How do I clean a pole?

Chrome, Titanium Gold and Stainless SteelX-CLEAN and a soft fibre cloth (neat vodka works too).

Brass – A clean and dry microfibre cloth.

Powder Coat – Carefully remove any loose deposits with a wet sponge and use a soft fibre cloth, with a little mild household detergent, then rinse with clean water.

Which Size Hoop/Lyra Should I Choose?

Our hoop diameters are inside to inside edge. We recommend that you sit on a chair, with good posture and have someone measure from the seat of your chair to the top of your head. Then add 5cm (50mm) and select the Hoop/Lyra closest to that measurement for a good fit – Aerial Hoop Measuring Guide Sheet

How do I add an extension?

How do I know what extensions I need?

You will need to measure from the floor to the ceiling in the place where you intend to use the pole and then review the appropriate height chart for the pole to ascertain what extension you will need to reach your desired height. This video shows you how to measure your floor to ceiling height:

Where are the X-JOINT’s in my pole set?

X-JOINT’s are supplied inside the extensions of your set.

Can I adjust the height of the pole on my X-STAGE?

While the X-STAGE pole can not be made taller, it can be made shorter by using an NE extension.

To work out which extension you will require, follow this formula:

Your floor-to-ceiling height in millimetres – 1500mm – 135mm and then round down to the nearest extension (500mm, 750mm or 1000mm).

e.g. 2500mm – 1500mm – 135mm = 875mm (round down to 750mm)

I have set up the XPERT/XPERT Pro set and the spin is uneven – what is wrong?

Check your manual first! The most common cause for this is the positioning of the ceiling dome and base, see pages 11-13 of your manual. Firstly, the dome must be positioned directly underneath a ceiling joist – with the joist lined up to run down the center of the dome. If the dome is off-center to the joist it will push up on one side when installed and cause an uneven spin.

Secondly, the pole must be completely vertical – so the base must be positioned correctly underneath the dome. Use a spirit level if you are unsure if your pole is straight.
