Polaris question

[vrolland]

Hey friends
cleaning up after Florence - not a lot of fun. But, my tires on the Polaris are now about 7 years new and they have developed a gray gunk that's keeping them from cruising along the bottom. when the cleaner hits a wall, it gets stuck because of this gunk, I believe. maybe not. but how does one clean those, or do you just buy new ones? Thanks and have a good one !

If your Polaris 380 is 7 years young it would benefit from a tuneup using a rebuild kit which includes new wheels.

Had the same problem and I purchased the wheels and bearings on amazon and replaced. Unsure if you'll need the full rebuild kit at $150 but won't argue with ajw22's suggestion so you'll have everything you need.

VERY easy to replace any parts on the 280. I'd grab a fine bag replacement as well.

Also suggest you buy OEM Polaris, we have a lot of problems with poor quality knock-off parts being used on cleaners, it just depends on how good the knock-offs are many are junk and wear out faster and can cause other issues since a lot of Testing goes into validating parts on our cleaners.
