1 Plumb line
Anchors and screws (required to screw the upper cup to the ceiling and the disc to the floor). These must be selected and purchased according to the composition of the ceiling/beam and floor. For the cup, use metal mechanical anchors or chemical anchors with M6 metric screw. For installation on wooden beams or ceilings, use 6 mm chipboard screws. The disc must be fixed in place with three 6 mm nylon plugs and corresponding 3.5/4 x 50 chipboard screws.
In case of doubt, contact qualified personnel.

At the base of the lower plate there is a recessed disc. To remove it:

1° Press the 3 buttons on the lower plate at the same time and rotate the disc counterclockwise.
2°  Release the buttons and continue rotating the disc until the buttons move back upwards.
3° At this point, lift the plate to separate it from the disc.

1° Insert the pin of the lower plate into one end of the lower section.
2° Rotate the plate so that the holes align with the locking pin. Using the 5 mm Allen key, tighten the screw, checking that the locking pin enters the hole correctly, by turning it clockwise until it stops, making sure it is properly tightened. If the pole is never separated, the tightening of the locking pin must be checked periodically.

1° Place the pole sections on the floor. The joint is pre-assembled in the upper section.
2° Insert the free end of the joint into the lower section. Do not force it; if the joint does not fit, contact the technical department.
3° Rotate the section so that the holes align with the locking pin. Using the 5 mm Allen key, tighten the joint screw, checking that the locking pin enters the hole correctly, by turning it clockwise until it stops, making sure it is properly tightened. If the pole is never separated, the locking pin must be tightened from time to time.

- The Yacht pole requires the possibility of recessing or screwing a disc with a diameter of 11 cm and a thickness of 8 mm into the floor.
- The disc must be housed in a 110 mm diameter hole, to be made in the floor covering (tile, parquet, linoleum, dance flooring ecc...). If you do not have a 110 mm hole saw, you can use a 120 mm one, keeping in mind that the hole will be slightly larger than the diameter of the disc and therefore a small empty space will remain around it.

- The thickness of the disc generally does not exceed the thickness of the floor covering; once installed, the disc will therefore remain flush with the floor, leaving only a few small slots exposed. If the hole is deeper than the thickness of the disc, level the bottom using suitable systems (cement, epoxy resin, spacers, shims, etc...). 
- Alternatively, the disc can be recessed deeper, to a depth equal to the 8 mm thickness of the disc plus the thickness of the floor covering. This solution allows the disc to be covered when the pole is not installed, using a cap made from the same material as the floor covering, obtaining a perfectly smooth and uniform surface.
- The disc must be fixed in place using three 6 mm nylon plugs and the corresponding 3.5/4 x 50 chipboard screws (not included). Before drilling, check for the possible presence of underfloor heating. Alternatively, mechanical anchors with M5-M6 countersunk metric screws can be used.

1° Mark the exact installation point of the pole on the ceiling. This must correspond to the point where the height indicated at the time of the order was measured. If you do not remember the exact position, measure the ceiling height again until you identify the point corresponding to the measurement stated in the order.
2° Using a plumb line (not included), identify on the floor the point corresponding to the point marked on the ceiling: this will be the exact centre where the disc must be installed.
3° Using the marked point as the centre, make a hole in the floor with the required depth according to the intended type of installation. 

1° Reposition the disc in the hole, aligning the holes of the disc with the anchors inserted into the floor. 
2° Fix the disc with three 3.5/4 x 50 chipboard screws. Tighten the screws until the disc is firmly locked in place. 

As an alternative to nylon plugs, mechanical anchors with M5-M6 countersunk metric screws can also be used, to be selected according to the composition of the floor.

In case of doubt about correct installation or the choice of anchors, contact qualified personnel.

Screws and anchors for installing the cup are not included with the product, as they must be selected according to the type and composition of the ceiling.

WARNING! The ceiling fixing point must be structurally suitable and able to withstand transverse forces. Do not install on plasterboard, thin wood panelling or suspended ceilings. If installation is carried out under a beam, make sure that the beam is wider than 11 cm.

1° The upper cup of the Yacht pole has a central hole. Position the cup on the ceiling and align the central hole with the installation point marked previously. 
2° Once the cup is centred, use the holes on the cup as a reference and mark on the ceiling the points where the fixing holes must be drilled.

1° Remove the cup from the ceiling and drill the holes in the marked points.
2° Insert the anchors into the corresponding holes. 

1° Reposition the cup on the ceiling, aligning the holes of the cup with the holes or anchors previously prepared.
2° Fix the cup to the ceiling with the corresponding screws, tightening them firmly so that the cup is locked in place.

1° Holding the pole raised from the floor and slightly tilted, insert the spherical upper end into the upper cup.

2° Align the lower plate with the floor disc.
3° Align the position of the 3 buttons on the lower plate with the corresponding holes on the floor disc, then place the plate in its housing.

4° Press the 3 buttons simultaneously and rotate the plate clockwise. Release the buttons and continue rotating until they move back upwards with a slight “click”.

THE POLE IS NOW INSTALLED!

The height of the pole can be adjusted on the upper pin by changing the position of the gold-coloured ring (The pole must be removed and placed on the floor), See point 7.0.

