"Adjusting pole length" section. Turn the central section of the hiking pole
slightly against the screw direction. You will hear a loud click.
The cushioning system is now deactivated. Turn the central part of the

adjusting the wrist strap
The size of the wrist strap can be adjusted using the top of the handle
(A) and the button (B). To adjust the strap, slide the top of the handle (A)
forward by using your thumb and index finger on either side of the pole
(see fig. I). The strap is now unlocked and the length can be adjusted.
Pull on the end section underneath to tighten the strap. Pull in the opposi-
te direction to increase the size (see fig. J).
To secure the strap once you have adjusted the size, push the button (see
fig. K). The strap should be adjusted so that it does not dig in when you
grip the handle (see fig. L).
