aluminium poles. Each is made up of
two sections - the thin section is
stored within the thick section when
not in use.
•
Remove the black plastic bung from
the end; remove the thin section
inside. Replace bung.
•
Insert the open end of the thin section
into the indented end in the thick
section.
4 flexi-poles:
•
Assemble the four black, pre-bent
poles. Each pole is joined with shock-
cord.
Align each section with the next;
click and form a smooth curve.
