POLE MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Schedule:
Keep the pole as clean as possible at all mes. Wiping the pole hose aer
each use will reduce the amount of dirt entering the pole. A wipe with a
cloth as you are coiling the hose away is sucient.
Hose the pole down once a week or aer working in griy or sandy envi-
ronments. To do this, either hose up from the base of the pole with all
clamps open or undo clamp bolts unl loose and slide secons apart to
clean between the secons.
Servicing Schedule:
In addion to the above schedule we recommend fully taking apart the
pole at least every 2 months to clean and service. Undoing the clamps
bolts and removing the lever set, then using a widget fully hold open
the clamp jaws—this will allow the secons to slide apart.
Whilst apart, clean and dry all secons and check and replace, if needed,
the stop-indicator tape and the wrap of tape at the base of each secon.
Failure to replace missing or worn joint indicator tape will accelerate
wear and invalidate any warranty on the pole.
Addionally, a spray of dry-lm PTFE spray over the overlap area will im-
prove the life of the pole. DO NOT USE OIL-BASED LUBRICANTS SUCH AS
WD-40 or GT-85
The clamps are ed with Delrin shims between the lever cam and the
clamp body. The shims are designed to take most of the wear during
use. Check these periodically for wear and replace when needed.
