3.0 ADJUSTING END STOPS TO REDUCE HANDLING NOISE
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.
3.1
Undo knurled Thimble on each section and remove from mating section (see
Fig.12
).
Remove the Rubber Bung from handle section.
NOTE: Rubber Bungs on Panamic poles 53-5801 & 53-5802 unscrew. All other poles have pull off Bungs.
3.2
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.13
). Once the End Stops have been removed, slide
the knurled Thimble, slotted Bush and 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 that is best carried out by our skilled staff.
3.3
Remove all grub screws from the bottom of End Stops using a 4mm (5/32”) Allen key. Put a small
amount of lithium grease on thread of Grub Screw and screw back into End Stop about ½ of its length, leav-
ing the rest for adjustment.
3.4
Starting with the tip section replace End Stop into the bottom of this section.
3.5
Wipe a small amount of silicon fluid over tip section and slide into mating part. Put a small amount of
lithium grease on the Thread End of mating section & screw together with Thimble on tip section; lock up
then undo ¼ of a turn.
