How to use

Position the support rod vertically between the floor and the surface to be supported. Extend the inner tube until the rod reaches the required height, then engage the locking mechanism to secure the chosen length. Ensure both end plates sit flat and the rod is perpendicular to the supported surfaces. For removal, release the lock, retract the inner tube and remove the rod once the supported element is self-supporting or permanent fixings are in place.

Usage recommendations

Before each use, inspect the rod for damage, deformation or excessive wear. Use the support rod on stable, level contact points and avoid overloading beyond its intended temporary support capacity. When working on uneven surfaces, use appropriate shims or plates to ensure even bearing. Store the rod clean and dry to prevent corrosion and maintain reliable locking action.
