How to Use Your Flagpole
To Raise the Pole
Pull each section up slowly until automatically locked, starting from the top inner section.
To Lower the Pole
CAUTION: Hold on to the section to be lowered. Press the locking button (see Figure 1) to release, and allow the section to slide down slowly through your hands.
To Secure each Section in the Extended Position with the Optional Childproof Lock
1. A small bag that contains the "childproof" Allen screw locks for the section bushings and ground sleeve collar, as well as a 5/64" Allen wrench is included with each flagpole. Install one short "childproof" Allen screw lock in the threaded hole of each top bushing of every pole section.
2. Using the Allen wrench supplied, turn the screw lock 3 complete turns to secure the desired position. Do NOT overturn. (See Figure 1)
CAUTION: Before releasing the push button to lower each section, unlock the Allen screw so the head of the screw is flush with the outside edge of the bushing. Failure to do so could result in the pole being scratched.
To Secure the Pole to the Ground Sleeve
1. Align the drilled hole in the pole with the Allen locking screw lock in the locking collar.
2. Using the Allen wrench supplied, turn the screw lock 4 complete turns to secure the collar to the pole. Do NOT overturn. (See Figure 2).
CAUTION: Do Not Use Any Silicone Lubricants
