Troubleshooting

Autopole does not grip the ceiling/floor securely

Ensure the surfaces are clean, flat, and free from dust or moisture. Extend the pole further to increase tension, or check if the height is within the 1.5m to 2.7m range.

Autopole feels wobbly or unstable

Re-extend the Autopole to ensure maximum tension. Verify that the pole is perfectly vertical. Avoid placing excessive weight on the pole that exceeds its intended load capacity.

Difficulty extending or retracting the Autopole

Check for any obstructions or dirt within the telescopic sections. Gently twist and pull/push while ensuring the locking mechanism is disengaged. Avoid forcing it.

Extend the Autopole by twisting the sections until it reaches the desired height within its 1.5 to 2.7-meter range.
