Restore Precise Drive Movement to Your Polaris Pool Cleaner

The Polaris Drive Gear Kit, 9300 (R0518800) is a genuine OEM replacement part designed to restore proper internal drive motion inside compatible Polaris pressure-side pool cleaners. These small but critical gears transfer rotational force within the cleaner’s drivetrain, allowing wheels and internal components to move smoothly and consistently.

Over time, drive gears naturally wear from constant rotation, debris load, and water exposure. When gears become worn or stripped, the cleaner may lose traction, hesitate, or stop moving altogether. Replacing them early helps prevent larger transmission failures.

What the Polaris R0518800 Drive Gear Kit Does

Inside a Polaris pool cleaner, drive gears play a key role in converting water pressure into mechanical movement. The R0518800 drive gear kit replaces worn internal gears to restore balanced rotation and proper cleaner operation.

This kit helps:

• Restore smooth wheel and drivetrain movement

• Eliminate slipping or stalled motion

• Maintain correct internal gear alignment

• Reduce strain on the transmission assembly

• Extend the overall lifespan of the pool cleaner

If your Polaris cleaner runs but does not move correctly, worn drive gears are often the cause.

Designed for Polaris 9300-Series Pool Cleaners

The Polaris R0518800 Drive Gear Kit is engineered specifically for use in compatible Polaris 9300-series pressure-side pool cleaners. Manufactured to OEM specifications, these gears ensure proper fit, durability, and long-term reliability.

Despite Shopify’s incorrect category assignment, this product is not a toy accessory. It is a professional swimming pool cleaner replacement part.

Includes Two Replacement Drive Gears

This kit includes two (2) genuine Polaris drive gears, allowing you to replace matched components at the same time for balanced operation. Replacing gears in pairs helps prevent uneven wear and maintains smoother drivetrain performance.

Common Signs Drive Gears Need Replacement

You may need the Polaris R0518800 drive gear kit if your cleaner shows any of the following symptoms:

• Cleaner runs but does not move

• Jerky or inconsistent movement

• Reduced climbing ability

• Internal slipping noises

• Wheels stop turning under load

Replacing worn drive gears early can help avoid costly transmission damage.

Cost-Effective Preventative Maintenance

Instead of replacing an entire transmission or drivetrain assembly, installing new drive gears is a smart, low-cost repair that restores function while protecting surrounding components. Pool service professionals often replace drive gears as part of routine cleaner maintenance.

Genuine Polaris OEM Quality

As a factory Polaris replacement part, the R0518800 Drive Gear Kit meets strict OEM standards for:

• Dimensional accuracy

• Material durability

• Smooth rotational performance

• Compatibility with original Polaris components

Using genuine Polaris parts helps ensure long-term reliability and consistent cleaner performance.

Installation Notes

Basic installation guidelines include:

• Turn off and disconnect the cleaner

• Access the internal drivetrain per Polaris service instructions

• Replace both drive gears at the same time

• Inspect surrounding components for wear

• Reassemble and test operation

Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with internal cleaner repairs.
