About The Product 

The tire, Max Trax (C10) is a replacement part made by Polaris. They are made from the same high-grade rubber material as the original factory part. Making this a genuine OEM product. This track is white and made from a solidified rubber material which gives the cleaner the ability to move with ease around the pool's bottom surface. It also gives the cleaner the ability to climb up and down the pool walls covering more surface area.

When trying to troubleshoot an issue you are having with your cleaner not moving or grabbing the pool's surface, you can start by checking the cleaner's Trax. These parts can wear and deteriorate over time based on the use of the cleaner. This is an indication that it may be time to replace these parts when the cleaner starts having trouble with its maneuverability.

How To Remove and Replace 

You do not need any tools to do this quick fix, this will be very simple. The first thing you will need to do is lay the cleaner on its side so you have a flat surface. All you are going to do is reach the back of the tires and peel off the rubber tire slowly. You will do the exact same thing on each tire. When you are going to install the tire, it does not matter which side you use. To replace these tires, you will want to start on one side and slowly make your way around. The tire is made out of rubber so you can pull and stretch it as need be to get the tire on properly. You are going to want to make sure that the lip of the tire itself is actually sitting on the groove. If you feel the back end of it, it feel level with the sand gravel guard. If everything feels flush then you know the tire is on right. If you are unsure how to do this or have any questions please contact us and we can help you to the best of our ability.
