1 Bearing cartridge premounted in the housing tube.
1 Cartridge housing tube .
4 Premounted M6 tightening screws .
1 5 mm Allen key .
2 M5 extraction screws .
4 Plastic wedges .
1 Square-section tube for leveling.

 

- Silicone grease.
- Two-component fluid epoxy resin for bonding new concrete to existing concrete.

The bearing cartridge can be easily removed from the housing tube for routine maintenance (e.g., cleaning and greasing the bearings) and extraordinary maintenance (e.g., replacing worn bearings if necessary).

To prevent oxidation of the parts and facilitate cartridge removal and insertion over time, lubricate both the outside of the cartridge and the inside of the housing tube with SILICONE GREASE .
DO NOT get grease on the outside of the housing tube or on the top surfaces.
This step is mandatory.

 

1st Using the supplied 5 mm Allen key, unscrew and remove the four cartridge retaining screws.

2nd Take the two supplied M5 screws and screw them halfway into the corresponding threaded holes in the top of the cartridge.

3rd Grasp the two M5 screws and, while pulling upward, alternately rotate the cartridge clockwise and counterclockwise until it is removed from the housing tube. It is normal for it to offer slight resistance to removal over a short section.

1st Take the silicone grease and, using your fingers, grease the inner surface of the housing tube, taking care to grease especially the bottom and the tube’s joining sides.
This operation is very important to prevent the water contained in the concrete from entering the cartridge, and it will also facilitate removal of the bearing cartridge for maintenance operations.
CAUTION: DO NOT GREASE THE OUTER SURFACE OF THE HOUSING TUBE.

2° Using silicone grease, also grease the outer surface of the cartridge.

1° The installation must be carried out by experienced and qualified personnel.
2° Read and carefully follow the instructions at every step.
3° Before installation, make sure the characteristics of the floor/slab are compatible with the installation method.
4° Before installation, make sure there are no plumbing, heating, or electrical lines beneath the installation point.
5° Carry out the work carefully, using high-quality materials and equipment.
6° In all cases, refer to the technical specifications of the product used for fixing (resin or other).

For installations on stages, in iron structures, or in gardens, contact the technical department support@thepole.it

The depth of the hole depends on the desired final installation effect.

IMPORTANT! If the thickness of the poured floor is less than the depth of the hole, it is ESSENTIAL to stabilize the underlying gravel layer by pouring epoxy resin or cement into it, in order to obtain a SOLID SUPPORT BASE and a ROBUST, consistent PERIMETER along the entire depth. 

Follow section 3.1.1 for installing the cartridge flush with the floor.
Follow section 3.1.2 for installing the cartridge with the construction of a cap.

Drill the hole at the selected location using a diamond core bit or core drill with a diameter of 100 mm (4 inches = 10 mm).
The overall height of the assembled tube is 121 mm.
The hole must be 125–130 mm deep plus the thickness of the cap (calculate carefully).
The cap must have the same diameter as the hole and will hide the cartridge from view and prevent tripping when the equipment is not in use.
It is assumed that the floor is perfectly level and that the finished hole is perpendicular to it.

REMEMBER: 
Loose and unstable gravel base: DO NOT PROCEED without stabilizing it!
Base well stabilized with resin or cement: PROCEED with the following steps.

For securing the cartridge inside the hole, the use of  two-component fluid epoxy resin for concrete pour bonding is recommended.

Before installation, make sure that the contents of the cartridge/bottle/bag are sufficient to complete the work. 
If the previous steps have been carried out correctly, the volume to be filled is approximately 400 ml.

ALSO CONSIDER THE CURING TIME OF THE SELECTED PRODUCT and the maximum recommended pouring thicknesses specified by the manufacturer, and adjust the management of the subsequent stages accordingly, if necessary.

DURING INSTALLATION:
The hole in the floor must be clean and free of dust to maximize the resin's adhesion.

To prevent accidental resin infiltration into the system from irreversibly damaging it, completely cover the upper side of the tube and cartridge with paper tape, first ensuring that there are no traces of grease or dirt that could limit or prevent the tape from adhering effectively.

It is essential that the product used to fill the hole does not penetrate the cartridge or tube in any way. To prevent this, which could damage the product, it is necessary to carefully seal the upper end of the tube with masking tape before pouring the product into the hole.
The lower end of the tube is already sealed and does not require any work.

This operation is very important: if the cartridge is cemented at an angle, it will no longer be possible to remove it and straighten it.
The housing tube must be installed perfectly straight; otherwise, the pole will not rotate properly and installation problems will occur. Check that it is straight in all directions.

Level the bottom of the hole with a small amount of product (4–9 mm) and insert the cartridge into the hole: this step is IMPORTANT to ensure a solid and even support for the cartridge; the layer thickness must be calibrated so that the upper end of the cartridge is in the desired position. It may be useful to place some small rigid spacers under the base to prevent it from sinking and keep the cartridge at the desired level.

Fill the lower half of the hole with resin.
Place the supplied square tube on the upper side of the cartridge and use it as a support for the level.
Check the system’s perfect levelness in several positions, stabilizing or correcting its position with the four supplied plastic wedges.

If possible, it is recommended to wait for the product to harden. 

Remove the wedges and fill the remaining volume with product, reaching the desired height.
Level and finish the pour if necessary.

Wait for the resin to harden COMPLETELY before removing the tape and using the equipment.

Using the supplied Allen key, tighten the cartridge’s four M6 clamping screws.

For instructions on how to assemble the pole, see the instructions in section 3.0 ASSEMBLING THE PLATFORM POLE

6.1 Pole cleaning
Palo GeckoGrip: simply use alcohol (preferably isopropyl alcohol) on a microfiber cloth.
Stainless steel pole: water and ammonia (5%) on a microfiber cloth.
Ultragrip2 Pole: MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) on a lint-free cotton cloth
During cleaning, use personal protective equipment; airing out the room after cleaning the pole is recommended.
6.2 Bearing lubrication
The operation can be carried out independently (request the video instructions from office@brasiliamoda.com).
The frequency of this maintenance depends on how often the product is used and how clean the room is. If there are no particular requirements, for occasional use, we recommend carrying it out once a year. For more intensive use, please contact our Technical Support Service.
