Take care when unpacking the poles and components in order to not damage the pole coating. Pole assembly should be carried out on the ground.
Place the pole sections horizontally on the ground and kneel in front of them in order to begin assembly.

ATTENTION:  Do not remove the red tape from the pole base until specifically instructed to do so.

1° Rest the upper plate on the floor and slot the upper pole section onto the steel pin.
2° Check that the plate is fully inserted

Follow step 3.2.1 for the 45 mm pole.
Follow step 3.2.2 for the 40 mm pole.

1° Remove the red tape at the bottom of the pole
2° Lower the QuickSpin (static pole position).  
3° Screw the lower plate into the lower pole section by turning it clockwise, stopping approximately 2 cm from the safety ring.
DO THIS OPERATION WITH THE POLE ON THE GROUND IN A HORIZONTAL POSITION,THE PICTURE IS INDICATIVE.

1° Lower the QuickSpin (static pole position) and rotate the safety ring clockwise to approximately 1 cm from the Quickspin ring.
2° Screw the lower plate into the lower pole section by turning it clockwise until it is almost touching the safety ring.
DO THIS OPERATION WITH THE POLE ON THE GROUND IN A HORIZONTAL POSITION, THE PHOTO IS INDICATIVE.

1° Place the pole sections on the ground and connect them, ensuring that the holes align.
2° Use the 5 mm hex key to tighten the joints, turning the key clockwise.

Now you can install it, follow the next steps.

Screw the 11 cm diameter plate to the ceiling at the point where the measurement was taken when purchasing the pole. If you do not remember the position, resume the measurement until you reach the one communicated at the purchase.
The pole has a tolerance of - 1 + 4 cm compared to the height indicated when ordering. If the height is not correct, the pole will not be safe.
To screw the plate, use M6 screws and relative plugs.
Screws and dowels are not included in the product because they must be chosen depending on the composition of the ceiling.

ATTENTION:
Always make sure that the inclination does not exceed 30 °.
If installing under a beam, make sure it is wider than 10cm.

1 ° Make sure that the contact surfaces support a pressure of approximately 350 kg and that the pole is installed in the point where the measurement was taken at the time of purchase.
2 ° Clean the floor to remove any residual dust.
3 ° The tires (PAD) present under the pole plates must always be clean and degreased with alcohol. The PADs are kept in place without the use of chemical adhesives, in case of detachment use double-sided tape to reposition them.

1 ° Make sure that the QuickSpin is in a static position.
2 ° Place the pole in a vertical position in the point where it is to be installed (taking care not to damage the surrounding chandeliers, walls and furnishings).
3 ° Keep the base resting on the floor, grasp the pole at half height and rotate it anticlockwise, the pole will begin to rise and the sphere to approach the plate fixed to the ceiling.
4 ° As soon as the ball has touched the upper plate, stop to level the pole.

The height regulation screws must not be excessively exposed. Insert the 5 mm hex key into the inspection hole located on the lower part of the lower pole section: 
1° if the hex key stops against the internal screw, installation has been carried out correctly.
2° if the hex key passes through the hole on the opposite side, the pole is NOT secure. This means that in the point in which the pole has been positioned, the height of the ceiling is more than that indicated in the order. Try to move the pole to another point in the room before contacting the manufacturer.

This operation is very important as it will allow the pole to function correctly.

1° Place the pole in a perfectly vertical position with the use of a spirit level (not included), first frontally and then laterally, moving the lower plate with your foot in the direction necessary.
2° When the pole is in a perfectly vertical position, grip it with both hands and turn it slowly anticlockwise in order to properly fix the upper plate against the ceiling.
3° The pole should not be excessively tightened, as otherwise the elevated pressure may slow the spin speed.

1° Grip the pole with both hands
2° Shake it in order to ensure that the pole does not shift position, and then move on to the next check.

If the pole moves, and is therefore no longer perfectly vertical:
1° Grip the pole
2° Turn it clockwise to lower it
3° Repeat point 5.1 and 5.3, tightening a little more than before
4° Repeat the stability check.

1° Lift the QuickSpin ring (spinning position).
2° Rotate the pole in order to test the fluidity of the spin.

If it spins freely:
Move on to the next step: TIGHTEN THE SAFETY SCREWS.

If the pole does not spin freely: 
1° Lower the QuickSpin ring to the static position.
2° Loosen the pole by turning it just a few degrees clockwise. 
3° Repeat the stability check.

If the pole spins unevenly:
Check that the pole is perfectly vertical as per point 5.3.

Follow point 5.6.1 for 45 mm pole or point 5.6.2 for 40 mm pole

1° Take the 8 mm spanner.
2° Position the 8 mm spanner correctly (point 4.6.1.1) and tighten the hexagonal screws (safety screws) alternately by turning them anticlockwise (observing from above, looking downwards). Tighten the screws with appropriate force. Excessive force may cause damage.

1° Make sure to insert the 8 mm wrench correctly so that the screws are tightened completely and the pole does not unscrew in a static position.
2° As in the photo, the 8 mm wrench must not touch the threaded shaft of the pole.

If the pole unscrews in a static position, it means that the two safety screws have not been tightened completely or correctly.

1° Turn the safety ring anticlockwise until the screws come into contact with the pole
2° Position the 8 mm spanner correctly and tighten the hexagonal screws (safety screws) by turning them counterclockwise
Tighten the screws in an alternating manner, first tightening them both lightly, and then with increased force. Tighten the screws with appropriate force. Excessive force may cause damage.

