How to assemble the new pole:
First you need to disassemble the current pole assembly:
- Hook the elastic holding pole sections at the end nearest the broken section and pull out so knot can be undone (or if necessary cut off).
- Release the elastic and pull back through pole sections to the broken section taking care to keep the pole sections in the correct order.
- Remove damaged section.
Cut the new section to same length as damaged section using a hacksaw.
Reassemble pole as follows:
- Replace broken section with new section.
- Using a length of wire fixed to the end of the elastic (e.g. using tape) feed the elastic through all the poles in the correct order and re-knot at end.
