To make the operation easier, insert one tab first. Then push the nut sideways and downwards until the second tab also goes in and the nut is correctly positioned in its housing.
If insertion is difficult, use pliers, not included.


4.1.2 INSERTING THE PIN


3° Insert the second O-ring into the remaining free groove, so that the pin is locked in position.
Check that both O-rings are correctly inserted in their grooves and that the pin cannot slide out.

N° 6 nut housing plates
N° 6 cage nuts
N° 6 adjustable threaded feet
1 pair of pliers (optional)
4.2.1 INSERTING THE PLATE

4.2.2 INSERTING THE CAGE NUT
Insert the cage nut into the central hole of the plate, keeping the tabs parallel to the width of the leg. As before, insert one tab first, then press the nut sideways and downwards until the second tab also goes in and the nut is correctly locked in its housing.
If necessary, use pliers (not included).

4.2.3 INSERTING THE FOOT


4.2.4 REPEAT THE OPERATION FOR 6 RISERS

4.3 ASSEMBLING THE LEGS ONTO THE CENTRAL SPIDER STRUCTURE
N° 1 central spider structure
N° 6 legs previously assembled
N° 12 M8x50 screws (the longer ones)
N° 6 self-locking nuts
N° 6 flanged nuts
N° 1 6 mm Allen key
N° 1 13 mm combination wrench
4.3.1 INSERTING THE LEG
2° Insert one leg into the housing of the central element of the structure, aligning the holes.

4.3.2 INSERTING AND TIGHTENING THE FIRST SCREW (WITH SELF-LOCKING NUT)
2° Screw a self-locking hex nut onto the free end of the screw and tighten fully using the 13 mm combination wrench and the 6 mm Allen key.


3° Once tightened, unscrew the nut by about 1/4 turn, so that the leg can fold correctly inwards when closing the structure.

4.3.3 REPEAT THE OPERATION FOR 6 LEGS
Repeat the operations described in points 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 for all six legs.
Once all 6 legs have been installed and screwed in, check that they close smoothly by folding them towards the inside of the structure. If the movement is not smooth enough, loosen or tighten the self-locking hex nuts. The legs must be screwed in so that their closing movement is guided (they must not close by themselves).

4.3.4 INSERTING AND TIGHTENING THE SECOND SCREW (WITH FLANGED NUT)
1° Insert one M8x50 screw into the innermost hole of the central element of the structure.
2° Screw a flanged hex nut onto the free end and tighten fully using the 13 mm combination wrench and the 6 mm Allen key.

N° 6 risers previously assembled
N° 12 M8x40 screws (the shorter ones)
N° 12 self-locking nuts
N° 1 6 mm Allen key

This operation can be carried out easily by one person. If preferred, it can also be carried out by two people to make assembly even easier: one person supports the structure while the other inserts and secures the risers.
4.4.1 LIFTING THE STRUCTURE ON ONE SIDE
Slightly lift the structure on one side, keeping it stable. The height must be sufficient to allow the riser to be inserted under the leg.

4.4.2 INSERTING THE RISER
1° Place the riser under the leg, with the foot facing the floor.
2° Insert the riser into the rectangular hole of the leg, aligning the holes.


4.4.3 TIGHTENING THE SCREWS
1° Insert two M8x40 screws through the aligned holes of the leg and the riser.
2° Screw a self-locking hex nut onto each screw and tighten using the 6 mm Allen key and the 13 mm combination wrench. Tighten the screws until the riser is firmly secured.



4.4.4 LIFTING AND INSERTING THE OPPOSITE RISERS
1° Carefully lower the side of the structure just completed, checking that both risers rest correctly on the floor.
2° Lift the opposite side of the structure.
3° Insert the risers into the two corresponding legs, following the procedure described in points 4.4.2 and 4.4.3.



4.4.5 ALL RISERS INSERTED
1° Repeat the operations described in points 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 for the last two risers, so that each of the six legs has its own riser installed.

