If ornament is not on flagpole or if you wish to change ornament

  • Securely grasp the 3-inch metal rod that protrudes from the bottom of the top half of the pole.
  • Screw the ornament onto the top of the pole as far as it will go, being careful not to cross thread or over tighten.

To assemble top and bottom of flagpole together

  • Locate notch in open end of lower section
  • Slide 3-inch metal rod that protrudes from the top section into the bottom section, lining up screw with notch in bottom section.
  • Press two sections of pole against each other until flush. CAUTION: Do not jam pole sections together
  • SECURELY GRASP THE ORNAMENT ON THE TOP HALF OF POLE WITH ONE HAND AND THE BOTTOM OF THE POLE IN THE OTHER HAND AND GENTLY TURN THE BOTTOM SECTION IN EITHER DIRECTION, BEING CAREFUL NOT TO OVER TIGHTEN. 
    Note: if you do not hold onto the ornament when turning the bottom section the pole will not go together!
  • The two sections of the pole should now be locked and the top half of pole should spin freely.
