INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Read the instructions completely before starting and verify you have
the materials and tools listed above.
Step 2: Select a good location for placing your agpole. Check and make
sure there are no power lines above or below ground
Step 3: Dig a hole 12" in diameter and 26" deep in rm or heavy soil.
A larger hole may be necessary in loose or sandy soil.
Step 4: Place the pea rock or gravel in the bottom of the hole and level to a
depth of approximately 4". The pea rock or gravel will help
with drainage.
Step 5: Install the 1/4" stop bolt in the ground sleeve then install the
nut. Tighten nut so that the bolt is not damping down to tight on
the ground sleeve. Check by slipping the ground sleeve onto the
agpole and make sure the sleeve moves freely up and down and
can make contact with the bolt.
Step 6: Place ground sleeve in the center of the hole and lay the level on
the ground across the hole next to the ground sleeve. You should
have 2" of the ground sleeve above ground level. If not remove
ground sleeve and add or remove pea rock or gravel as needed to
obtain the 2" measurement above ground level.
Step 7: Install agpole into the ground sleeve. Using the masking tape,
tape the rst 2" of the ground sleeve and 10" of the bottom of the
agpole. This will keep the concrete from making contact with the
exposed ground sleeve and the ag pole in the next step.
Step 8: Pour concrete into mixing container and the mix as directed.
Step 9: Have your assistant hold the agpole in the center of the hole
and use the level to check the agpole’s alignment. Now pourthe
concrete into the hole until it is level with the ground. Check two
locations on the pole 90 degrees apart with the level to ensure the
pole is straight up and down. Allow concrete to set before removing
pole from the ground sleeve
Step 10: Let concrete harden according to the manufacturer’s requirements.
We recommend placing a warning ag or some object by the
ground sleeve. This will protect the ground sleeve from being
disturbed as well as eliminate the chances of personal injury while
the cement hardens. Remove masking tape.
Step 11: Install provided Hose Clamp at top of ground sleeve and tighten
around pole.

Slide the agpole into the ground sleeve, making sure that
no dirt enters the ground sleeve.
Step 2:
Mount ball on pole by screwing into top of truck,tightening
with pliers or small pipe wrench. Attach the ag to the
rotating collars.
Step 3:
To raise the agpole, rst raise the smallest section to its
full extent. Allowing the section to self index, slightly rotate
counter-clockwise and lower to engage locking tab.
NOTE: It is not necessary to exert force to lock each
section in place.
Repeat with remaining sections.
Step 4:
To lower the pole, reverse the procedure in Step 1. Slightly
raise each section, turning clockwise to disengage the
locking tabs. Each section of the pole should be lowered
slowly, not allowing sections to drop freely.
CAUTION:
This agpole is not designed to withstand high winds
while lying a ag. Your agpole should be lowered or
removed for storage in the event of extreme weather
