FAQs

What fruits can I pick with the Darlac Swop Top Fruit Picker?

The fruit picker is suitable for apples, pears, most plums, and other fruits. It is important to consider the fruit size and fragility.

Is the pole included?

No, the Darlac Swop Top Pole is sold separately. The fruit picker head is designed to attach to the Swop Top pole.

How do I clean the fruit picker?

Wipe the head with a damp cloth after each use. Ensure it's stored in a dry place to prevent rust.

What is the weight capacity of the bag?

The bag capacity depends on the size and type of fruit being harvested. Be mindful not to overload the bag to prevent damage to the fruit.

How do I store the fruit picker?

Store the fruit picker in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prolong its life.

What if the fruit picker head breaks?

Darlac offers replacement parts, please contact their customer service for details or visit the official Darlac website to order replacement parts.

Troubleshooting

Fruit is falling before reaching the bag.

Ensure the 'fingers' are fully around the fruit stem before pulling. Adjust your technique to gently remove the fruit.

The fruit picker head is not attaching to the pole securely.

Check the connection mechanism on the pole and the fruit picker head. Make sure that they are properly aligned and that the click-in mechanism is engaged.
