Thank you for buying an XPERT Pole. The team at X-POLE have spent a significant amount of time
researching, designing and developing the XPERT Pole. We want the XPERT pole to be the world’s leading
Exercise and Dance Pole, 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 POLE
Mis-using a pole can be dangerous, not only to the user but also to anyone close to the pole. The use of a
dance pole is always at the user’s discretion, and it is the user’s responsibility to check the pole is installed
correctly & safely before use.
Pole 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 X-POLE XPERT it is mandatory
to warm up and, after use, cool down.
It is highly recommended that before you use your XPERT Pole you purchase a suitable DVD to learn the basic
moves. Never try moves beyond your ability without an instructor. If at any time whilst using your pole 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 X-POLE XPERT.
The X-POLE Team.
WHAT TO WEAR
Clothing
When it comes to clothing – less is best (unless you have purchased a Silicone Pole). So try to keep your arms
and legs uncovered. Pole work needs the friction created by skin contact, so T-Shirts, Crop Tops & Shorts
are best. However, you must feel comfortable so wear what you feel relaxed in (tracksuit bottoms, etc.) even
though this may mean you are unable to do some of the pole moves properly because of grip.
Footwear
Again comfort is essential. Bare feet (recommended), dance shoes, or trainers can be used but trainers have
high friction, so a trainer with a smooth as possible sole is recommended.
Oils and Lotions
NEVER use oils and/or lotion on your hands or body prior to using your pole. This is very DANGEROUS. The
oil can transfer onto the pole making it slippery and impossible to hold and this could cause you or someone
using the pole after you to have a serious accident.

CHECKING THE PARTS
Please check the contents of your XPERT pole with the contents diagram (Fig 1.1). If anything is missing or
damaged, please contact your point of purchase or call your local X-POLE office immediately (contact details
on the back page).
Please study the contents and the part descriptions in the diagram [Fig 1.1] as these are used throughout the
instruction manual and are important for installation. Please also try using the parts before assembling, it is
important that you understand how they work.
TIP: FOR TRANSPORT & DELIVERY THE X-Joints ARE INSTALLED INSIDE THE EXTENSIONS.
X-POLE XPERT HEIGHT CHART
Using the full allowed length (125mm/5”) of the Screw Adjuster (which adjusts the height of the pole) &
both supplied extensions (125mm/5” & 250mm/10”) will allow the XPERT to fit ceilings between the ranges of
2235mm (88”) to 2745mm (108”). If you have a ceiling which is higher than 2745mm (108”), you will need
to purchase additional/optional extensions from our website www.xpole.com (first select your region, then
search for the ‘Extensions’ section) or from your point of purchase.
The Screw Adjuster has the capability of extending the XPERT pole by 125mm (5”). With the Screw Adjuster
closed (contracted) you will be able to achieve a height of 2235mm (7’4”) & with it open (extended) using both
the supplied extensions, you will achieve a height of 2745mm (9’).
CAUTION: You should NEVER use more than 125mm (5”) of the Screw Adjuster.
TIP: Ceilings over 3.35m/11ft will require mounts or ceiling plates - please see pg.15. If you have
any doubts about the height you wish to reach, contact your local X-POLE office or Point of Purchase.

TIP: Joists can be located using an optional Joist/stud finder; this can be purchased from most
hardware stores.
NEXT: FINDING A SUITABLE DANCE AREA
Once a Joist is located, take a position measurement
from the wall for future reference. Write this
measurement here: X= _________________
Make sure that the measurement is taken at 90°
from the Joists.
Fig. [2.4]
To find a Joist above your ceiling, tap across the
ceiling with your knuckle until a solid sound is heard
– this will be the Joist. If you keep tapping across the
ceiling the sound will become hollow – the space
between the Joints.

LOCATING CEILING JOISTS:
CHOOSING THE BEST PLACE FOR YOUR X-POLE
Try to find a suitable area in the centre of your room, where you would like to install your pole.
Above this area, you will need to locate a ‘Joist’, please see instructions below on how to do this.
Soild Ceiling Single Joist Steel Girder
Upper Dome Upper Dome
B-Pole B-Pole
A-Pole A-Pole
Joists are beams of wood that run from wall to wall
and support your ceilings. The Upper Dome must be
centred under the Joist.
The XPERT POLE should be installed in the most
secure location possible, like under a solid ceiling –
if you do not have a solid ceiling, you will have to
locate a ‘Joist’ or ‘girder’ to install the upper dome
against.
1. 2.

Now you have found a suitable exercise area & the ideal spot for the installation of your pole.
Measuring the Height of the Ceiling
Accurately measure the height of the ceiling at the point
of use and match the ceiling height to the pole height
on the chart [Fig 1.2]
TIP: If longer extensions are required (than those
supplied in the standard set), then a key point is to
minimise the number of extensions & Joints used
for a given height requirement; i.e. if the required
extension length is 500mm – it is better to use
[1 x 500mm extension & 1 x X-Joint] rather than
[2 x 250mm extensions & 2 x X-Joints].
FOR CEILING HEIGHTS OVER 3.35M/11FT, PLEASE REFER TO
PG.15. Fig. [4.1]

TIP: Measure a circle with a diameter (measured from one point of a circle across to another) of
approximately 3000 – 3500mm (120” – 138”) and locate your pole in the centre of the circle.

NEXT: HOW TO USE THE X-JOINT

HOW DOES X-POLE’S X-JOINT WORK?
X-POLES use a revolutionary joint called the X-Joint that expands inside the pole tubes to lock them together
and stops them from coming apart/separating. To optimise the X-Joint’s key features and ensure correct
operation, it is important that you carefully follow these instructions.
X-JOINT OPERATION: PLEASE NOTE: ANTI-CLOCKWISE = COUNTER CLOCKWISE
Copyright© Vertical Leisure LTD 2014 All rights reserved. Version: 1.01
There are 3 sizes of X-Joints; 180mm (7”), 200mm
(8”) & 250mm (10”).
The 180mm (7”) X-Joint has one half longer than
the other & is marked with an arrow (on the shorter
end), when used, this must be installed at the top
with the arrow pointing upwards.

TIP: Before pole installation test the
operation of the X-Joint on its own and
then on 2 x Extension Tubes. It is better to
loosely tighten the X-Joints and then undo
and firmly re-tighten them when the pole
is in place, as when vertical, the weight/
pressure of the pole tubes will push the
Joints tightly together.
CAUTION: The 180mm X-Joint
(200mm in the case of 40mm &
48mm poles) should only be used
with the 125mm extension.

Insert a 200mm X-Joint into the A-Pole ensuring
the keys locate into the U Slots and the expansion
screws line up with the holes on the pole tubes.
Next attach the B-Pole to the A-Pole with the X-Joint
ensuring the Keys engage with the U Keyway Slots.

NEXT: HOW TO ATTACH THE BASE TO THE A-POLE
Then, as required, keep adding X-Joints and Extensions to reach your desired height – minimising the number
of Joints and tubes by using optional longer extensions (available from our online shop; www.xpole.com - first
select your region, then search for ‘Extensions’) where possible.
These tubes are always installed together

INSTALLING XPERT
CAUTION: When assembled, the XPERT Pole is heavy and at full height, NOT easy to handle. It is
therefore MANDATORY/COMPULSORY that 2 people install the XPERT Pole – i.e. 2 people should lift
it into position and 1 person hold the pole while the other rotates/expands the height adjuster.
Make sure that the base of the pole is at the centre point of your dance area – as explained in ‘Finding a
suitable exercise & dance area’ [Fig 3.1-3.4] and under the selected Joist [Fig 2.4].

With one person holding the base, the other person
should slowly and carefully lift the pole, raising it
until it is vertical and under the Joist.

Once the Upper Dome is against the
ceiling and before it is tightened further,
make sure that the pole is vertical. Best
way to do this is using a ‘spirit-level’ (which
can be purchased from a local hardware
store) or visually align the pole with a door
or window frame.

If the pole is not vertical, move the base in the
required direction. DO NOT move the Upper Dome
which must be kept over the centre of the Joist at all
times.
Fig. [8.7]
It is critical that the Upper Dome is flat against the
ceiling/Joist. DO NOT expand the adjuster further
until the upper dome is flat against the ceiling/Joist.
If the Upper Dome is not flat, the plate could rotate,
and slip or damage the ceiling.
Fig. [8.6]
7. 8.
Tighten the XPERT pole until good positive pressure
is felt and the pole is firmly in place. DO NOT exert
too much pressure. Rock/Shake the pole to ensure it
does not move from its position. Now change pole
mode to ‘Spin’ (see Static & Spinning section on
pg.12), spin the pole gently with your hands, if the
pole rotates smoothly, your pole has been tightened
correctly. If the pole DOES NOT rotate smoothly,
it has been OVERTIGHTENED. In this instance, re-
tighten the Static/Spinning screws and loosen the
pole half-a-turn. Repeat until pole rotates smoothly.

TIP: If the floor is not solid (concrete), it helps, once the pole is tight, to have someone stand on the base and
then re-tighten. This compresses the floor and also makes it easier to rotate the pole.
Once the pole is tight, rotate the pole till the
Adjuster Cover Keyhole is in alignment with the
vertical line on the Adjuster. This will ensure that
the screws are on the flats. Now tighten the 3
Adjuster Locking Hex Screws tightly with a 5mm
Hex Key to lock the A-Pole.

STATIC & SPINNING
To change the pole mode from static to spinning –
undo the 2 x Static/Spin Hex screws at the bottom
of the pole, until they are flush with the pole - DO
NOT REMOVE COMPLETELY – the pole will now spin
freely.
To return to static, rotate the pole till one of the hex
screws is in alignment with the ‘X’ on the base plate
and FULLY tighten. Whilst tightening, gently rotate
the pole back and forth to help seat the screw. Now
fully tighten the other screw.

CLEANING YOU XPERT POLE
POLE MAINTENANCE & REMOVAL
Because the XPERT pole uses pressure to remain
in position. The pole tightness should be checked
regularly during use, ideally every 30 minutes.
If there is any movement, DO NOT USE, until
you have re-tightened. Always check the
X-Joints at the same time.
To take down the pole, undo the 3 x Hex Adjuster
Locking Screws (DO NOT completely remove the
screws). Then turn the pole clockwise to contract/
release the pole. Once the pole has been removed
from its position, the Upper Dome & Base can be
removed.

ACCESSORIES
TIP: When installing multi-piece poles over 3.35m/11ft, it is mandatory to install a Ceiling Plate or Ball Mount.
It is also strongly recommended not to use standard multi-piece poles and to use our ‘Competition Poles’ in
this scenario. Please contact your local X-POLE office, or your Point of Purchase for further details.
For ceiling heights over 3.35m/11ft, it is mandatory/compulsory to use a Ceiling Plate or Ball Mount.
Ceiling Plate
The Ceiling Plate is a permanent fixture which will
prevent any movement of the Upper Dome when
using multi-piece poles over 3.35m/11ft.
For further details please visit our website at www.
xpole.com or contact your Point of Purchase.
Ball Mount
The Ball Mount is a permanent fixture which will
prevent any movement of the complete pole when
using multi-piece poles over 3.35m/11ft. The Ball
Mount replaces the need for an Upper Dome.
For further details please visit our website at www.
xpole.com or contact your Point of Purchase.

ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE SECTION:
PLEASE NOTE: ANTI-CLOCKWISE = COUNTER CLOCKWISE
As damage can occur from the pressure used to keep the XPERT Pole in place, it is mandatory that
the pole is centred under one Joist. The better aligned the upper dome is under the centre of the
Joist and the more care taken in assembly and set-up, the less potential there is for damage.
Most plasterboard or plaster ceilings, will flex/compress with pressure. This means that the retaining
nails/pins/screws can be pushed out of the plasterboard when pressure is applied by the pole
adjuster. If this happens, just re-nail or re-tighten the fixing screws, fill and re-paint.
Dance moves can be performed by experienced dancers in a smaller space than recommended but
for beginners the above space is mandatory. Once you have located the correct sized clear area you
can look for the ceiling Joists above the area you have selected.
