ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Figure 1
1. Before putting any of the pole tubes together, mark
bottom pole (#1) and middle pole (#2) 6 inches from their
top end. (On the bottom pole, the top end is the end with
the single hole in it).  See Figure 1.
2. Align the upper pole (#3) with the middle pole (#2) making
sure the two holes near the flange of each pole face the
same direction as shown in figure 2, and slide them
together. Hit tubes on a piece of wood until there is no
more movement or until the bottom of the upper pole
reaches the 6" mark on the middle pole. Then align the
bottom pole (#1) with the middle pole (#2) (make sure
the weld seams in the poles line up)  with your 6" mark on
the bottom pole toward the flange of the middle pole
(#2) as shown, and slide the sections together .
IMPORTANT! Make sure the pole sections are
aligned EXACTLY as shown in Figure 2 before
tapping them together! Once sections are seated
together, you will NOT be able to pull them apart!

3. Now lift tubes and pound them on a piece of wood to
secure. Hit the tubes until there is no more movement or
until the bottom end of the upper and middle tubes
reaches the 6 inch mark on the middle and lower tubes
respectively. Hit tubes a minimum of seven times. This is
a friction-locking joint and requires no hardware.
4. NOW MEASURE DOWN FROM MIDDLE HOLE IN TOP
POLE 102 INCHES, AND MAKE A MARK ON BOTTOM
POLE. YOU WILL USE THIS MEASUREMENT IN STEP 20.
