POLE MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Schedule:
Keep the pole as clean as possible at all times. Wiping the pole hose after
each use will reduce the amount of dirt entering the pole. A wipe with a
cloth as you are coiling the hose away is sufficient.
Hose the pole down once a week or after working in gritty or sandy envi-
ronments. To do this, either hose up from the base of the pole with all
clamps open or undo clamp bolts until loose and slide sections apart to
clean between the sections.
Servicing Schedule:
In addition to the above schedule we would recommend fully taking apart
the pole every 2
-
3 months to clean and service. Undoing the clamps
bolts until loose will allow the sections to slide apart.
Whilst apart, clean and dry all sections and check and replace, if needed,
the stop
-
indicator tape and the wrap of tape at the base of each section.
Failure to replace missing or worn joint indicator tape will accelerate
wear and invalidate any warranty on the pole.
Additionally, a spray of dry
-
film PTFE spray over the overlap area will im-
prove the life of the pole. DO NOT USE OIL
-
BASED LUBRICANTS SUCH AS
WD
-
40 or GT
-
85
The clamps are fitted with Delrin shims between the lever cam and the
clamp body. The shims are designed to take most of the wear during
use. Check these periodically for wear and replace when needed.
