Maintenance Tips

• Rinse After Saltwater Use – Wash poles with fresh water after each outing to remove salt and grime that can accelerate wear.
• Clean With Mild Soap – Use marine‑safe soap and a soft cloth; avoid harsh solvents that can damage carbon fiber finish or protective coatings.
• Lubricate Moving Sections – Lightly apply a marine‑safe lubricant on the telescoping mechanism and cam cleat to maintain smooth extension and retraction.
• Inspect Locking & Cam Cleat – Regularly check the locking collar, cam cleat, and fasteners for tightness, corrosion, or wear to ensure secure shade positioning.
• Protect From UV Exposure – Although UV‑protected, occasional vinyl or carbon fiber safe protectant helps preserve finish when stored outside.
• Dry Before Storage – Allow poles to dry fully before placing in the mesh carrying bag to prevent mold or corrosion.
