Raising and Lowering Your Flagpole
The Phoenix telescoping design makes flag changes easy and safe.
Raising Your Flagpole:
- Start from the bottom - Grasp the lowest visible section
- Lift smoothly - Extend upward with steady pressure
- Listen for the click - Securi-LOK™ will engage automatically
- Continue upward - Repeat for each section
- Final check - Ensure all sections are locked
Lowering Your Flagpole:
- Twist to unlock - Rotate the section slightly (about 1/4 turn)
- Press down gently - Apply downward pressure to release lock
- Lower smoothly - Guide section down with control
- Repeat for each section - Work from top to bottom
