Handy hints for use
• Wear gloves in cold weather.
• Ensure that you consume enough liquid when undertaking long walks.
It may be worth investing in either a drink rucksack or a drink belt.
• Wear clothing appropriate for the weather.
Composite support for asphalt pad & plate
You can store the asphalt pad and the trekking-pole plate in the com-
posite support. The asphalt pad should be used on stony, hard ground,
and the trekking-pole plate should be used on soft ground to prevent the
trekking-pole from sinking in too deep.
You may also remove the composite support. Pull the red elastic ring from
its flap out of the fixture guide. The fixture can then be pulled off of the
pole.
In order to replace the combination fixture, place onto the pole once
again and bind the rubber ring around the pole, then placing it in the
fixture guide in the composite fixture.
Stretching and warming up
Always warm up and stretch extensively before hiking (see Fig. M-P).
• Fig. M: Front Thigh Muscles
Pull your foot up in the direction of your posterior.
• Fig. N: Rear Lower Leg Muscles
Press your rear heel to the ground and angle your body forwards.
• Fig. O: Inner Hip Muscles
Push your pelvis in an obliquely downward direction.
• Fig. P: Calf Muscles
Lift your heels several times and place them on the ground again.
Care and cleaning
Clean the trekking poles with a cloth soaked in lukewarm or soapy water.
Do not attempt to clean the poles using detergent or abrasive cleaning
agents. These may permanently damage the plastic parts and printed
marks.
Storage and transport
Do not leave the trekking poles exposed to direct sunlight or excessive
temperatures as this could cause cracks to appear, causing them to
disintegrate, reducing their lifespan and drastically reducing their use.
Store the trekking poles in a dry place. Dry wet poles with a cloth before
collapsing to prevent rust. Always attach the rubber bumpers to the tips
when transporting the poles.
