Thank you for choosing Polanik Club pole vault stands STT17-63F.
Safe assembly and use
Before you start to assemble and use the stand please read this manual carefully, watch the instruction film
about the Polanik Professional foldable stands, the folding mechanism of the Polanik Club foldable stands is
based on the same idea (scan the QR code to watch the film on the webpage):
Do not install or use the stands without a landing area.
The stand bases must be anchored to the ground.
During idle periods the posts of the stands which are installed outside must be folded and the whole jumping
facility must be secured with garage, or if there is no garage available the stands must dissembled and
stored in a dry roofed place.
The stands come with the electronic counters which are programmed and calibrated at our factory. The
counter is always on. The battery life is min. 5 years. The keypad is blocked to protect factory settings
against any accidental alternation. If the settings of the counter are erased please contact us before using
the stands.
The sports equipment produced by Polanik is designed for athletics training and use in sports competitions
only. Please pay special attention especially when using throwing implements and other throwing
equipment, misuse of athletics equipment and implements can cause serious injury or in extreme cases even
death. That is why training and use during sports events have to be always supervised by authorized sports

After assembly and
positioning the stands
their bases must be
fastened to the ground
using the mounting
holes of the flat bars of
the bases.
The omission of
that operation may
cause the stands
overturn and result in
serious accident or
damages.
It is recommended that hex nut head steel sleeve anchors dia. 12 mm and
length 100 mm (holes in concrete must be of dia. 12 mm and 100 –120 mm
deep) are used for anchorage. The concrete layer is to be dry and non-
cracked. For the installation of the anchors please see their producer’s
instruction.

V. Operation
Adjusting the height
1. Turn the brake handle counter clockwise to
release the brake.
2. Turn the crank clockwise or counter clockwise
until a desired height is visible on the electronic
counter.
3. Turn the brake handle clockwise to block the
brake until you feel resistance, do not use
excessive force.
Adjusting the distance from “0” line
Turn the brake knob counter clockwise to release
the brake, position the blue arrow (situated on the
post sleeve) so that it points to a desired distance
from “0” line on the scale installed on the stand
base, and then turn the brake knob clockwise to
block the brake.

Folding the post
You need 2 people to fold the post.
To fold the post the landing area or the support
(included in the set, item 4) is needed.
1. Adjust the height to minimum, and slide the post
to “0” on the base.
2. While one person is securing the post as high
above the hinge as possible, the other person
loosens the screws of the blocking bar, and slides
it down to unlock the hinge.
3. Next lower the post slowly and put it carefully
on the landing area or support (included in the set,
item 4).
Do not let the post fall down freely on
the landing area or on the support, the post’s
inertial force may damage the stand. Do not fold
the post without landing area or support. Do not
let the post fall down on the ground –it may
damage the stand folding mechanism.
Lifting the post to upright position
Adjust the distance of the post to “0”. Lift the post slowly to upright position. While one person is securing the
post, the other one should rise the blocking bar and screw down the screws.
VI. Remarks on maintenance and operating the stands
As the producer we have done our best to make pole vault stands guarantee maximum safety level, be easily
operated and reliable in use. However the stands like any other pieces of sports equipment requires periodical
inspections and must be used according to the instruction manual, the IAAF rules and operated by authorized
personnel. While operating the stands the following rules must be observed:
The base wheels should be only used to transport the stands on level surfaces and within short
distances. For long distances you must unscrew the posts from the bases.
While changing the height of the crossbar support or adjusting the distance of the post to “0” line make
sure to slow down before reaching extreme positions. That allows you to avoid “banging” which may
result in excessive load of the mechanisms.
During idle periods the stand posts must be folded and put on the landing area (or the included
supports, item 4) and the whole jumping facility must be secured with a garage.
If there is no garage available in the facility, the folded posts must be protected against rain with a
waterproof cover (not included), but that is only acceptable during summer athletics season. When the
season ends the stands must be dismounted and stored in a dry and roofed place.
