Using your Trekmates walking pole is simple. First, adjust the pole to your desired height by using the easy - to - operate lever locking mechanism. Make sure it's firmly locked in place before you start your hike. Slip your hand through the wide, adjustable wrist strap for better control and support. When walking on different terrains, the multi - grip Eva handle allows you to find the most comfortable hold. For muddy paths, the 32 mm mud baskets will stop the pole from sinking too deep. When you're done with your hike, unlock the lever and fold the pole to its compact 35 - cm length for easy storage and transport. As for maintenance, keep the pole clean after each use. Wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Check the tungsten carbide tips regularly for any signs of wear and replace them if necessary. Also, ensure the lever locking mechanism is functioning properly and lubricate it occasionally to keep it smooth.
