ATTACHING SWEEPS AND DIVERTERS TO FIBERGLASS
8. Use the glue kit (PN 72-0009-03) from the glue/tape kit to attach the sweep diverters (PN 10-1511-01) to the
tips of the fiberglass telescoping poles. ONLY APPLY GLUE TO THE FIBERGLASS. Slowly rotate the sweep
diverter as you slide it onto the pole to let the glue cover the most surface area possible. MAKE SURE THE
SWEEP DIVERTER IS PUSHED AS FAR DOWN ONTO THE FIBERGLASS POLES AS POSSIBLE. The
sweep diverter should be oriented in the same way as shown in the figure below, with the flanged edge towards
the rest of the pole. Be sure the glue has dried completely before moving onto the next steps.
9. Put a piece of polyolefin heat shrink 1.1” x 6” (PN 10-1059-21) onto the telescoping pole, leaving the diverter
clear. It should be down on the pole far enough that it doesn’t interfere with fitting the diverter into the sweep.
10. Insert the fiberglass pole, with the sweep diverter on it, into the sweep as far as possible. DO NOT GLUE
THE SWEEP DIVERTER INTO THE SWEEP. Reposition the heat shrink to cover the joint.
11. Shrink the polyolefin sleeve over the joint as described on step 6 on the previous page; LEAVE AT LEAST 3”
OF HEAT SHRINK ON THE SWEEP SIDE OF THE JOINT. Be EXTREMELY careful not to overheat the poly
sweep, you will deform or kink the material if too much heat is applied (if this occurs you will need to undo
your work and replace the poly sweep).
12. Remember, the heat shrink will want to slide as it’s heated. Reposition it as it cools to make sure the joint is
fully covered. The heat shrink will be hot; wear insulated gloves.
Only apply glue to
the fiberglass pole!
