5. Verify that the base weight is installed.
6. Check the feed hose for excessive swelling or leaks.
7. Install a Street Ell at the wall (part #9-100-9003).
PROBLEM: Thrust jet and/or sweep hose sprays out of the pool when
the cleaner is hung up on a step or the UWF.
SOLUTION:
1. Verify proper water pressure
and wheel RPM (380–28-32
psi; 360–12-14 psi;
380/360–28-32 RPM). (Refer
to pages 25-26.)
2. Verify the hose is cut correctly.
(380 refer to page 3; 360 refer
to page 7.)
3. Check that the pool water level
is not too high.
4. Trim 7 inches off the sweep
hose (at the end that attaches
to the Polaris) and add a Sweep
Hose Weight (part #B-2).
5. If the cleaner hangs up on the
Universal Wall Fitting, install a
Street Ell at the wall (part #9-
100-9003).
PROBLEM: Cleaner moves too slowly.
SOLUTION:
1. Check the filter screen in the quick disconnect for debris.
2. Verify proper water pressure and wheel RPM (380–28-32 psi; 3
60–12-14
psi
; 380/360–28-32 RPM). (Refer to pages 25-26.)
3. Check for leaks in hoses, connections and swivels.
4. Check the back-up valve for proper operation. (Refer to pages 30-31.)
5. Check for holes in the sweep hose.
6. Check for debris in the drive jet. (Refer to page 29.)
7. Check the drive train. (Refer to page 33.)
8. Check the water management system hoses for leaks and loose
hose clamps.
VII. PROBLEM/SOLUTION TROUBLESHOOTING
For best results follow the problem/solution troubleshooting scenarios in the
order in which they are listed. If you have any questions, please call 1-800-
VAC-SWEEP.
PROBLEM: Cleaner hangs up on corners, steps or other obstacles
longer than two back-up cycles.
SOLUTION:
1. Verify proper water pressure
and wheel RPM (380–28-32
psi; 360–12-14 psi;
380/360–28-32 RPM). (Refer to
pages 25-26.)
2. Verify the in-line back-up valve
is cycling. (Refer to pages
30-31.)
3. Check for debris in bag.
4. Verify the floats are floating and spaced properly. (Refer to #4 on page 13.)
5. Adjust the thrust jet to prevent the cleaner from hanging up. (Note: verify
that the new setting does not cause the cleaner to circle or hinder its
wall climbing.)
6. Move the head float back to decrease the cleaner’s ability to climb into
areas where it may hang up.
7. Move the back-up valve and its adjacent float further back on the hose
(away from the cleaner).
8. Install a Ladder Guard Kit (part #G-21) where applicable.
PROBLEM: Feed hose tangles or ties itself in knots.
SOLUTION:
1. Verify the hose is cut correctly.
(380 refer to page 3; 360 refer
to page 7.)
2. Verify proper water pressure
and wheel RPM (380–28-32
psi; 360–12-14 psi;
380/360–28-32 RPM). (Refer to
pages 25-26.)
3. Verify the floats are floating
and spaced properly. (Refer to #4 on page 13.)
4. Verify the swivels turn freely and the flow arrows point toward the cleaner.
