Opening
The direction for opening and
locking is already indicated at the
top of the trekking pole. Hold the
upper section of the pole with one
hand, you will then be able to
tighten the lower pole sections
turning clockwise, or lock it turning
counter-clockwise. Keep tightening
the screw connection until you’re
unable to turn it any more by typical
force.
enabling/disabling the damping system
To disable the damping system, secure the pole length as described
under “Adjusting the pole length”.
Then slightly turn the centre section of the trekking pole against the
locking direction. You will now hear a distinct click. The damping system
is now disabled. Turn the centre section slightly in the locking direction to
reactivate the damping system.
note:
c
• After closing check if the fasteners
are secure by slightly leaning onto
the pole.
• Never fasten the pole length
beyond the “STOP” mark!
• When pulled very tightly the
trekking pole locking system with
attain a clamping force of approx.
140kg.
• Loads over 100kg with the
damping system disabled may
damage the damping system.
• If the pole won’t close, remove the respective pole section from the
pole. Turn the locking system 2 - 3 turns by hand until the orange
clamping device begins to slightly spread (see Fig. C). Then reinsert the
individual pole section into the pole and secure to the desired length.
• walking on level surfaces (Fig. d/e)
Adjust the pole length so your upper arm and forearm are at a 90° ang-
le. Be sure to adjust the poles to the same length. The centre and bottom
stock sections have pole length marks. To adjust the pole to a length of
120cm, secure the centre and bottom pole sections so the 120cm
marking are just visible in the upper pole section.
