WARNING

Failure to comply with the following warnings can result in permanent injury, electrocution

or death.

PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK

To reduce risk of electrical shock:

• Connect unit to receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI

receptacle should be provided by a qualied installer and should be tested on a routine basis.

To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button.

Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If

the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button being pushed, a ground current

is owing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this product. Disconnect the

cleaner and have the problem corrected by a qualied service representative before using.

• Per the United States National Electrical Code

®

(NEC

®

), keep the control unit at least ve (5) feet

from the edge of the (pool/spa) water. In Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requires

a minimum distance of 3m (10 ft.) to be maintained between the pool edge and the control unit.

Never submerge the control unit.

• Do not enter pool while the Polaris cleaner is in water.

• Do not bury cord. Locate cord so as to prevent it from being damaged by lawn mowers, hedge

trimmers and other equipment.

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use the Polaris robotic cleaner or control unit if the

cord is worn or damaged. Contact Zodiac Pool Systems LLC Technical Support immediately for

proper servicing and replacement of the damaged cord.

• Double insulation—For continued protection against possible electric shock, use only identical

replacement parts when servicing. Do not attempt repair of the Polaris robotic cleaner, control

unit, power cord, or oating cable.

• NEVER OPEN CONTROL UNIT.

• DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD TO CONNECT THE UNIT TO ELECTRIC SUPPLY;

PROVIDE A PROPERLY LOCATED GFCI RECEPTACLE. THE CONTROL UNIT SHOULD BE

PLUGGED INTO THE GFCI RECEPTACLE BOX.

PREVENT CHILD INJURY AND DROWNING

• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to operate this product.

• Do not let anyone, especially small children, sit, step, lean, or climb on any equipment installed as

part of your pool’s operational system.

1 Important Safety Instructions

Congratulations on purchasing this Polaris Robotic Cleaner. Please read through

the entire manual before installing your new robotic pool cleaner. Your cleaner must

be installed and operated as specied.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Page 5

English

CAUTION

Failure to comply with the following warnings could cause damage to pool equipment or personal injury.

• The Polaris cleaner must be installed and operated as specied.

• This product is intended for use with permanently-installed pools. Do not use with storable pools. A

permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be

readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily

disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.

• Clean the lter canister in the Polaris cleaner after each use.

• Do not use the product in your pool if the water temperature is above 95˚ F (35˚ C) or below 55˚ F (13˚ C).

USE OF THE POLARIS ROBOTIC CLEANER IN A VINYL LINER POOL

• Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear of pattern removal caused

by objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including pool brushes, pool toys, oats, 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. Zodiac Pool Systems LLC

is not responsible for, and the Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion or markings on

vinyl liners.

2 Cleaner Specications

General Specications

The general specications for the cleaner are as follows:

Control box

supply voltage

100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz

Cleaner Supply voltage

30 V DC

Installed load

100 W max

Cable length

Above-Ground - 45ft (14m)

In-Ground - 54ft (16.4m)

Cleaner size

(WxDxH)

14.5 x 11.4 x 11.8 in. (

37 x 29 x 30 cm)

Weight of Cleaner

15.4 lbs. (7 kg)

Filtration

All-purpose lter canister

Cycle lengths

2 hours for Above-Ground pool cycle

2.5 hours for In-Ground pool cycle

The cleaner is a double-insulated product. A double-insulated electrical appliance

is one which has been designed in such a way that it does not require a safety

connection to ground. The basic requirement for double-insulation is that no

single failure can result in dangerous voltage becoming exposed so that it might

cause an electric shock and that this is achieved without relying on an earthed

(grounded) metal casing. This is achieved by having two (2) layers of insulating

material surrounding live parts or by using reinforced insulation. Therefore,

devices having double-insulated construction, such as this cleaner, do not use a

grounded (three-prong) cord/plug.

• Do not leave your cleaner in the pool on a permanent basis.

• At the end of each cycle, remove the cleaner from the pool.

• Start at the cleaner head and untangle any coils in the cable before storing

the cleaner.

The Polaris robotic cleaner includes a safety feature that automatically stops the

cleaner if it is powered on but not submerged in water. For pools equipped with

a beach area, this safety feature is programmed to drive the cleaner in reverse

and back into the pool when the impeller is out of the water.

Install and Submerge the Cleaner

1. With the control box plugged into a GFCI outlet, spread the oating cable

across the pool deck until you reach the middle of the pool length.

2. Submerge cleaner vertically (1) and hold it under the surface, moving

gently from side to side (2) until the bubbles stop to remove any air trapped

inside (Figure 5).

3. When the bubbles stop, allow the cleaner to sink to the bottom of the pool.

4. Verify the cleaner is sitting on the bottom of the pool. Remove additional

air if the cleaner is still oating.

Replacing Wear Parts

Replacing Brushes

The cleaner is tted with a brush in front. There are ''wear'' indicators (Figure 20) on

the brush. To maintain cleaner performance at its best, replace the brush as soon

as the wear indicator has been reached. Zodiac recommends that you replace the

brushes every two (2) years.

wear

Figure 20. Worn Brush Indicator

To maintain cleaner performance at its best you need to replace the brush as soon

as one of the wear indicators is reached (even if the blade wear is not even). It is

recommended that you replace the brush when the rubber is worn down to the top

of the wear indicator (or every two years, whichever comes rst).

To replace a worn brush:

1. Separate the edges of the brush, undo the tabs, and remove the worn brush.

2. Position the new brush underneath the roller with the spikes facing

downwards (Figure 21).
