Congratulations on purchasing an X-STAGE/X-STAGE LITE. They
represent a revolution in portable/free-standing podium stages and have
been designed for portability, ease-of-use and high stability. They are the
world’s first collapsible circular stages and feature both ‘Static’ and ‘Spinning’
modes as standard. The team at X-POLE have spent a significant amount
of time researching, designing and developing the X-STAGE. We want the
X-STAGE to be the world’s leading Exercise and Dance Podium, 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.
Welcome
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 assembled 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 pole it is mandatory to warm up and, after use,
cool down.
It is highly recommended that before you use your X-STAGE/X-STAGE LITE you review some online videos 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. The X-STAGE is designed for use by a single person.
Have fun with your X-POLE X-STAGE / X-STAGE LITE. The X-POLE Team.
Before using your pole
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. For pole clothing visit
WWW.XPOLE.COM and select your region and look for the active range.
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. We recommend X-DRY, visit WWW.XPOLE.COM to purchase

Contents - Carry Case
Start by unzipping the Main Frame Carry Case that
contains the Main Stage Frame. This is secured with
Velcro straps inside the carry case on a metal support
sub-chassis. This carry case also incorporates the
Sub-Chassis, Handle Bar, Wheels, Side Skirts (X-Stage
only), along with the hex screws and hex keys to
secure them.
First, remove the Velcro straps securing the Main Stage
Frame to the Sub-Chassis. Stand with your feet either
side of the Carry Case, bending your knees slightly and
keeping your back straight. Position your hands either
side of the Main Stage Frame as shown and carefully lift
it and slide out of the Main Frame Carry Case, placing it
to either the left or right side of the Carry Case for now.

CAUTION: The Main Stage Frame is the heaviest single component of the X-Stage/X-Stage Lite,
so care must be taken not to injure yourself when removing or handling. Please ensure your
knees are slightly bent and your back is straight when lifting.
TIP: Note how the velcro straps attach and which way round the Main Stage Frame is positioned
for when you eventually come to pack this away. Take a photo for reference. Putting the Main
Stage Frame back into its Carry Case and securing it to the Sub-Chassis is the reverse of the
removal procedure.

Finding a suitable area to dance/exercise
To use the X-Stage/X-Stage Lite properly and safely, you need to be able to fully rotate around the pole with your arms
outstretched and NOT be able to touch/hit anything whilst doing so (Fig.6.1). This will require an area greater than the
diameter of the stage itself all around the stage. Therefore, the required area should be a minimum of 3m in diameter.

Before assembly you should measure the ceiling height where you intend setting up your X-Stage/X-Stage Lite.
This is to ensure that the X-Stage/X-Stage Lite will fit into your chosen space.
A key point with any pole is to get the maximum height of workable (usable) pole. The X-Stage/X-Stage Lite is
supplied with an overall height of 3m (10'). This is called the 'Standard Format'. The usable pole height for the
X-Stage and X-Stage Lite is 2.68m (8'.8") and 2.89m (9'.5") respectively, when standing on the stage floor.
However, you need to allow for an additional 125mm (4.9") to enable the 'B' Pole to be attached to the 'A' Pole, as this is
the depth of the protruding X-Joint. Therefore, a 'Standard Format' X-Stage or X-Stage Lite, will require an overall ceiling
height of 3.2m (10.5') or higher. If the ceiling height is lower - shorter extensions can be purchased to use in place of the
B-Pole provided.

Assembly of main stage frame
The Main Stage Frame is built up of 6 frame legs that fan out to form a star structure. Position the Main Stage Frame in
the centre of the dance/exercise area; ensure the assembly is the correct way up (Fig.8.1). Locate the fixed frame leg, this
is the leg that is secured by a cap hex screw to the main frame. Fan out from the fixed leg, as you fan out the base will
start to form a star shape, lift each frame leg so that it does not drag on the floor (Fig.8.2).

TIP: The legs fan out from the fixed frame leg clockwise or anti/counter-clockwise, it does not
matter which direction you choose. However, when dismantling, the moving frame legs should
always be folded back towards the fixed frame leg.
Fitting the floor plates
CAUTION: Be sure to remove all packaging material from the Floor Plates before you attempt to
fit them to the Main Stage Frame.
If you examine one of the Floor Plates, you will see that there are two Spring Catches on its underside, located at each
corner of the longer curved surface. Test the operation of the Spring Catches (Fig.9.1) before assembling to the Main
Stage Frame.
Lay the stage plate down on its face, the spring catch arm should be flat against the plate (Fig 9.1) Pull the end of the arm
upwards to a vertical position and the catch pin will automatically pop out of the floor plate. Each spring catch is spring
loaded so that when you release it (turn it through 90 degrees) To disengage, pull the catch arm inwards and rotate flat
against the plate.
This is a safety feature to ensure that the Spring Catches do not accidentally retract in use, releasing the Floor Plates.
The Spring Catches insert into the Floor Plate Locating Pin Holes (Fig.9.2) – together these are designed to secure each
floor plate to the Main Stage Frame. Once you have tested these, pull the spring catch back and return flat to the base
to reset. Make sure that the pins are now flush to the edge of the inner floor plate. These are now ready to install onto the
main frame.

Important: You must always start at the fixed frame leg
and continue in the same direction.
To fit a Floor Plate, position the end with the smallest curve
towards the Main Stage Frame, with the left edge over the
fixed frame leg (the one secured with a hex screw to the
base plate). The smaller end of the Floor Plate will slide
under the Upper Centre Plate (Fig.9.3).
Whilst retracting the spring catch with one finger lower
the other end of the Floor Plate onto the locating pin on
the Fixed Frame Leg. Ensure the pin is inserted into the
hole in the floor plate. If the pin does not engage, make
sure the frame leg is pressed tightly against the edge of
the plate and is parallel - now release the Spring Catch.
Now position the next Frame Leg so that its Locating Pin
lines up with the Locating Pin Hole on the Floor Plate,
lower the Floor Plate into position and release the spring
catch.
Fig. (9.3) Fig. (9.4)
TIP: For the first few installations it may be necessary to stand on the outer edge of the floor
plate to allow the Spring Catch pins to engage.
Continue to fit the remaining Floor Plates in the same
way, securing each with its Spring Catches before
moving onto the next. Once the plate is in place, if it
does not completely engage, remember to stand on
the edge of the Floor Plate and exert force. To check
whether the plates are secure, try lifting them out of
place – if correctly installed, they will not disengage.
You have now completed the Main Frame assembly.
To disassemble the Floor Plates reverse the assembly
procedure. Make sure you pull in the spring catches and
rotate them until the pin arms are flat against the floor
plate when removing.
Fig. (9.5) Fig. (9.6)
CAUTION: As each Floor Plate is quite heavy, please take extra care when lowering them into
position and take adequate steps to ensure that you do not injure yourself when doing so. When
fitting, keep your back straight and your knees slightly bent at all times.
TIP: We recommend you keep all packaging material contained inside the Floor Plate carry cases
so that you can better protect the Floor Plates in transit.
Note: Refer to Fig (9.3) to ensure that
the front of the floor plate is securely
inserted under the upper centre plate.

The Bearing Unit must be treated with great care and steps should be taken to ensure it is not dropped or knocked.
Remove the band securing the bearing unit, while holding the unit in place and making sure it does not slide down the
pole. It is important to understand the Bearing Unit’s operation as this will help when assembling and disassembling the
pole. The Bearing Unit has two sections; an upper angled section (Cone) with 3x M8 hex screws and a lower flat section
(Bearing Body) which has a slot for positioning the bearing unit in the main frame.
Fig. (10.1)
The Pole is made of four parts, the 'A' Pole, a Bearing Unit that attaches to it, the 'B' Pole and an X-Joint (Fig.10.1). The
'A' and 'B' poles are connected using the X-Joint.

screws are used to adjust the pole’s position in the Main
Stage Frame assembly. The lower flat section bearing
body is the part that inserts into the stage’s Bearing
Carrier on the Upper Centre Plate and also supports the
pole. This section includes 2x M10 hex screws which set
the 'Static/Spinning' modes of the X-Stage/X-Stage Lite.
When these 2x hex screws are tightened it is in 'Static'
mode. When the hex screws are loosened, the pole is in
‘Spinning’ mode (Fig.10.3).

When you open your stage pole set – the pole tube
('A' POLE), that goes into the stage base, will already
have the 'bearing unit' (Fig.11.1) attached to the pole. It
will NOT be locked in position. An elastic rubber band will
be on the bearing to hold this in place. Please remove the
elastic rubber band, this will allow the bearing unit to
move freely. Take care it does not drop off the pole tube.
Next, look inside the Bearing Carrier Ring on the stage
top plate and you will see a pin sticking out. Look at
the Bearing unit on the pole and you will see a slot. The
pin on the Bearing carrier engages into the slot on the

the stage base ensuring the bottom of the pole is firmly
seated in the bearing at the bottom of the main stage
frame base (Fig 11.5).
Whilst inserting the 'A' Pole and Bearing Unit into the
Main Stage Frame, you must keep the pole as upright
and vertical as possible so that it locates correctly into
the lower bearing in the main stage frame. Slide the
bearing unit down the pole into the carrier ensuring the
slot locates over the locating screw.
When the pole is
engaged correctly,
the pole will not have
as much movement

The X-STAGE includes the very latest in pole joint technology, the X-Joint. This joint is simple, easy to use, very strong and
stable. Just follow these simple operational instructions to ensure the joint is properly locked.
Fig. (12.1)
The X-Joint expands and locks the pole tubes together. The joint expansion is done by inserting the hex key, through
holes in the pole tubes into the hex screws and turning the key clockwise.
The markings on the tube show the direction to turn the hex key. Clockwise to expand/tighten and Anti/ Counter-
Clockwise to contract/loosen. It is very important to remember this as when the tubes are in the pole these markings are
covered and cannot be seen.

