Hi Mark
As Darran said, but to elaborate further.....
From time to time the positive stops will wear out and need replacing. Here are our standard instructions for replacing if needed:
To replace you will need some PVC insulating/electrical tape.
1. Undo lever assembly on the clamp and remove - pull out the section completely.
2. Clean and dry the lower 20cm of the section.
3. At 130mm up from the base of the section wrap the insulating tape around the section - do this one complete wrap around and about another quarter of a wrap, then cut the tape and neatly press down.
4. Using a small Allen key (or similar) prise the two clamp jaws apart and slide the section back in - You will need to be very careful as you slide the tape past the jaws of the clamp.
5. Slide the section fully back in and re-assemble the lever assembly.
You will have completely replaced the joint-stop by doing this. You will find as the pole ages that this may become needed on other sections.
