The X-STAGE includes the very latest in pole joint technology, the X-Joint. This joint is simple, easy to use, very strong and
stable. Just follow these simple operational instructions to ensure the joint is properly locked.
Fig. (12.1)
The X-Joint expands and locks the pole tubes together. The joint expansion is done by inserting the hex key, through
holes in the pole tubes into the hex screws and turning the key clockwise.
The markings on the tube show the direction to turn the hex key. Clockwise to expand/tighten and Anti/ Counter-
Clockwise to contract/loosen. It is very important to remember this as when the tubes are in the pole these markings are
covered and cannot be seen.

At the centre on either side of the joint is a Key. This Key slots into corresponding rounded slots at the ends of the pole
tubes. These slots must go over the keys. The keys stop the pole tubes from rotating.
