Features at a Glance

Key components: Eight-section telescoping pole, Integrated Solar Charging Panel, Universal Tool Mount, Twist-Lock Collars, Carry Strap, and Storage Bag.

Assembly & Setup

Unpack all components and inspect for damage. Assemble on a clean, flat surface.

1. Extend Sections: Loosen all twist-lock collars and gently pull sections to desired length.
2. Lock Sections: Firmly twist each collar clockwise until tight and secure.
3. Attach Tool Mount: Screw the Universal Tool Mount onto the pole's threaded end.
4. Install Accessory: Attach your tool (e.g., brush, camera, squeegee) to the mount and secure.
5. Deploy Solar Panel: Unfold the solar panel and position it to face direct sunlight.

WARNING! Pole is long when extended; maintain clear surroundings to avoid striking people or objects. Ensure all locks are fully engaged before use.

First-Time Use

Fully charge the solar power system before first operational use.

1. Solar Initialization: Place the assembled pole in direct sunlight for 4-6 hours to charge the internal battery.
2. Check Charge Indicator: The LED on the solar panel will glow solid green when adequately charged.
3. Test Extension: Practice extending, locking, and retracting the pole at a low height.
4. Test Tool Mount: Attach a light accessory and ensure it is secure before lifting.
5. Balance Check: Hold the pole at its balance point (marked on the lower section) for optimal control.

CAUTION! Do not exceed the 25 lb load limit. Never look directly at the solar panel's active surface.

Controls and Operation

Primary controls are the Twist-Lock Collars and the Solar Panel Interface.

Twist-Lock Collars: Rotate clockwise to lock a section in place. Rotate counter-clockwise to unlock and allow adjustment. Ensure an audible "click" is heard when fully locked.

Solar Panel Interface: LED Indicator (Red=Charging, Green=Charged/Ready, Flashing=Error). USB Output Port (for charging tools). Power Button (press to enable/disable output).

Operation Steps: 1. Unlock collars for sections you wish to adjust. 2. Extend or retract to desired length. 3. Lock all collars securely. 4. Position solar panel towards sun. 5. Attach and secure your accessory tool. 6. Use the pole, maintaining awareness of your load and surroundings.

Attaching Accessories

The Universal Tool Mount accepts standard 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded accessories.

1. Ensure the pole is retracted and securely placed on the ground.
2. Screw your accessory clockwise into the tool mount until hand-tight.
3. Use the included wrench to give a final quarter-turn for security (do not over-tighten).
4. For quick-change accessories, use the mount's quick-release lever (pull to release, push to lock).

Tip: Always perform a tug-test on the accessory before lifting the pole to operational height.

Solar Charging System

Powers cordless tools or USB devices directly via the integrated battery.

1. Charging the Pole: Unfold panel, place in direct sunlight. Red LED will illuminate.
2. Using Stored Power: Press the power button once. Green LED indicates power is available at the USB port.
3. Charging a Device: Connect your device's USB cable to the output port. Charging begins automatically.
4. Battery Protection: System automatically stops output if the battery is too low or too hot.
5. Storage Charge: If storing for >1 month, charge to 50-70% and store in a cool, dry place.

WARNING! Do not attempt to disassemble the solar panel or battery compartment. Keep the panel clean and free of debris for optimal performance.

Safety Features

Load Limit Indicator: A warning label denotes the 25 lb maximum. Twist-Lock Security: Designed to prevent accidental collapse. Solar Panel Overcharge Protection: Built-in circuit prevents battery damage. Non-Conductive Sections: Aluminum construction with non-conductive finish for basic electrical safety near low-voltage lines (NOT for use near high-voltage power lines).

Care & Storage

After each use, retract the pole fully, wipe sections clean with a dry cloth, and unlock all collars before storage. Store in the provided bag in a dry location.

CAUTION! Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Never store the pole in an extended or partially locked state, as this can stress the mechanism.
