Technical Specifications
- Part Number: A49
- Compatible Models: Polaris 180, Polaris 280, Polaris TR28P pressure-side cleaners
- Inclusions: Wheels, tires, bearings, axles, drive shaft assembly, and other wear-items (see kit contents)
- Application: Replacement service kit for worn-out cleaner mechanisms to restore coverage and movement performance
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Prior to installing, turn off the booster pump and isolate the cleaner. Remove the old wheels, tires, bearings and other worn components. Clean all housing and mounting surfaces of debris. Install the new parts from the A49 kit according to the correct sequence for your model (180/280/TR28P). After reassembly, reconnect the cleaner, prime the booster system, and run a test to verify full travel, correct hose length and proper debris pickup.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect wheels and tires annually and consider replacing as part of scheduled service to avoid reduced coverage.
- If the cleaner begins to skip areas, stalls or weakens its movement, the kit can help restore full functionality without replacing the entire unit.
- Keep spare kits in stock for service calls—reduces travel time and increases first-visit success rate.
Why Choose This Kit?
For pool service professionals, the Polaris A49 Factory Tune-Up Kit offers a cost-effective way to maintain or renew pressure-side pool cleaner performance. Instead of replacing the full cleaner, you can replace the wear-items that matter and extend service life—making it a smart inventory item for your parts-supply store.
