1 Cartridge bearing carrier pre-assembled in the housing tube.
1 Tube of cartridge housing.
4 Screws pre-assembled M6 tightening screws.
1 key 5mm Allen key.
2 Screws of M5 extraction.
4 Wedges plastic.
1 Square section tube for leveling.

 

- Silicone grease.
- Two-component fluid epoxy resin for casting joints.

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).

To prevent oxidation of the parts and to facilitate the extraction and insertion of the cartridge over time, it is recommended to lubricate with some SILICONE GREASE both the outer side of the cartridge and the inner side of the housing tube.
NOT grease the outside of the housing tube and the upper faces.
This step is mandatory.

 

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

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

3. Grasp the two M5 screws and, while pulling upward, rotate the cartridge alternately clockwise and counterclockwise until it comes out of the housing tube. It's okay if it offers a slight resistance for a short distance.

1st Take the silicone grease, grease the internal surface of the housing tube with your fingers, taking care to grease especially the bottom and the joining sides of the housing tube.
This operation is very important to prevent the water contained in the cement from entering the cartridge and will also facilitate the extraction of the bearing cartridge for maintenance operations.
CAUTION: DO NOT GREASE THE EXTERNAL SURFACE OF THE HOUSING TUBE.

2nd Always using silicone grease, grease the external surface of the cartridge as well.

1° Installation must be carried out by expert and qualified personnel.
2° Read and follow the instructions carefully in all steps.
3° Before installation, make sure that the characteristics of the floor/slab are consistent with the installation methods.
4° Before installation, make sure that there are no plumbing, heating or electrical lines under the installation point.
5° Carry out the work with care, using quality materials and equipment.
6° In any case, refer to the technical specifications of the product used for fixing (resin or other).

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

The depth of the hole depends on how you want the final effect of the installation.

IMPORTANT! If the thickness of the pavement casting is less than the depth of the hole, it will be ESSENTIAL to stabilize the underlying gravel layer by pouring epoxy resin or cement, in order to obtain a SOLID support BASE and a ROBUST and consistent PERIMETER for the entire depth.

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

Drill the hole at the chosen point using a diamond cup cutter, or core drill, with a diameter of 100mm (4inch = 10mm).
The overall height of the assembled tube is 121 mm.
The hole must be 125-130 mm deep + the thickness of the cap (do the calculations carefully).
The cap must be the same diameter as the hole and will hide the cartridge from view and tripping when the equipment is not in use.
It is assumed that the floor is perfectly level and that the finished hole is orthogonal to it.

REMEMBER:
Loose and uneven gravel bottom: DO NOT PROCEED without stabilizing!
Bottom well stabilized with resin or cement: PROCEED with the next steps.

To fix the cartridge inside the hole, it is recommended to use Two-component fluid epoxy resin for casting joints

It is recommended to ensure, before laying, that the contents of the cartridge/bottle/bag are sufficient to complete the job.
If the previous steps have been performed correctly, the volume to be filled is approximately 400 ml.

ALSO EVALUATE THE HARDENING TIMES OF THE CHOSEN PRODUCT and the maximum casting thicknesses recommended by the manufacturer, and possibly modulate the management of the subsequent phases accordingly.

AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION:
The hole in the floor must be clean and free of dust to maximize the adhesion of the resin.

To prevent accidental resin infiltration into the system and irreversibly damage it, completely cover the top side of the tube and cartridge with paper tape, making sure beforehand that there are no traces of grease or dirt that could limit or render the tape ineffective.

It's essential Ensure that the product used to fill the hole does not penetrate the cartridge or tube in any way. To prevent this from happening, resulting in damage to the product, it is necessary seal carefully the top end of the tube with masking tape first to pour the product into the hole.
The lower end of the tube is already sealed and does not require any intervention.

This operation is very important, if the cartridge is cemented crooked it will no longer be possible to extract it and put it straight again.
The housing tube must be installed perfectly straight, otherwise the pole will not rotate properly and installation will be problematic. Make sure it is straight in all directions.

Level the bottom of the hole with a small amount of product (4-9mm) and insert the cartridge into the hole: this step is IMPORTANT To ensure a solid and uniform support for the cartridge, the layer thickness must be calibrated so that the top of the cartridge is in the desired position. It may be useful to place some small rigid shims 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 top side of the cartridge and use it as a support for the spirit level.
Check the perfect horizontality of the system in several positions, stabilizing or correcting the position with the four plastic wedges supplied.

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 refine the casting if necessary.

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

Using the Allen key provided, screw in the four M6 cartridge tightening screws.

To find out how to assemble the pole, see the instructions in point 3.0 ASSEMBLING THE PLATFORM POLE

6.1 Cleaning the pole
GeckoGrip Pole: Simple alcohol (preferably isopropyl) on a microfiber cloth.
Stainless steel pole: water and ammonia (5%) on a microfibre cloth.
Ultragrip2 pole: MEC (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) on a cotton cloth (lint-free)
When cleaning, use personal protective equipment. It is recommended to ventilate the room after cleaning the pole.
6.2 Greasing the bearings
The operation can be carried out completely independently (request at office@brasiliamoda.com the video instructions).
The frequency of this maintenance depends on the frequency of use and the cleanliness of the room. Unless there are any particular needs, for occasional use, we recommend performing it once a year. For more intensive use, please contact our Technical Assistance Service.

7.1 The tools needed for assembly, installation, and disassembly are provided. Before using other tools on the pole, contact Technical Assistance to ensure the appropriateness of the intervention.
7.2 During all phases of assembly, installation and uninstallation of the product, always pay maximum attention and follow the instructions.
7.3 If you have any questions, please contact customer service at office@brasiliamoda.com
7.4 Do not allow unskilled persons or minors to use, install or handle the product unless supervised.
