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 box 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 box.
Never submerge the control box.
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 box 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 insulationFor continued protection against possible electric shock, use only identical
replacement parts when servicing. Do not attempt repair of the Polaris robotic cleaner, control
box, 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 BOX 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.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL 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 o 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
100-125 VAC, 60 Hz
Supply voltage
30 V DC
Installed load
150 W max
Cable length
60ft (18M) or 70ft (21M) depending on model
Cleaner size
(WxDxH)
16.9 x 18.9 x 10.6 in. (
43 x 48 x 27 cm)
Weight of Cleaner
21 lbs. (9.5 kg)
Packed weight
42 lbs. (19 kg)
Filtration
All-purpose lter canister
Cycle lengths
Variable programming
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.

Store the Cleaner When Not in Use
The cleaner should be cleaned regularly using
slightly soapy clean water. Do not use solvents
such as trichlorethylene or its equivalent. Rinse
the cleaner generously using clean water. Do not
let your cleaner dry in direct sunlight near the pool.
The cleaner should be stored on its caddy so that it
dries quickly.
1. Disconnect cleaner from the power source.
2. Starting at the cleaner head, remove all
coils and tangles from the cable (Figure
24). Lay the cable in the sun to loosen any
tangling memory.
3. Place the rear wheels on the caddy and
position the cleaner vertically on the caddy
base.
4. Disconnect the cable from the control box.
Replace the protective cap on the control
box.

cleaner and moving toward the connection
point at control box. Store the cable by
wrapping it around the hook located on the
front of the caddy.
Replacing Wear Parts
Replacing Brushes
The cleaner is tted with PVC brushes with a
''wear'' indicator. (Figure 25).
raised groove becomes
partially flattened,
indicating excessive
wear
Figure 25. Worn Brush Indicator
To maintain cleaner performance at its best you
need to replace the brushes 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 brushes 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. Lift the cleaner to a vertical position so that
the handle is up (Figure 26).

2. Separate the edges of the brush and undo
the tabs (Figure 27). Remove the worn
brushes.

than the cleaning blade (Figure 30).
6. Repeat the procedure to install the second
brush.