- The upper plate is equipped with a height adjustment system that allows the pole to be adapted with a tolerance from -1 cm to +3 cm compared to the measurement provided at the time of the order.
- The pin is supplied already adjusted to the standard measurement, corresponding to the height provided, but it can be modified if necessary.
- Extend the end ONLY if the ball does not remain completely engaged inside the upper cup.
- Shorten the end ONLY if the contact of the ball prevents the complete installation of the pole.

Apply pulling force to extract the upper pin from the pole, even partially, so that the height adjustment can be carried out.

1° Lower the brass ring to release the metal wire ring underneath.
2° The ring can be positioned in 5 different grooves, corresponding to a range from -1 cm to +3 cm compared to the “0” height provided at the time of the order.

3° With the help of a fingernail or the tip of a knife, move the ring into the desired groove (in the example shown in the images, the last one at the top corresponds to -1 cm).
The same procedure applies to all positions.
To make the operation easier, it is recommended to alternate the movement of the two ends of the ring.

4° Return the brass ring to the locking position, making it slide completely over the metal wire ring.

1° Apply pressure and insert the pin into the upper end of the pole.
2° Insert the pin fully, until the edge of the pole comes into contact with the brass ring.

2° Lift and slightly tilt the pole.
3° Remove the spherical upper end from the ceiling cup.
4° Remove the pole by placing it on the floor or in the dedicated pole rack. If stored vertically, make sure it is secured to prevent it from falling in case of accidental impact.

IF YOU NEED TO SEPARATE THE POLE INTO TWO PIECES:

Place the pole on the floor in a horizontal position before proceeding.
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 small 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.

12.1 It is recommended to disassemble the pole at least 1-2 times a year to carry out thorough cleaning and check the good condition of all components. During the check, make sure that all elements insert and fit together correctly and without difficulty. Pay particular attention to the internal components: any moisture inside the pole may cause oxidation around the joint, pin or other metal elements. 
In case of anomalies, assembly difficulties or incorrect operation of one or more elements, contact our Technical Support Service.
12.2 Pole cleaning
GeckoGrip pole: isopropyl alcohol on a microfibre cloth.
Inox pole: water and ammonia (5%) on a microfibre cloth.
UltraGrip pole: MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) on a (lint-free) cotton cloth.
SuperGrip pole (previously known as UltraGrip3): 90° alcohol on a soft cloth.
During cleaning, use personal protective equipment. It is recommended to ventilate the room after cleaning the pole.
12.3 The O-ring (black rubber ring) positioned on the ball is supplied already slightly lubricated. Periodically check that the O-ring maintains light lubrication and, if necessary, lubricate it again using silicone grease (if silicone grease is not available, a glycerine-based hand cream may be used temporarily).
12.4 After use, store all components in their original packaging or in the dedicated transport bags, in order to preserve their integrity and make handling easier.

13.1 The keys required for assembly, installation and removal are supplied. Before using any other tools on the pole, contact the Technical Support Service to check whether the operation is suitable.

AGMDESIGN.IT WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OR PERSONS CAUSED BY IMPROPER USE OF THE PRODUCT.

14.1 THE QUICKSPIN™ SELECTOR FALLS AND DOES NOT REMAIN IN SPIN OR STATIC POSITION
If the QuickSpin™ selector does not remain in the selected position and tends to fall, the black slotted screw may have lost its calibration. The screw is visible through the hole on the outer diameter of the QuickSpin™ selector (see point 8.2).
The screw is calibrated at the factory and held in position with medium-strength threadlocker. Following tampering or, over time, due to vibrations, the threadlocker may lose its effectiveness and allow the screw to move from the factory position. 
To prevent the screw from moving again, it is first necessary to lock it in position and then proceed with the selector calibration.
LOCKING THE SCREW:
1° Using a suitably sized flat-head screwdriver, fully unscrew the screw and remove it from the hole.
2° Wrap the screw with 3-4 turns of PTFE tape, Teflon, commonly used in plumbing for sealing fittings.
3°  Reinsert the screw into the hole and screw it in completely until it stops.
CALIBRATING THE QUICKSPIN™ SELECTOR:
1° After screwing the screw in completely until it stops, unscrew it by half a turn.
2° Check the movement of the QuickSpin™ selector.
3° If the movement is still too stiff, unscrew the screw further by 1/4 turn at a time, until the selector moves correctly.
The calibration is correctly restored when the selector can be moved easily between the SPIN and STATIC positions and remains stable in the selected position.
14.2 THE QUICKSPIN™ IS LOCKED
Check that the optional locking screw is not inserted and that the slotted screw has NOT been touched (see point 8.2) If the optional screw is not inserted, the locking of the QuickSpin™ may be due to the loss of correct calibration of the slotted screw. In this case, restore the calibration as described in point 14.1.
14.3 GECKOGRIP AND INOX POLES ARE MORE SLIPPERY THAN OTHER INSTALLATIONS
Clean the poles as described in point 12.2.
If the problem persists, check other aspects: outdoor environment too humid, sweating, etc. If a conformity defect is suspected, contact customer service within the terms established by the conditions of sale.
