Greasing combats oxidisation of parts and over time facilitates the extraction and insertion of the cartridge bearing from and into the tube for ordinary maintenance (e.g., cleaning and greasing bearings) and extraordinary maintenance (e.g. substitution of worn bearings). As a consequence, this step is extremely important.

Drill a hole in the chosen position with a diamond hollow drill or core drill of 150 mm (6 inches = 152.4 mm) in diameter.
The hole must be 150 mm in diameter and 130 mm deep.
It is presumed that the floor is perfectly flat and that the finished hole is at right angles to the floor.

REMEMBER:
In the event of an uneven and unstable gravel foundation: DO NOT PROCEED without stabilising!
Foundation well stabilised with resin or cement: CONTINUE with the following steps.

Drill a hole in the chosen position with a diamond hollow drill or core drill of 150 mm (6 inches = 152.4 mm) in diameter.
The hole must be 150 mm in diameter, and the depth must be 130 mm plus the thickness of the cap (calculate the overall depth carefully).
The cap must be 82 mm in diameter, equal to the cartridge, or 150 cm, equal to the hole.
It is presumed that the floor is perfectly flat and that the finished hole is at right angles to the floor.
The cap will hide the cartridge from sight and avoid tripping when the equipment is not in use.

REMEMBER:
In the event of an uneven and unstable gravel foundation: DO NOT PROCEED without stabilising!
Foundation well stabilised with resin or cement: CONTINUE with the following steps.

- Fine binding element.
- Chemical anchoring element in cartridge form.
- Two-part epoxy resin.

Make sure before fitting the tube in place that the content of the cartridge/bottle/bag of chosen element is sufficient to complete the operation.

Furthermore, assess the hardening time required for the chosen product and the maximum thickness of coating recommended by the manufacturer, and carry out the following steps accordingly.

It is fundamental that the product used to fill the hole does not in any way enter the cartridge or the tube. In order to avoid this happening, thus avoiding any consequential damage to the product, it is necessary to carefully seal the upper end of the tube with sealing tape before pouring the product into the hole.
The bottom end of the tube is already sealed and requires no further intervention.

This operation is extremely important. If the cartridge is crooked when fitted it will not be possible to remove it and straighten it.

Insert the housing tube into the hole and screw it into the floor using the washers and screws. The screws are necessary to keep the housing tube still and in position while the fixing product is poured into the outside area.

The housing tube must be installed perfectly straight, otherwise the pole will not turn properly and problems with installation will be experienced.

Check that the tube is upright in all directions.

Pour in the fixing agent (or epoxy resin, recommended in the event that ground is not solid).
The fixing agent must be poured outside of the housing tube, paying attention that no fixing agent enters the cartridge.

Fill the hole up to the lip of the cartridge with fixing agent and allow it to harden completely.

Before proceeding, make sure that the fixing agent has hardened completely.

1° Remove the tape from the top of the housing tube.
2° Grip the cartridge bearing via the M5 screws and insert it into the housing tube, positioning it correctly by aligning the holes.
3° When the holes are aligned, unscrew the M5 screws and remove them completely.

6.1 Cleaning the pole
GeckoGrip Pole: plain alcohol (preferably isopropyl) on a microfibre cloth.
Stainless Steel Pole: water and ammonia (5%) on a microfibre cloth.
Ultragrip2 Pole: MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) on a lint-free cotton cloth
While cleaning use personal protective equipment. It is advisable to ventilate the area after cleaning the pole.
6.2 Lubricating the bearings
The operation can be carried out in complete autonomy (write to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for video instructions).
The frequency of lubrication depends on the frequency of use of the pole and the level of cleanliness of the area. If no particular requirement emerges and the pole is used occasionally, yearly lubricating is necessary. In the event of more intense use, contact our Technical Support Service.

7.1 The necessary tools for assembly, installation and dismantling are provided with the pole. Before using alternative tools on the pole, contact the Technical Support Service in order to ensure that they are suitable.
7.2 Throughout assembly, installation and dismantling of the product, always pay the utmost attention and follow the instructions.
7.3 If in doubt, contact the Support Service at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
7.4 Do not allow the product to be used, installed or handled by unaccompanied unauthorised persons or minors.
7.5 As the product is an item of sports equipment, it must be used by competent and trained persons.
7.6 Do not attempt movements you are unaccustomed to without supervision.
7.7 Use suitable protection and certified matting.
7.8 Pay attention not to allow water to enter the cartridge when cleaning the floor.
