hardware is tightened too soon, mounting holes may not
align and parts may not fit together. Leave locknuts
slightly loose until you are instructed to tighten them.

starting to put up your pole. Then read each
step completely before beginning that step.
Some smaller parts may be
shipped inside larger tubes.
Check inside tubes before
assembling or ordering parts.

the correct pole sections. Once sections are
seated together, you will NOT be able to pull

two lower pole sections (#2) 4¼ inches from their top
(tapered) end. (See Figure 1)
2. Insert one lower pole section (#2) into the flanged
end of the other lower pole section (#2) snugly.
Pound the poles on a piece of wood to secure. Hit
the poles until there is no more movement or until
the bottom end of the upper and middle poles
reaches the 4¼ inch mark on the middle and lower
poles respectively. Hit tubes a minimum of seven

hardware. NOTE: You may have to turn poles
upside down and pound top to completly seat.
