Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Extend the poles by loosening the Super Lock System (SLS) levers.
- Adjust each pole to your desired length, ensuring it is comfortable for your height and the terrain (typically, when the pole is held upside down with the tip on the ground, your elbow should be at a 90-degree angle).
- Firmly close and lock the SLS levers. You should feel a secure click and the levers should be tight.
- Adjust the Lock System Strap to fit snugly around your wrist. The strap can be threaded through the grip for a secure fit.
Compatibility:
The LEKI® EAGLE poles are designed for general hiking, trekking, and mountain excursions. The Flex Tip is compatible with various terrains, providing good traction. Replacement tips or baskets (if needed) are typically available from LEKI dealers.
Care:
- After each use, especially in wet conditions, wipe the poles down with a damp cloth.
- Ensure the poles are completely dry before storing them to prevent corrosion.
- Periodically check the SLS levers for proper function and tightness. Clean any dirt or debris from the locking mechanism.
- Store the poles in a dry place, ideally in a protective bag, to prevent scratches and damage.