1° Lower the QuickSpin ring to the static position.
2° Check that the pole does not turn by turning it anticlockwise.

If you want to start the pole also to the floor, once points 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 have been completed, proceed as follows:

1° Mark the points where the screws are to be inserted in the floor with a pencil.
2° Proceed with the uninstallation of the pole (points 8.0).
3° Drill the marked points with a drill and insert the plugs.
4° Proceed with the installation of the pole (points 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 5.5 5.6 5.7) and match the holes on the plate to the holes on the floor / ceiling.
5° Tighten the screws.

To use the pole in either spinning or static modes, lower or lift the QuickSpin ring:
- QuickSpin ring lowered: static pole
- QuickSpin ring lifted: spinning pole

If you do not want to lock the operation of the QuickSpin, you DO NOT have to insert the screw.
If you need to lock the QuickSpin ring in either of the 2 positions (spinning or static), use the grub screw and the 4 mm hex key. 

1° Lock QuickSpin in the spinning position:
lift the QuickSpin ring, insert the grub screw in the free hole and tighten it fully with the 4 mm hex key. Unscrew the grub screw in order to free the QuickSpin. 

2° Lock QuickSpin in the static position:
lift the QuickSpin ring, insert the grub screw in the free hole and tighten it fully with the 4 mm hex key. Unscrew the grub screw in order to free the QuickSpin.

Remember that this screw only needs to be screwed in if you want to lock the QuickSpin, otherwise it must not be inserted as it could lock the QuickSpin when using the pole.

Do not touch the screws indicated in the figure.
This screw regulates the operation of the QuickSpin and is recorded in the production of the pole, if this screw is tampered with, the QuickSpin will no longer remain in the spin position and you will have to contact technical assistance.

POINT 8.1 FOR 45 MM POLE
POINT 8.2 FOR 40 MM POLE

1° Position the 8 mm spanner correctly on the safety screws in order to avoid damage.
2° Loosen the safety screws with the 8 mm spanner by turning them clockwise (observing from above, looking downwards) but do not remove them completely.

Handle the pole with the utmost attention in order to ensure that it does not fall.

1° Lower the QuickSpin to the static position.
2° Rotate the pole in a clockwise direction to detach it from the ceiling. If the rubber pad on the upper plate is stuck to the ceiling through suction, allow air between the rubber and the ceiling or the safety plate with a screwdriver or similar.
4° Remove the pole, resting it on the ground or on the dedicated rack. If rested in a vertical position, make sure it is suitably anchored in such a way that it will not fall if accidentally knocked.

1° Position the 8 mm spanner correctly on the safety screws in order to avoid damage. Loosen the safety screws by turning them clockwise
2° Turn the safety ring clockwise to move it close to the QuickSpin

paying attention not to allow it to fall and not to collide with furniture or other objects.
If rested in a vertical position, make sure it is suitably anchored in such a way that it will not fall if accidentally knocked.

9.1 BEFORE USE, ALWAYS check that the central joint of the pole is adequately tightened.
9.2 Always carry out the checks in points 5.3, 5.5 and 5.6 before use.
9.3 Each time the pole is installed, check that the floor and the rubber pads under the pole plates are perfectly clean.

12.1 THE POLE TURNS SLOWLY
Excessive pressure may have been applied to the pole during installation: reduce pressure, see point 5.4
12.2 THE LOWER POLE PLATE SLIPS
Check that the rubber pads on the underside of the pole plates and the floor are perfectly clean, see point 8.2
12.3 THE POLE TURNS NOISILY
Check that the pole is in a perfectly vertical position (point 5.2)
Check that the floor and ceiling are parallel. If this is not the case, try and move the pole a few centimetres.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to lubricate the pole bearings (point 10.2)
12.4 THE QUICKSPIN SYSTEM IS BLOCKED
Check that the optional screw has not been inserted and that the slotted screws have not been touched (point 7.2)
Check that the pole is in a perfectly vertical position (point 5.2)
12.5 THE RUBBER PADS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POLE HAVE DETACHED
The pads are installed without the use of chemical glues. In the event of their detaching, in order to reposition them clean the contact area and use normal double-sided adhesive tape (spare pads are supplied with double-sided tape on the back).
12.6 THE PRESSURE OF THE POLE BETWEEN THE CEILING AND THE FLOOR HAS REDUCED FOLLOWING INSTALLATION
Check that the floor and ceiling are solid (point 5.0).
In the case of laminated parquet fitted with expanded polyethylene film, the pockets of air inside the polyethylene compress, causing the pole to lose pressure. When this happens, loosen the safety screws and rotate the pole anticlockwise a few degrees in order to restore the correct level of pressure, as per points 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 In any case, we recommend installation of the Safety Plate.
12.7 THE POLE UNSCREWS WHEN IN STATIC MODE
Check the correct tightening of the safety screws as per points 5.5 and 5.6
12.8 THE GECKOGRIP AND STAINLESS STEEL POLES ARE MORE SLIPPERY THAN IN OTHER INSTALLATIONS
Clean the poles as per point 10.1
If the problem persists, check other aspects, such as an excessively damp external environment, sweating, etc. In the event that a defect is suspected, contact customer service as per the terms and conditions of sale.
12.9 When the product is not in use, check that it is stored in a safe position.
