Check the debris bag regularly and empty it as needed to maintain optimal suction.

Refer to your original Polaris pool cleaner manual for specific operational guidelines and settings.

Regular maintenance of your pool cleaner, including the turbine housing, will extend its lifespan and ensure efficient cleaning.

Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the turbine upper housing for cracks, wear, or debris accumulation.
Cleaning: If debris is visible within the turbine area, disconnect the cleaner from power, remove the housing (following installation steps in reverse), and clean it thoroughly.
Component Check: While the housing is removed, check other internal components like the turbine blades and bearings for wear or damage. Replace any worn parts as necessary.
Storage: When storing the pool cleaner for extended periods, ensure it is clean and dry.
