Symbols

The following symbol is used throughout this User Manual

and on the product.

This symbol on the product indicates that

there is a safety hazard or an operation

requiring care to avoid damage to the product

or environment. You must read the

appropriate sections of the User Manual to

understand the nature and severity of all the

potential hazards present and the action you

must take.

• Never allow an extended pole section to collapse uncontrolled. Risk of injury and equipment damage.

• Do not create trip hazards by leaving poles unattended in public spaces and avoid leaving poles extended when not in

use (against walls, across desks etc.). Risk of injury and equipment damage.

• Solo poles are not specied for use in high voltage areas. Risk of injury and equipment damage.

• When working at height it is recommended that a competent person carries out a suitable risk assessment. This will

identify any risk to the user and/or the environment, or other safety measures, and hence any need for Personal

Protective Equipment (PPE).

• Do not use Solo poles if unable to control their use properly e.g. when fatigued. Risk of injury and equipment damage.

It is recommended that Solo poles are inspected before and after use and if any signs of damage, abnormal wear or

Using

Solo Access Poles

Figure 1

• Solo poles should always be held vertically when

raising or lowering. Ensure that all extension poles

and test tool buttons are locked into position before

extension and use. (Fig.1)

• When using Solo 111 extension poles in conjunction

with Solo 110 telescopic pole, the telescopic pole

should be at the shortest length, i.e. not extended,

before attaching or removing the Solo 111 extension

pole(s) or tool.

• No more than 3 x Solo 111 extension poles should

be used at the same time (see General

Recommendations for height & angle advice).

• When lowering, always hold in the vertical. Lower

telescopic sections rst, before removing Solo 111

extensions.

• When lowering telescopic poles, rest the base of the

pole on the oor and depress the locking button,

while lowering the upper sections with the other

hand.

General Recommendations

The maximum working height using Solo 110 & Solo 111

poles is 4.5 metres for Solo and Testire.This is achieved

using 1 x Solo 110 telescopic pole and a maximum of 3

x Solo 111 extension poles. It is recommended to stand

directly under the detector (pole vertical).

If vertical working is not possible, do not exceed 3.75m

reach and stand no more than 1 metre away from a point

directly beneath the detector. (Fig. 2)

Tips to prevent user fatigue

• Stand with one foot half a stride ahead of the other to

increase balance and reduce strain.

• Where possible, share testing workload with others.

• Alternate using the poles between the left and right

hand side of the body.

• Take regular breaks.

Use with Testire 25 Remote Control (Fig. 3)

Storage and Maintenance

Solo poles which are not in use should always be returned

to protective storage bag. (Fig. 4)

Solo poles can be wiped clean using a damp cloth. Only

mild detergents or water may be used. (Fig. 5)

Solo poles are covered by a limited lifetime warranty.

Accidental damage or user modication will invalidate this

warranty.

Disposal (End of Life Statement)

classied as Non-Hazardous Waste and can be disposed of

at municipal or industrial landll when in compliance with
