CAUTION: USE OF THE POLARIS IN A VINYL LINER POOL
Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear or pattern removal caused by objects coming into contact
with the vinyl surface, including pool brushes, pool toys, floats, 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, Inc. is not
responsible for, and the Limited Warranty does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion 0r markings on vinyl liners.

Congratulations on the purchase of your new automatic pool cleaner, and thank you for
choosing Polaris. The Polaris 3900 Sport/P39 is designed to give you years of dependable
and efficient service.
Like most mechanical devices, it will require periodic adjustments, routine maintenance, and
the replacement of certain hardworking parts. Please have the cleaner checked occasionally
by your local Polaris dealer or service center.
Always insist on genuine Polaris replacement parts. Non-Polaris parts are not made to our
specifications. They may have an adverse effect on the operation of your Polaris or may even
damage it.
For best results, the cleaner should be installed by a pool professional. Forthose with
experience and confidence in handling plumbing and mechanical equipment, installation is
outlined in this manual.

Adjust Feed Hose To Fit Pool Length
1. Measure the deepest part of the pool. Cut leader hose from the end that attaches to the
feed hose (away from the back up valve) so length is equal to the greatest depth of the
pool.
2. Attach leader hose to feed hose and connect hose to the pool wall at the return line.
Extend hose to farthest point of pool. The hose end must be within 6 inches — longer or
shorter— of the farthest point. See diagram below.
If hose is too long: Separate hose at center swivel. Cut half ofthe overage from each
10-foot feed hose section that attaches to the center swivel.
If hose is too short: Add a feed hose section (part #9-100-3104), a swivel (part #D20)
and two (2) hose nuts (part #D15). Adjust to proper length.
Each feed hose section should be equal in length after adjustments.
3. After adjusting the length, position the hose floats as shown.
ACAUTION
