A3.
Unpack the cover sleeve (4). The cover sleeve has two
end pieces - remove the solid steel socket (5). Next slide the
cover sleeve onto the bottom of the pole (2) as shown in figure
A2, with the remaining grey plastic bushing (6) at the top.
A4.
Remove the rubber O-ring (7) from its bag, and stretch it
to fit onto the bottom of the pole (2), leaving it a few inches up
from the bottom of the pole as shown in figure A2. The cover
sleeve (4) can now slide down to rest on this O-ring while the
pole is being raised.
A5.
Place the circular
base (8) on the floor at
the intended location of
the SuperPole. Place
the steel socket (5) on
top of the base so that it
seats into the central
hole of the circular
base. You are now
ready to raise the
SuperPole assembly.
A6.
Raising the Pole - The SuperPole is most easily raised by
holding the pole up at an angle, inserting the bottom of the
extension screw into the metal socket (5) on the circular base
(8), and then pivoting the pole up above the socket as shown in
figure A4.
to prepare, set the extension screw such that
the distance from the top of the ceiling anchor plate (1) to the
bottom of the extension screw is about two inches less than the
actual floor to ceiling height. You may need to unscrew the jam
nut downward to allow the extension screw to rotate.

.
Set the SuperPole to a true
vertical position. This may be
facilitated using a construction
level, plumb bob, or by visually
comparing the pole with other
vertical line features in the room
such as wall corners, etc.
It is easier to swing the
pole up from one of the sides of
the anchor plate as shown in
figure A4. If the anchor plate hits
the ceiling prior to reaching
vertical you will need to shorten
the length of the extension screw.
HINT -
A8.
Tightening the pole - while the cover sleeve is held up by the
O-ring , insert a bar such as the shaft of a screwdriver, through the
drive hole of the extension screw. Turn the extension screw
(clockwise) as shown in figure A5 to make the anchor plate contact
the ceiling.
- The anchor plate must be made to
contact the ceiling squarely. This can be facilitated by having a
second person hold the pole exactly vertical while turning the
extension screw. Continue turning the extension screw until the
anchor plate contacts the ceiling squarely. From this point
continue to turn the extension screw approximately two to five
turns until the SuperPole is secure and ready for testing in step A9.
IMPORTANT
A9.
Testing installation -
test the
SuperPole by firmly holding onto the
pole at mid-height and rigorously
attempting to force the pole from side
to side. If either the base, or the
anchor plate appear to slide or shift,
tighten the extension screw one more
turn and repeat the test until the pole
will not move during this test.
A10.
IMPORTANT
-
Lock
extension screw after installing
pole by turning jam nut up until
touching the bottom of the pole,
then, simultaneously turning jam
nut and extension screw
backwards until jammed tight as
shown in steps 1 & 2 of figure A6.
When finally tight, remove the
turning rod, slide down the O-ring
(it stores on top of the metal
socket), and move the cover
sleeve down onto the metal
socket. Your SuperPole is now
installed.

A1.
Unpack the ceiling anchor plate (1) from the rectangular
box, and the pole assembly (2) from the cardboard tube
(remove staples to avoid scratching the pole). Remove the
locking pin (3) from the pole receptacle in the center of the
anchor plate.
Prior to installing the SuperPole System, we strongly
recommend that you first read through these instructions. We
would also recommend that you set aside a space on the floor
or a table to prepare the SuperPole System prior to raising the
pole for final installation.
A2.
Slide the top end of the pole (2) onto the receptacle of the
ceiling anchor plate (1) as shown in figure A1. Set the pole so
that the locking pin holes of the pole and the receptacle align.
At this point re-insert the locking pin (3) removed in step A1.