Once all risers have been installed, check that:
- all six risers are correctly inserted;
- all screws and self-locking nuts are properly tightened;
- all feet rest firmly on the floor;
- the structure does not wobble.
If necessary, adjust the threaded feet to level the structure correctly (see point 5.4.)

5.2.4 POSITIONING THE 2ND WOODEN PANEL
2° Slide the triangle towards the centre of the podium, following the same procedure used for the first one, making sure that they fit together correctly.


5.2.5 REPEAT FOR 6 WOODEN PANELS

5.2.6 CENTRAL ALIGNMENT

5.2.7 INSERT AND TIGHTEN THE LOCKING SCREW RING

5.3 CHECKING THE CORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE PODIUM TOP
2° If the surface is not horizontal, adjust the inclination with the feet (see point 5.4).



In case of surfaces that are not perfectly even, install the podium in concave areas rather than convex areas. Check that the threads of the feet are not excessively exposed to avoid damage; if necessary, use shims for levelling.
WARNING!!! To move the podium, do not drag it, otherwise the feet may bend and become damaged. It must always be lifted by at least two people, one on each side.
6.0 INSERTING THE POLE INTO THE PODIUM TOP


THE PODIUM IS NOW ASSEMBLED

7.0 SWITCHING THE POLE FROM SPIN TO STATIC
7.1 SWITCHING THE POLE FROM SPIN TO STATIC WITH QUICKSPIN
To switch from SPIN pole to STATIC pole and vice versa, simply lower or raise the QuickSpin ring with one click.
STATIC POLE: lower the QuickSpin ring
SPIN POLE: raise the QuickSpin ring

Video how the QuickSpin system of the podium pole works
7.1.1 OPTIONAL FUNCTION: LOCKING THE QUICKSPIN IN SPIN OR STATIC POSITION
If you do not wish to lock the QuickSpin system, do not insert the steel-coloured cone-point grub screw.
For this optional function, use the steel-coloured cone-point grub screw and the 4 mm Allen key.
1° Locking QuickSpin in spin position: raise the QuickSpin ring, insert the steel-coloured grub screw into the hole on the ring and screw it in fully using the 4 mm Allen key. Unscrew and remove the grub screw to release QuickSpin.
2° Locking QuickSpin in static position: lower the QuickSpin ring, insert the steel-coloured grub screw into the hole on the ring and screw it in fully using the 4 mm Allen key. Unscrew and remove the grub screw to release QuickSpin.

Video how to lock QuickSpin in Spin or Static position
7.3 WARNING NEVER TOUCH THE SLOTTED SCREW
This screw adjusts the operation of the QuickSpin system and is set during pole production. If this screw is tampered with, the QuickSpin system will no longer remain in spin position and you will need to contact technical support.

8.0 DISASSEMBLING THE PODIUM
8.1 REMOVING THE POLE FROM THE PODIUM STRUCTURE

8.1.1 SEPARATING THE TWO POLE SECTIONS
1° Using the 5 mm Allen key, unscrew the pin of the upper section by 3.5 turns.
2° Rotate the pole until the two silver pins are visible, then use the Allen key to push the pin you have just unscrewed inwards.
3° Separate the sections by gently pulling them apart.
WARNING: DO NOT TURN THE ALLEN KEY TOO MANY TIMES COUNTERCLOCKWISE, OTHERWISE THE STEEL PIN WILL COME OUT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE AND BLOCK THE JOINT. IF THIS HAPPENS, TIGHTEN THE STEEL PIN AGAIN WITH THE 5 MM ALLEN KEY CLOCKWISE UNTIL IT STOPS, THEN UNSCREW IT COUNTERCLOCKWISE BY ONLY 3 TURNS.

8.1.2 REMOVING THE STEEL PIN FROM THE POLE
WARNING: DO NOT TURN THE ALLEN KEY TOO MANY TIMES COUNTERCLOCKWISE, OTHERWISE THE STEEL PIN WILL COME OUT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE AND BLOCK THE STEEL PIN AGAIN.
