EXTENDING AND COLLAPSING POLES
To extend or collapse the poles, simply open
the lock of a section and adjust that pole
section to the desired length. Once set, close the lock and
that will hold the section in place. When extending the
pole sections, do not extend past the "Stop" mark. The "Stop" mark should not be showing or it
will cause the pole to be susceptible to breaking.
To set the length of the poles for your height, extend the bottom
section just to the "Stop" mark, leaving the "Stop" mark hidden
just inside the pole. Next, extend the middle section so that when you hold
the pole to your side, as if you were hiking, your arm is bent at a ninety degree
angle. The middle section is marked in centimeters so you can take note of your setting and use
that to quickly set the pole length in the future. For hiking uphill any great distance, adjust the
poles to be a little shorter. For hiking downhill, adjust the poles to be a little longer.
ADJUSTING THE LOCK TENSION
If a lock seems too easy or too difficult to close, with the lock in
the open position, increase the lock tension by turning the tension
screw clockwise or decrease the tension by turning it counterclockwise. Test
in ½ turn increments until satisfied. Do not over tighten. Check lock tension
before every use to prevent loss on the trail.
add surface area which helps prevent the pole from sinking too deep in the snow or mud. When
attaching a basket, push the basket onto the threads with enough force to contact the threads while
turning clockwise. Do not overtighten.
