4. Is the hose floating
properly? For 380: The white hoses (hose sections closest to
the pool wall) should float at the surface of the
pool with no dips or sags in the hose. The soft
clear hose (first section closest to the cleaner)
should angle down to the Polaris with no dips
or sags. If the hoses do not float properly,
check the float placement:
• There should be one float against the in-line
back-up valve on the side opposite the
cleaner and another float within 2-3 feet.
• Floats on the white hoses should be no less
than 1-1/2 feet and no more than 3 feet apart,
so that the white hoses do not sag.
• It may be necessary to remove floats to
maintain proper spacing.
If the float placement is correct and the hoses
still do not float properly, replace the floats.
For 360: • There should be one float on the back-up
valve, one float 4 feet back and one float
7 feet back from the back-up valve.
`•The hose should angle down to the
Polaris with no dips or sags.
If the float placement is correct and the
hoses still do not float properly, replace
the floats.

3. Is the back-up valve Watch the back-up jet. The jet should cycle on
cycling? and off. The jet should stay off longer than
it stays on. If it does not cycle properly, bring
the cleaner and hose in for repair.
With the Cleaner Off:
Topic Recommendation
1. Verify the recommended • Thrust jet set at 11 o’clock position.
settings: • Head float pushed all the way forward.
• Sweep hose adjusted for a gentle sweeping
motion when the cleaner is running.
2. Is the drive train Spin each wheel independently. As you spin
functioning? each wheel, all the wheels should spin togeth-
er freely. If not, bring the cleaner in for repair.
3. Is the hose cut properly?
For 380: • The soft clear hose (first section closest to
the cleaner) should be equal to the great-
est depth of the pool. (After a period of
time in the water, the clear hose will begin
to turn white.)
• The hard white hose sections should be
equal in length.
• The end of the feed hose should reach within
6 inches of the farthest point of the pool.
For 360: • The end of the hose should reach within
6 inches of the farthest point with the pool
pump on.
