LEADERS IN POLE & AERIAL FITNESS
®
Thank you for buying an A-FRAME. The team at X-POLE have spent a significant amount of time
researching, designing and developing the A-FRAME. We want the A-FRAME to be the world’s leading
Aerial Apparatus, if it’s not; we want to understand why not! At X-POLE we thrive on positive criticism
and suggestions! So contact us (details on the back cover) if you have any comments or suggestions
on how to improve the product.
BEFORE USING YOUR A-FRAME
Mis-using the aerial apparatus can be dangerous, not only to the user but also to anyone close to the
A-FRAME. The use of an A-FRAME is always at the user’s discretion, and it is the user’s responsibility
to check the A-FRAME is installed correctly & safely before use.
Aerial exercise is extremely physical and uses muscles that you will not have used before and therefore
if you are not warmed up; muscle damage, strains and injury can occur. Before using the A-FRAME it is
mandatory to warm up and, after use, cool down.
It is highly recommended that before you use you’re a-FRAME you purchase a suitable DVD/attend
classes to learn the basic moves. Never try moves beyond your ability without an instructor. If at any
time whilst using your A-FRAME you feel uncomfortable, your muscles hurt, or you are short of breath
– take a break. Always rest between moves & exercise sensibly, if you experience any health issues,
seek medical advice.
Have fun with your A-FRAME!
The X-POLE Team.
WHAT TO WEAR
When it comes to clothing - try to avoid loose fitting clothing. It is important to wear clothing that
covers the backs of your knees and under your arms when attempting Aerial Hoop. Cotton fabrics are
more compatible with silks than shiny lycra. Long hair should be tied back. Aerial fitness is generally
done in bare feet as this gives you the best grip. (Thin ballet pump type shoes can also be worn). You
will want a top that can be tucked in to give your back protection. Long stretch pants such as leggings
and a tight-fitting top are suggested. Shorts or vest tops are not recommended, and loose clothing
may get in the way. Jewellery and watches should not be worn.

ATTACHMENT OF LEGS
When the A-Frame is delivered, it will be set at minimum height (easy for transportation).
Remove both pin on the left side of your view, as illustrated. With one person lifting – the legs can then
be extended and pinned back into position (please ensure that the pins are positioned in the inside of
the A-Frame & the legs are pinned back into position using the adjustment line to align).
Repeat this process on the right side of your view. Please ensure both sides are level and extended
evenly.
To raise higher/lower the procedure must be repeated exactly the same on all four legs.
Final clip needs to be placed just above the feet on all four legs – this will later be used for further
stabilisation using the sandbags.
