Adjusting the pole length

Your trekking poles are height adjustable from 66 - 135cm and should be adjusted to your height and the type of use.

Locking/opening (Fig. B)

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:

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^ angle. 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.

- Walking traverses (Fig. F)

Here the upper pole must be shortened and the low pole extended so both pieces can provide support.

- Climbing (Fig. G/H)

Ascending the poles must be shortened to present a comfortable support.

Descending the poles must be extended so you are in a comfortable

upright position whilst supported.

Using the strap (Fig. I)

Attach the strap so the back of your hand is enclosed by the top section of the strap.

Now hold the grip. Please note the wrist straps are marked "L" and "R".

Adjusting the wrist strap (Fig. J-M)

The size of the wrist strap can be adjusted using the push button. To open the locking mechanism, press the push button on the strap adjustment system with your thumb (Fig. J).

The strap is now unlocked and can be adjusted to the correct fit. Pull the open, bottom strap end to tighten the strap. Pull in the opposite direction to loosen the strap (Fig. K).

Tighten the strap by holding the pole with one hand, and with the other pull the upper loop to lock in the push button (Fig. L).

Adjust the size of the loop so it doesn't cut when wrapping your hand around the grip (Fig. M).

Helpful hints for use

• Wear gloves in cold weather.
• Be sure to take sufficient liquids on extended outings (if necessary use a hydration belt or hydration pack).
• Dress appropriate for the weather.

Combo bracket for asphalt pad & basket

Use the combo bracket to store the asphalt pad and the trekking pole basket. The asphalt pad is used on rocky and hard surfaces, and the trekking pole basket for soft surfaces to prevent the trekking pole from sinking in. You may also remove the combo bracket. Pull the tab of the red rubber ring to remove it from the bracket guide. The bracket may now be removed from the pole. To attach the combo bracket place it on the pole, wrap the rubber band once around the pole and reinsert in the guide on the combo holder. When not using the asphalt pads or the trekking pole basket for your current route you can attach/insert them in the basket interchanging system holder.