Using the X-Joint to install the pole tubes
At the top of the 'A' Pole, you will see a hole on the outside and two U slots on the inside of the pole. To install the X-Joint
simply slide one half into the A-Pole, ensuring the 2 x keys on the joint locate fully into the corresponding U slots in the tube.
The slots stop the tube rotating. When inserting the X-Joint make sure that the large locking screw on the X-Joint aligns with
the hex key hole in the pole tube otherwise you will not be able to insert the hex key. DO NOT TIGHTEN/EXPAND NOW.
Fig. (13.1) Fig. (13.2)
Next, take the 'B' Pole and slide it onto the X-Joint, checking the 'A' and 'B' Poles butt together. Take care to ensure that
the hole in the 'B' Pole is positioned in line with the X-Joint’s hex screw. Once properly joined, there should be a smooth
transition between the 'A' and 'B' Poles. Now that the Poles are joined, you can begin to 'TIGHTEN' the X-Joint, ½ a turn
at a time, alternating between the hex screw in the 'A' Pole, then the 'B' Pole, until the X-Joint has sufficiently expanded
and locked the two poles securely together.
Fig. (13.3) Fig. (13.4)
It is important to tighten the locking screws
progressively, alternating the screws, top > bottom > top
etc. so that the joint expands evenly, otherwise one side
will not expand fully and the pole tube joints will not lock
correctly.
To undo the X-Joint - turn both hex screws ‘anti/
counter-clockwise’. Undo screws until the Hex Key
moves freely and remove the X-JOINT.

Screw Adjuster extended
Screw Adjuster retracted
Uneven surface
Using the stabilising adjuster feet
At the end of each of the 6 frame legs there is an adjuster wheel to adjust the foot height. Screw the adjuster wheel
clockwise to extend and counter-clockwise to retract. The adjuster feet have silicone pads that help prevent them slipping
on floor surfaces.
The adjuster feet are there to level out uneven floors and to tension the stage, reducing pole movement. The adjuster
wheels feet must be tensioned in all instances, as this will ensure that your stage has minimum movement. Once the
stage has been assembled, lift each frame leg slightly, so that you can easily rotate the adjuster wheel.
Lower the foot by approximately 5mm (Fig. 14.1) do this for all six feet. Apply pressure to the pole in several directions
to see whether there is any movement - if the stage rises on one side, screw the wheel further. Once there is minimum
movement and the entire stage feels level and solid - all feet have been stabilised correctly.
Fig. (14.1) Fig. (14.2)
Additional accessories
The X-Stage and X-Stage Lite are very stable in their standard format with the feet correctly adjusted. However, if you
intend to perform more advanced moves or wish to use the stage for a performance, or with an X-POLE Lyra pole,
additional weights are mandatory. These can be purchased from www.XPOLE.com.
Fig. (15.1)
Place the Weight Plate over the frame legs (Fig.15.2). Once the weight plates are in situ, place optional sandbags or standard
gym weights (10kg-30kg per section) onto the plate (Fig.15.3). Sandbags can be purchased from WWW.XPOLE.COM

This product has been manufactured and tested to the highest quality standards by X-POLE. This Limited Warranty offered by X-POLE
covers defects in material or workmanship in new X-POLE products for a period of 6 months.
This warranty extends to the original purchaser only and is non-transferable. Only consumers purchasing X-POLE products from authorised X-POLE
retailers or resellers or through the X-POLE website may obtain coverage under our limited warranties.
What is covered?
X-POLE warrants this product against defects in material or workmanship as follows:
X-POLE, at its own discretion, will replace at no charge, for parts only, replace any product or part of the product that proves defective because of
improper workmanship and/or material, under normal installation, use, service and maintenance. If X-POLE is unable to provide a replacement and repair
is not practical or cannot be made in a timely fashion, X-POLE may elect to refund the purchase price in exchange for the return of the product.
How Long Does The Coverage Last?
Our warranty periods are 6 MONTHS from the documented date of purchase, depending on the type of product and where it was purchased. This does
not affect your statutory rights.
What Our Warranty Does Not Cover?
Our warranties do not cover any problem that is caused by:
A. Conditions, malfunctions or damage not resulting from defects in material or workmanship.
B. Conditions, malfunctions or damage resulting from (1) normal wear and tear, improper installation, improper maintenance, misuse, abuse, negligence,
accident or alteration.
C. Accessories, connected materials and products, or related products not manufactured by X-POLE.
D. Defects from use, wear and tear, chipped edges from pole to pole contact or being dropped and anything outside of a pure manufacturing defect are
not covered.
Due to the high specification mirror finish, small tube surface blemishes or stress lines may be visible. These do not detract away from
the quality of use of the pole and are only cosmetic issues.
POWDER COATED POLES ONLY: The Powder Coating is susceptible to damage if the pole is dropped or scratched in any way. When
installing X-Joints/adding extensions, be careful not to damage the powder coating. DO NOT USE CHEMICAL BASED CLEANERS ON
POWDER COATED POLES.
