Connecting the telescoping poles to the plastic sweeps
Insert the pole tip into the plastic coupler. If for some reason you cannot get the pole into the plastic
sweep, it is probably because the plastic sweep material is too elongated still. This may seem counter-
intuitive, but tighten the plastic sweep couplers until the shape at the end becomes more cylindrical as
shown in figure 6.20.
As you push the tip inward, turn the pole clockwise in a corkscrew manner as shown in figure 6.21, so
that the tape does not unwind or kink during the process. Push the pole until it butts up against the
plastic coupler as shown in figure 6.22. It is acceptable for a small amount of blue silicone wrap to pro-
trude outside of the joint, as shown in figure 6.23.
Finish tightening the four screws on the outside corners of the plastic coupler. Tighten evenly, in an
automobile X type pattern as shown in figure 6.24 . If you do not tighten evenly, you could potentially
break the fastener. Figure 6.25 shows a suggested method for tightening the screws.
When completely tightened, the sweep coupler halves should touch or almost touch. Similar to figure
6.23.
Figure 6.16 shows a completed sweep. Repeat the same steps for the remaining sweeps.
