V. Assembly
A wrench 17 is needed to perform the assembly Although one person can prepare the hurdle for use, a convenient
and fast assembly process requires two persons
To assemble the hurdle please do the following:
a) slide carefully one hurdle foot (item 2) into one frame socket (item 1),
b) make sure the foot (item 2) is properly placed in the socket, if it is not straight, please correct its position,
c) screw the foot (item 2) to the hurdle frame (item 1) by means of the foot screw (item 4) and the washer
(item3),
d) install the other foot in the same way
The main goal of the hurdle collapsible construction is to assure easy and cheap transport Note that once you screw
the feet down, the hurdle is practically non-dismountable Therefore we do not recommend unscrewing the hurdle
feet during idle periods Removing the feet without proper tools can cause serious hurdle damages which Polanik shall
not be liable for

During idle periods the hurdles must be stored in a roofed dry place For optimal performance they should be stored
and transported on Polanik hurdle carts: HC-23 and HC-34

for the counterweight sliding mechanisms, which should be dismounted, cleaned and greased

 hurdle foot plastic plug for PP-173 (2 pcs for each hurdle) code: S-0008-001-00-00-05,
grease (approx 50g for each foot),
wrench 19,
hex key 5

a) push down the foot catch and slide it toward the plastic plug,
b) put hex key into the bolt M6 through the technological hole under the foot,
c) hold the foot catch bolt with wrench 19 and unscrew the bolt M6 with the hex key,
d) remove the foot catch bolt and the spring from the counterweight,
