10. On the clear hose, make sure
one float is against the back-up
valve on the side opposite the
cleaner and another float is
within 2-3 feet. On the white
hoses, space the floats 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.
11. After the cleaner has been
connected, it is important to
check the wheel RPM:
• Mark the single-side wheel.
• Turn on the filtration and
booster pumps, and allow
the back-up valve to com-
plete a back-up cycle.
• Hold the cleaner completely
under the water and count the wheel revolutions for one minute.
• RPM range needs to be 28-32. (If it is not, refer to page 25.)

3. Lay the telepole next to the
clear hose. If the clear hose is
longer than the mark on the
telepole, cut the excess from
the end attached to the white
hose. Do not cut off the float.
Reattach the clear hose to the
white hose. It is easier to rein-
stall the swivels when the hose
and swivels are wet.
4. Screw the universal wall fitting
into the dedicated return line.
Attach the Quick Disconnect at
the end of the white hose to the
Universal Wall Fitting.
5. Extend the hose to the farthest
point of the pool. (The Polaris
will not usually climb onto the
top step, so do not count it in
your measurement.) If the hose
is within 6 inches of the farthest
point of the pool, go to step 10
on the next page. If the hose is
more than 6 inches short, add a
10-foot section of White Feed
Hose with Floats (part #9-100-
3104), two Mender Nuts (part
#D-15), and one Swivel (part
#D-20). Do not add more
than one 10-foot hose section.
6. Measure the amount of hose that extends past the farthest point of the
pool. This is the overage measurement. Do not cut the hose yet.
7. Lay the hose on the deck. Go to the swivel between the 10-foot white
hoses. Slide the floats away from the swivel and remove the swivel.
8. Cut an equal amount of the overage measurement from each 10-foot
white hose.
9. Reinstall the swivel with the flow arrows on the swivel pointing toward the
Polaris. (Refer to the “Proper Mender Nut Placement” diagram above.)

Feed hose is cut correctly if:
A. Clear hose is equal to greatest depth of pool.
B. Hard white hoses are equal in length.
C. Entire feed hose reaches within 6” of farthest point of pool.
D. Floats on white hoses are spaced evenly, between 1-1/2 to 3 feet apart.
