It can be manually adjusted by screwing it in our out of the wall fitting housing. Screwing it all the way in give the Polaris the maximum amount of pressure and speeds it up, unscrewing it will relieve the pressure and slow the cleaner down.
Moreover, why does my Polaris pool cleaner get stuck?
Adjust the float about 1 inch from the mast pipe. So push it all the way in and then pull back about an inch. If it still get stuck adjust the thrust jet at the back by slightly loosing the screws on around the base of the jet and play around with it until it covers the pool properly. Hope this helps.

If those ball bearings can’t roll, the connectors can’t swivel, the hose can’t move properly, and you have a tangle on your hands. Check the connectors to ensure they move freely. If they don’t, apply a little waterproof lubricant to ball bearings. If this doesn’t help, you may need to replace the connectors.
How do you adjust the thrust on a Polaris pool cleaner?

- Moving the jet left moves the Polaris left.

A Leaky Hose
Leaks in the Polaris hose cause the cleaner to lose pressure, allowing it to float above the pool bottom. To check for leaks, turn the system on and pull the hose out of the water one section at a time, looking for bubbles or trickles of water.
