Using a pressure side cleaner with skimmer closed

Started closing my inground pool (first time doing it myself) and got delayed due to storms for a couple of days, so it's partially done. I have water drained below the skimmer, but still above the returns (thanks rain!). I took the jet fiitings off, but that's as far as I got. Being caught by the storms, my pristine pool now has a bunch of debris in it. To clean it up, can I close the skimmer valve and hook my Polaris 380 (pressure side with booster pump) back up to do a final cleaning? I've only ever run it when the pool is fully operational with main and skimmer both open, so just not sure.

Thanks!
 
As long as you have main drains and can open those all the way and close the skimmers all the way, you should be fine.
