MULTIPLE PIECE FLAGPOLE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL HALYARD POLES
3. DETERMINE THE MATING SECTIONS BY MATCHING THE NUMBERS ON THE BOTTOM AND TOP
SECTIONS OF THE POLE. Each joint has been custom fit and the mated sections have been number
stamped with the same identification number near the adjoining end. If the sections do not have
the same match numbers .... STOP. These sections are not interchangeable. If you have purchased
multiple flagpoles, check to see if various sections have gotten mixed up. If this is not the case,
contact your flag pole representative.
2. THROUGHL Y CLEAN AND LUBRICATE THE OUTSIDE OF THE SPLICING SLEEVE AND THE
INSIDE OF THE TOP SECTION THAT SLIDES OVER THE SLEEVE. It is critical that the mating
surfaces, the outside of the sleeve and the inside of the top section that slides over it be
clean and smooth with no burrs or abrasions. Lubricate the sleeve and inner surface
with liquid soap. Do not use grease, oil or any petroleum product as it will seep out of
the joint and stain the shaft. Keep the finished surfaces free of hand prints and excess
lubricants.
3. SLIDE THE UPPER SECTION ONTO THE SPLICING SLEEVE OF THE LOWER SECTION. MAKE
SURE THE MATCH MARKS LINE UP WHILE THE SECTIONS ARE BEING PUT TOGETHER.
Some force may be required to fully seat the sections together. In the event a
sledgehammer is used in the final fitting process, use extreme care to protect the
aluminum surface by using thick wooden blocks to absorb direct shock.
