CAUTION: Inspect poles before and after use. Do not use if signs of damage, abnormal wear, or modification are found.
WARNING: Avoid creating trip hazards and do not leave poles extended when not in use.
WARNING: Do not use in high voltage areas.
WARNING: Conduct a risk assessment before working at height. Use Personal Protective Equipment if needed.
WARNING: Do not use if unable to control properly.

Using Solo Poles:

Solo poles should be held vertically when raising or lowering.
Ensure all extension poles and test tool buttons are locked before use.

Tips to prevent user fatigue

TIP 1: Stand with one foot half a stride ahead for balance.
TIP 2: Share testing workload with others when possible.
When using Solo 101 extension poles with telescopic poles, ensure the telescopic pole is not extended when attaching or removing extensions.
No more than 3 x Solo 101 extension poles should be used simultaneously.
When lowering, hold in the vertical position. Lower telescopic sections first before removing extensions.
TIP 3: Alternate using the poles between left and right sides of the body.
TIP 4: Take regular breaks.

Use with Testifire 25 Remote Control:

WARNING: Momentarily release one hand from the pole to activate the remote control.
When lowering telescopic poles, rest the base on the floor and depress the locking button while lowering the upper sections with the other hand. Take extra care.

General Recommendations

The maximum working height using Solo poles is 9 metres for Solo and Testifire.This is achieved using 1 x Solo 100 telescopic pole and a maximum of 3 x Solo 101 extension poles. It is recommended to stand directly under the detector (pole vertical), when a maximum reach of 9m can be obtained. If vertical working is not possible, do not exceed 6m reach and stand no more than 1.5m away from a point directly beneath the detector. Trutest should always be used in the vertical position and at heights of no more than 6m, using a maximum of only 1 x Solo 101 extension pole with Solo 100.

Storage and Maintenance

Solo poles which are not in use should always be returned to protective storage bag (Solo 602). Solo poles can be wiped clean using a damp cloth. Only mild detergents or water may be used. Solo poles are covered by a limited lifetime warranty. Accidental damage or user modification will invalidate this warranty.

Solo poles are manufactured from fibreglass (GRP) and are classified as Non-Hazardous Waste and can be disposed of at municipal or industrial landfill when in compliance with local regulations.
DO NOT burn, incinerate, or cut into pieces.
Dispose as a whole.
