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.
