EXTRACTION GUIDE
Dismantle to store during winter
Your PROBASE can stay under the
snow during wintertime.
However, if you wish to remove
it for storage during winter, only
unscrew the upper section of the
PROBASE and store it. The pivot
base and the section pushed into
the ground can remain in place.
Reinstallation in spring will be
quick and easy.

least 1/2” of diameter

the wooden block.
