  2. Lift smoothly - Extend upward with steady pressure
  3. Listen for the click - Securi-LOK™ will engage automatically
  4. Continue upward - Repeat for each section
  5. Final check - Ensure all sections are locked

Lowering Your Flagpole:

  1. Twist to unlock - Rotate the section slightly (about 1/4 turn)
  2. Press down gently - Apply downward pressure to release lock
  3. Lower smoothly - Guide section down with control
  4. Repeat for each section - Work from top to bottom

Safety Tips:
