Owner's manual

Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 is an automatic pool cleaner that vacuums, sweeps, and scrubs all surfaces randomly throughout the pool. It is designed for pools with a dedicated cleaner return line and a threaded 1-1/2” female pipe fitting. The Polaris 280 has a climbing ability that depends on the pool’s pressure or flow shape and water placement. It goes into back-up mode every 3 minutes to pull away from pool obstacles and increase its random pattern. The thrust jet powers the direction of the Polaris, and the sweep hose moves in a gentle sweeping motion.

ARNING:
USE OF POLARIS 280 IN A
VINYL LINER POOL
Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear or pattern removal caused by objects coming
into contact with the vinyl surface, including pool brushes, pool toys, floats, fountains, chlorine dispensers, and automatic pool
cleaners
. Some vinyl liner patterns can be seriously scratched or abraded simply by rubbing the surface with a pool brush.
Ink from the pattern can also rub off during the installation process or when it comes into contact with objects in the pool.
Polaris is not responsible for, and the Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion or markings on vinyl liners.

our quick steps to install and get maximum performance from the Polaris 280:
Install the Universal Wall Fitting (UWF) with Quick Disconnect
Adjust feed hose to fit pool length
Assemble the cleaner
Check for proper wheel RPM (revolutions per minute)
Install the Universal Wall Fitting
Installs in minutes on pools with a dedicated cleaner return line and a threaded 1-1/2” female
pipe fitting.
1. Turn on the filtration pump and flush out the plumbing line.Turn pump off.
2. Remove the UWF from the Quick Disconnect and screw the UWF with the blue restrictor
disk into the return opening.
3. Turn the Quick Disconnect clockwise into the UWF and pull away to secure.
Adjust Feed Hose To Fit Pool Length
Measure the deepest part of the pool. Cut leader hose, from end that attaches to feed hose, so
length is equal to the greatest depth of the pool.
Attach leader hose to feed hose and connect hose to the pool wall at the return line. Extend
hose to farthest point of pool. The hose end must be within 6" – longer or shorter – of the
f
arthest point. See dotted circle.
Hose too long? Separate hose at center swivel. Cut equal amounts of the overage from
each 10-foot feed hose section.
Hose too shor
t
? Buy an additional f
eed hose section (par
t #9-100-3104), one swivel (part
#D20) and two hose nuts (part #D15) from an authorized Polaris dealer.
After adjusting hose, position hose floats as shown.

Assemble the Cleaner
1. Use the nut to attach the feed hose to
the feed pipe.
2
. Pull out the bag and attach the bag
collar to the feed hose.
3. Position the head float 1/2 to 1 inch
back from feed pipe.
4. Turn on the pool filtration pump and
allow it to prime before turning on the
booster pump.
Check for Proper RPM
Before operating the Polaris, check for proper wheel revolutions per minute (RPM). For
maximum efficiency, the Polaris should operate between 28 and 32 RPM.
1.
Mark the single-wheel side tire.
2. Turn pump on, hold cleaner below water level and count wheel revolutions for 1 minute.
3. Optimum speed should be between 28 and 32 RPM.
If count is
less than 28 RPM:
Check the filter screen in the in-line filter for debris that restricts water flow.
Clean the skimmer, filter and pump basket, clearing debris that restricts water flow.
Check the hoses, connections and swivels for leaks that cause loss of water pressure.
Remove the blue restrictor disk from the UWF.
If an adjustable gate valve is installed on the booster pump or cleaner line, open it
completely so water can flow freely to the Polaris.
If count is
more than 32 RPM:
Replace the blue restrictor disk in the UWF with the red restrictor. If the flow is still too
high, unscrew the pressure relief valv
e until the proper RPM is reached.
Note: The
pressure relief valve should only be adjusted if a restrictor is installed.
If an adjustable valve is installed after the booster pump, adjust it to reduce the water
flow to the cleaner.

