3.6 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 throughout the length of the tube. (See
Fig.14 - the End Stop is inside the end of the
mating part).
NOTE: Do not make the sliding action too stiff as it will stiffen up more once the Rubber Bung is replaced.
3.7 Continue by reassembling End Stop into next consecutive section and following steps 3.5 & 3.6, until the
whole pole has been reassembled.
3.8 Replace Rubber Bung - check again that the slide action is smooth for each section.
3.9 If a section feels tight or gritty readjustment maybe required - wipe clean and follow steps 3.5 & 3.6.
