ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Bag
Remove the bag collar from the feed hose and depress the prongs to release the bag from
the cleaner. Open the bag closure and dump out the debris.
FINE TUNING THE POLARIS CLEANER
When operating correctly, the Polaris 380 vacuums, sweeps and scrubs all surfaces randomly
throughout the pool. Approximately every three minutes the Polaris 380 goes into back-up
mode. This action pulls the Polaris away from pool obstacles and increases its random
pattern.
Thrust Jet Adjustment
The thrust jet powers the direction of the
Polaris. Factory position is eleven o’clock,
but depending on the pool, other settings are
helpful.
Sweep Hose Adjustment
The sweep hose should move in a
gentle sweeping motion. To adjust,
turn off the booster pump and turn the
sweep hose adjustment screw. Turn
clockwise to decrease the motion.

Bag Collar
Empty the filter bag when it is
half full, especially if the dirt
load is sand.
It is easier to empty the filter
bag when it is dry. Alternate
between two bags.
Cleaning the Filters
Always disconnect the Polaris before cleaning
or backwashing the pool filter, and let the
filtration system run for at least five minutes
before reconnecting the cleaner.
To clean the in-line filter screen, pull it out of
the filter assembly, rinse it and press it firmly
back into place
Storage and Winterizing
Never store the Polaris in direct sunlight. When storing for the winter, drain out all the water
(freeze damage is not covered under the warranty). Remove the UWF from the pool wall by
attaching the Quick Disconnect and using pulling pressure to unscrew. If necessary, use the
UWF Removal Tool (part #10-102-00) available from any authorized Polaris dealer.
