Title: carbon pole froze
Post by: s.hughes on December 02, 2010, 05:33:35 am

My carbon pole froze up yestarday, the water was still running up I couldnt retract the pole itself. I was spraying anti-freeze all over it and at one pont it took 20 mins to get one section down.
Nightmare!!!

Mine froze up at full stretch - 44'
Had to open the van windows and lay it through the cab with the heater flat out to thaw it out bit by bit  ;D
