1. Top Adapter Top Shaft Be careful as you lift to install the XPERT that the Top Adapter Unit does not fall out as it is lifted into position Installation When assembled the XPERT pole is heavy and at full height it is not easy to handle It is unstable and difficult to lift into position It is therefore mandatory compulsory that 2 people install the XPERT pole i e 2 people should lift it into position and expand the height adjuster First make sure the base of the assembled XPERT Pole is at the centre point of your dance area and under the selected joist With one person firmly holding the base in position to stop it slipping the other person should slowly and very carefully lift the pole from the top end raising it using hand over hand movements until it is vertical and under the joist position Take care while holding the pole vertical in case it slips Once vertical and with the second person still holding the base unwind the pole counter clockwise i e rotate left to right this will expand the pole until it touches the ceiling Pole Rotation Rotating the pole tube to the Right Counter clockwise as you look at the vertical pole Tightens Expands the pole cy Undoes Shortens Final Adjustment Once the upper dome is against the ceiling and before it is tightened fur ther make sure the pole is vertical The best way to do this is with a builders level bubble or visual2. 39 Height Chart and Extension Selection Using the full allowed length of the screw adjuster and both the extensions included in the box the X Pole XPERT will fit ceilings from 2235mm 88 to 2735mm 108 Any further increase in height will require additional Optional extensions which can be purchased from your supplier or the X Pole website The screw adjuster has the capability of extending the XPERT Pole by 125mm 5 This is why a minimum and maximum height is shown on the height chart Fig 4 i e between 2235 2375mm or 88 93 5 The Minimum height is with the pole screw adjuster closed Maximum height is with it fully extended 125mm 5 You should NEVER use more than 125mm 5 of the adjuster Start by measuring the height of the ceiling at the centre point of use and then refer to the height chart above Fig 4 which shows the pole tubes extensions to be used Always match the ceiling height to the pole height on the chart which uses the minimum adjuster length 4 Example If the ceiling is 2365mm 93 1 you will see the range of the first pole in the height calculator is 2235 2375mm 88 93 5 This has no extensions and is within your height requirement However the ceiling height of 2365mm 93 is very close to 2375mm 93 5 the maximum height shown in Fig 4 and at this height you would be using nearly all the 125mm 5 of threaded adjuster An extension is there
3. EXPERT Exercise and Dance Pole INSTRUCTION MANUAL READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION Removable Exercise Poles As with any removable portable pole that uses pressure between the floor and ceiling to keep it stable possible damage could occur to the ceiling The XPERT pole is no different from any other pressure supported pole in this regard The fact that damage could occur must be fully understood and accepted before use Vertical Leisure Ltd X Pole US Inc their distributors sales persons or any other persons or associated companies can not be held responsible for any damage to property or injury to persons or third parties during the use of this product If you do not accept that damage can occur DO NOT Remove the XPERT Pole from its packaging DO NOT Assemble the XPERT Pole DO NOT Use the XPERT Pole IMPORTANT The XPERT Pole CANNOT be used with false suspended or non rigid ceilings If in any doubt contact your local X Pole technical support team or visit the web site Most plasterboard or plaster ceilings will flex compress with pressure This means that the retaining nails pins screws can be pushed out of the plasterboard when pressure is applied by the pole adjuster If this happens just re nail or re tighten the fixing screws fill and re paint From then on the problem should not re occur If it does re occur re enforcement may be needed in the area where the upper dome is positioned Information on this can
4. NEVER use water Use a clean smooth cloth to both clean and dry the pole tubes Do not clean with an oil or spray such as WD40 or similar X Joint Screws regularly check the X Joint expansion screws to make sure they operate smoothly A light oil Not WD40 should be applied to the screw thread Apply and adjust in and out a few times to spread the oil down the threads Also check the Hex screw holes that the key goes into These can become rounded with constant use preventing the joint from retracting If the holes go round new screws can be bought from the X Pole web site Hex Keys The edges of the Hex keys can become rounded with use Do not used rounded keys as these can damage the screws Replace the key Base Screws the 4 screws on the base can come loose with regular use Check and re tighten regularly Spare screws are available on the website Trouble Shooting The X Pole XPERT is the latest in pole technology and should not need any support providing the regular maintenance is carried out and the pole is looked after cared for and stored properly Hex Keys Screws It is important to make sure the Hex key is fully inserted into the hex expansion screw Partial insertion can damage the screw holes rounding then during operation making it difficult to tighten or more importantly undo the joint Spare screws are available from the web site should they be damaged Keep watching the X Pole website for any product
5. 10 less extension 250mm 9 85 30mm 1 2 Therefore using the 250mm extension means only 30mm 1 of adjuster expansion Minimising the number of extensions Another key point is to minimise the number of extensions used for a given height extension requirement So if the required extension length is 500mm 20 it is better to use 1x 500mm 20 optional extension than 2x 250mm 10 Calculation is the most accurate method of selection and allows for a better extension selection There is also a special height chart on the web site If you have any doubt about the extensions required or how to select them please contact your local technical support who will be pleased to help Extension Installation Correct installation of extensions and X Joints is extremely important to ensure strength and stability Please read the next section paying maximum attention to the correct procedure for installing X Joints Fig 5 Top Adapter Ny Height ed A ial B T Micro amd f aa U pper dome Extensions should always be installed at the opposite end to the height adjuster Fig 5 The smallest extension always goes closest to the upper support plate NEVER install extensions in the middle of the pole this is dangerous X Joint Operation The XPERT includes the very latest in pole joint technology the X Joint This joint is simple easy to use very strong and stable Just follow the
