1.2 Remove End Stops from the bottom of each section. To do this
insert a small screw driver (or suitable tool) through the cross holes
and unscrew (see
Fig.2 ).
Once the End Stops have been removed, slide the knurled
Thimble, slotted Bush & small shoulder Bush to the top end
of the pole to prevent them from sliding off the end.
NOTE: If the poles are old, the End Stops can seize in the Inserts and
they will then need to be machined out prior to the new End Stops
being fitted. This is an operation best carried out by our skilled staff.
1.3 Starting with the tip section, replace the End Stop. To do this tighten by hand and then insert a small
screw driver (or suitable tool) through the cross holes & lock up as tight as possible (see Fig.2 ).
NOTE: We recommend using a pin point drop of Loctite 222 on the last thread of the End Stop during
re-assembly, this stops it accidentally undoing during normal usage.
1.4 Wipe a small amount of silicon fluid over tip section & slide into mating part. Put a small amount of
lithium grease on the threaded end of the mating section and screw together with Thimble on tip section;
lock up then undo ¼ of a turn.
1.5 Using a 4mm (5/32”) or 4.8mm (3/16”) Allen key, (depending
on age of pole) tighten grub screw by ¼ of a turn at a time; test the
sliding action with the mating section between each ¼ turn until a
nice smooth sliding action is achieved through the length of the
tube. (see
Fig.3 - the End Stop is inside the end of mating part).
NOTE: Do not make sliding action too stiff as it will stiffen
up more once the Rubber Bung is replaced.
To carry out the service below we recommend customers use the Panamic Maintenance Kit (Part Code: 53-5850)
which contains: Lithium Grease, Silicon Fluid and Allen Keys.
1.1 Undo knurled Thimble on each section and remove from mating section (see Fig.1 ) remove Rubber Bung
from handle section.
NOTE: Rubber Bungs on Panamic poles 53-5801 & 53-5802 unscrew. All other poles have pull off Bungs.
