PaulR Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 This sounds to me like a problem with the thrust jet not pointing the right way, or possibly something inside the unit has gummed up the wheels on one side. But I'm not an expert, just a fellow owner. --paulr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westc Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 My Polaris did the same thing. Make sure the jet at the back of it is in the 11 o'clock position. Mine was doing this because a belt had broken inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Raider Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 The rear jet needs to be set at 11 O-clock like mentioned and for starters. Check to see if all three wheels are getting equal traction. Check the ballast float, actually remove it and see if it feels like it is full of water. It shouldn't feel like it has water in it. When they go bad it will fill up with water and make the unit top heavy and likely to lean to one side. Also check all of the lead hose floats and make sure they aren't bad in full of water as well.
