PREPARE THE TELESCOPING POLE
Section 3.1: Prepare the telescoping pole
1. Extend the telescoping pole (PN 10-1013-02) to full length by firmly locking each section of the pole in
place. A good methodology is to position each half of the joint so that they are several inches apart (while still
within each other), and then pull quickly and firmly. There are rubber plugs inside the base section of each
telescoping pole. These make it easier for handling, but they MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE ASSEMBLY.
VERIFY THE FOAM INSERT IN THE PLUG HAS NOT MADE ITS WAY DOWN THE POLE AND THAT
THERE IS NO OTHER FOREIGN DEBRIS INSIDE THE POLE.
4. The telescoping pole uses 3 total polyolefin heat shrink pieces. 2qty 1.5” x 6” (PN 10-1059-01) for the two
largest joints, and 1qty 1.1” x 6” (PN 10-1059-21) for the smallest joint. One covering each joint after it has
been pulled tight. This creates a secure and waterproof seal. This product requires a heat gun for activation
of the adhesive.
5. When positioning the heat shrink, place it so that the joint of the telescoping pole is centered in the middle
of the heat shrink.
6. Using a heat gun (hair dryers will NOT work), apply heat evenly around the entire area of heat shrink. Note:
there are 4 blue colored lines imprinted on the tubing. The joint is considered done being heated and water-
proof when the lines change color to a yellowish green. Each line needs to change color to ensure even ad-
hesion temperatures.
7. The heat shrink will want to slide as it is heated so wear gloves and reposition the heat shrink to keep it
centered on the joint as needed. Caution: The heat shrink will be HOT, wear insulated gloves!
LOOK INSIDE OF THE TELESCOPING POLE TO VERIFY NOTHING IS BLOCKING IT. YOU
SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE LIGHT AT THE OTHER END IF THE POLE IS KEPT STRAIGHT.
