How to adjust your Activator 2 poles. 

Adjusting Your ACTIVATOR 2 Poles:
Extend poles: Open both flip-locks tabs (grey). Pull below flip-lock to extend the middle and lower sections. Lower section may be stiff to pull initially.
Set pole length: Adjust the pole length so that you can stand with your elbow bent at slightly less than a 90 degree angle with your hand resting on the ledge of the CoreGrip and the bell tip resting on the ground.
Secure button lock A-B: Looking at holes A and B in the middle section, turn the lower section of the pole until you see the white stripe in the holes marked A and B. Pull on the lower section of the pole until the button locks into hole A or B.
Secure button lock 1-6: Repeat above securing the button lock in a hole marked 1-6 in the upper section. Confirm pole length and close flip-lock tabs. Collapsing: open the flip-lock tab, push the button lock and at the same time push in the section Close flip-lock tab.
