Rocktrail Carbon Trekking Stick CT-1406 - Manual (Page 3)

Handy hints for use
• Wear gloves in cold weather.
• Ensure that you consume enough liquid when undertaking long walks.
It may be worth investing in either a drink rucksack or a drink belt.
• Wear clothing appropriate for the weather.
composite support for asphalt pad & plate
You can store the asphalt pad and the trekking-pole plate in the com-
posite support. The asphalt pad should be used on stony, hard ground,
and the trekking-pole plate should be used on soft ground to prevent the
trekking-pole from sinking in too deep.
You may also remove the composite support. Pull the red elastic ring from
its flap out of the fixture guide. The fixture can then be pulled off of the
pole.
In order to replace the combination fixture, place onto the pole once
again and bind the rubber ring around the pole, then placing it in the
fixture guide in the composite fixture.

Always warm up and stretch extensively before hiking (see illustration).
