How does X-Poles X-Joint work?
X-POLES use a revolutionary joint called the X-Joint that expands inside the pole tubes to lock them together and stops
them from coming apart/separating. To optimise the X-Joint’s key features and ensure correct operation, it is important that
you carefully follow these instructions.
X-JOINT OPERATION:
PLEASE NOTE: ANTI-CLOCKWISE = COUNTER CLOCKWISE
There are 3 sizes of X-Joints; 180mm (7"), 200mm
(8") & 250mm (10"). The XPERT Pro is supplied with:
The 180mm (7") X-Joint has one half longer than the
other & is marked with an arrow (on the shorter end),
when used, this must be installed at the top of the
pole with the arrow pointing upwards.

The X-Joint features a special mechanism which
expands/contracts to lock/loosen the pole tubes
together. Please test this prior to assembly.
The Joint expansion is done by FULLY inserting the

(with black plastic cover) into the pole
tube & rotating clockwise.
40mm:
1 x 200mm (8")
2 x 250mm (10")
45mm:
1 x 180mm (7")
2 x 200mm (8")
CAUTION: The 180mm X-Joint (200mm in the case of 40mm & silicone poles) should only be
used with the 125mm extension.

TIP: Before pole installation test the operation of
the X-Joint on its own and then with 2 x Extension
Tubes. It is better to gently/ loosely tighten the
X-Joints and then undo and firmly re-tighten them
when the pole is in place, as when the pole is
vertical, the weight/pressure of the pole tubes
will push the joints tightly together.
