1 bearing cartridge pre-installed in the housing tube.
1 cartridge housing tube .
4 pre-installed 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 pour-back repairs.

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 make it easier to remove and insert the cartridge over time, we recommend lubricating 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 faces.
This step is required.

 

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 comes out of 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 inside surface of the housing tube, making sure to grease the bottom and the sides where the housing tube joins.
This operation is very important for preventing water contained in the concrete from entering the cartridge, and will also make it easier to remove the bearing cartridge for maintenance.
CAUTION: DO NOT GREASE THE OUTER SURFACE OF THE HOUSING TUBE.

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

1st LInstallation must be carried out by experienced and qualified personnel.
2nd Read and carefully follow the instructions at every step.
3rd Before installation, make sure the characteristics of the floor/slab are compatible with the installation method.
4th Before installation, make sure there are no plumbing, heating, or electrical systems beneath the installation point.
5th Carry out the work carefully, using quality materials and equipment.
6th In all cases, refer to the technical specifications of the product used for fastening (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, in order to create a SOLID SUPPORT BASE and a STRONG, consistent PERIMETER throughout 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 a plug.

Drill a 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 conceal the cartridge and prevent tripping when the equipment is not in use.
The floor is assumed to be perfectly level and the finished hole perpendicular to it.

REMEMBER: 
Loose, unstable gravel base: DO NOT PROCEED without stabilizing it!
Base firmly stabilized with resin or cement: PROCEED with the next steps.

To secure the cartridge inside the hole, we recommend using two-component fluid epoxy resin for concrete repairs

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

ALSO CHECK THE CURING TIME OF THE PRODUCT YOU CHOOSE and the maximum recommended pouring thicknesses specified by the manufacturer, and adjust the subsequent steps accordingly if necessary.

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

To prevent accidental resin leaks inside the system from irreversibly damaging it, completely cover the top of the tube and cartridge with paper tape, first making sure there are no traces of grease or dirt that could limit or prevent the tape from adhering.

It is essential that the product used to fill the hole does not penetrate the cartridge or tube in any way. To prevent this from happening and damaging the product, the upper end of the tube must be carefully sealed with masking tape before pouring the product into the hole.
The lower end of the tube is already sealed and requires no further 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 may occur. Check that 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 firm, even support for the cartridge; the layer thickness must be adjusted so that the top end of the cartridge is in the desired position. It may be helpful to place a few 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 top side of the cartridge and use it to support the level.
Check that the system is perfectly level in several places, stabilizing or correcting its position with the four supplied plastic wedges.

If possible, we recommend waiting for the product to cure. 

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 cure 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 assembling the pole, see section 3.0 POLE PLATFORM ASSEMBLY

6.1 Cleaning the pole
GeckoGrip pole: plain alcohol (preferably isopropyl) on a microfiber cloth.
Stainless steel pole: water and ammonia (5%) on a microfiber cloth.
Ultragrip2 pole: MEC (methyl ethyl ketone) on a cotton (lint-free) cloth
Wear personal protective equipment while cleaning. We recommend airing out the room after cleaning the pole.
6.2 Greasing the bearings
L'The procedure can be carried out independently (request video instructions from office@brasiliamoda.com).
The maintenance frequency depends on how often the pole is used and how clean the room is. If no particular needs arise, annual maintenance is recommended for occasional use. For more intensive use, contact our Technical Support.

7.1 The tools required for assembly, installation, and disassembly are provided. Before using any other tools on the pole, contact Technical Support to check whether they are suitable for the task. 
7.2 Always take great care and follow the instructions during all stages of product assembly, installation, and disassembly.
7.3 If in doubt, contact customer support. office@brasiliamoda.com
