How to Install Baskets on Your Mountain King TrailBlaze & SkyRunner Poles
Installing your new baskets is quick and easy! Follow these simple steps to get them securely in place:
Step 1:
Remove the black plastic tip protector (Do not throw away, keep for when storing poles away to avoid scratching and damaging items around them)
Step 2:
Soften the Basket (Optional but Recommended) To make initial installation easier, place the basket in hot (not boiling) water for about 30 seconds. This softens the plastic, making it more flexible. (Do not place the bottom of the pole into the hot water)
Step 3:
Align the Basket. Take the softened basket and align it with the threaded section at the bottom of your pole.
Step 4:
Screw It On
Turn the basket clockwise, just like screwing in a light bulb. Keep twisting until it's firmly in place.
Step 5:
Check the Fit
Give the basket a gentle tug to ensure it’s secure. If it feels loose, tighten it a little more.