Sweep Hose
English
W
hen operating correctly, the Polaris 280 vacuums, sweeps and scrubs all surfaces
randomly throughout the pool. The climbing ability of the Polaris depends on the pool’s
s
hape and water pressure or flow. The Polaris climbs best in pools without sharp angles
or curves in the transition from the pool floor to the pool wall.
Approximately every 3 minutes the Polaris 280 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 straight back, but depending on the
pool, other settings are helpful.
Sweep Hose Adjustment
The sweep hose should move in a gentle sweeping
motion. To increase or decrease its motion, turn off the
booster pump and turn the sweep hose adjustment screw.
(Clockwise turn will reduce.)
See Troubleshooting for other action adjustments.
Cleaning the Filter 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.
In-Line Filter
T
o clean this screen, pull it out of the
in-line filter, rinse it and press it firmly
back into place.
Storage and Winterizing
Ne
v
er 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. In
some cases
, it ma
y be necessary to use the UWF Removal Tool (part #10-102-00)
available from an authorized Polaris dealer.

Fine Tuning The Polaris Cleaner
Whenever possible, 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
filter bags. When one becomes full,
remove it and put on the clean bag.

If the Polaris cleaner displays the following
actions, adjustments may be necessary to
restore performance. Refer to exploded
p
arts diagram for part references.
Action: Hangs up on steps or other
obstacles for longer than 3
minutes.
Solution: 1. Check the wheel RPM.
2. Verify the back-up valve
is cycling.
3. Adjust the thrust jet.
4. Remove unnecessary pool
hardware or install a Ladder
Guard Kit (order part #G21
from a Polaris dealer).
Action: Polaris is sluggish, running
with less power than normal.
Solution: 1. Check the filter screen in
the in-line filter and clean,
if necessary.
2. Clean the skimmer basket,
pump basket, and pool filter.
3. Check all of the hoses,
connections, and swivels for
leaks that could cause loss of
water pressure.
4.
Check the wheel RPM.
Action: Polaris flies around the pool
and/or does not make contact
with the bottom.
Solution: 1. Check the wheel RPM. If
more than 32 RPM, unscrew
the pressure relief valve to
decrease water flow to
the cleaner.
2. Confirm that the blue
restrictor disk is installed in
the UWF to decrease w
ater
flow. Or, install the red
restrictor disk to decrease
w
ater flo
w e
v
en more
.
3. Verify the back-up valve is
cycling. Hold the valve out of
the water and watch the jet.
I
t should come on and go off.
Action: Polaris does not back up.
Solution: 1. Verify the back-up valve
is cycling.
2. Check the wheel RPM.
3. If the bag is full, empty it.
4. If head float has water in it,
replace it.
5. Make sure feed hose is
floating.
Action: Polaris only turns in one
direction.
Solution: 1. Adjust the thrust jet.
2. Make sure feed hose
is floating.
Action: Feed hose becomes tangled.
Solution: 1. Remeasure the hose to
verify that it is adjusted to
the proper length for the
pool shape.
2. With the Polaris operating,
check that the swivels in
the hose and the hose
connections tur
n freely.
3. Make sure feed hose
is floating.
4. With the Polaris turned off,
spin each of the wheels. All
wheels should turn together.
Action: Sweep hose is sucked into
the v
acuum tube
.
Solution: 1. Make sure the opening at
the end of the s
w
eep hose is
not blocked by the sweep
hose scrubber.
2. Adjust the sweep hose to a
gentle sweeping motion.
Troubleshooting
www
.polar
ispool.com

Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 Owner's manual

Category
Above ground pool accessories
Type
Owner's manual

Polaris Vac-Sweep 280 is an automatic pool cleaner that vacuums, sweeps, and scrubs all surfaces randomly throughout the pool. It is designed for pools with a dedicated cleaner return line and a threaded 1-1/2” female pipe fitting. The Polaris 280 has a climbing ability that depends on the pool’s pressure or flow shape and water placement. It goes into back-up mode every 3 minutes to pull away from pool obstacles and increase its random pattern. The thrust jet powers the direction of the Polaris, and the sweep hose moves in a gentle sweeping motion.
