Now for the Elastic

This will show you how to tie a 'Crows Foot' instead of using a plastic connector

Firstly, form a loop and tie a double figure eight loop knot...

Wet the elastic and pull tight to close the knot...
So your knot looks like this
Then cut across the loop and trim the loose end to 1centimetre. The result being a Crows Foot
Remove the bush and thread this on your elastic first making sure you have it the right way round, then slide the elastic into the top of your section, right the way through, and out of the end.

Once you've got to the end push the Bush back into place

When the elastic is out of the other end, tie a figure eight loop into it, close to the end of the pole...
..as such
Place this onto your Winder bung and wind on a few coils until you have tension, then guide it into the pole
At this stage it's best to stretch the elastic from the tip end until you have pulled it out to it's limit.

Release it slowly and then go back to the Winder Bung and re-tension it to remove any slack

Job done, now the Pole Cup.....

To fit a Pole Cup again lay your Cupping Kit alongside your top sections as you'll need to cut it back so that they are the same length
Make allowances for the length of the cup when doing so and don't forget you'll need a tight fit.

To get this offer the cup up against the top section and mark on the Cupping Kit the position of the connector; you need to ensure that the middle of the cup is level with the end of your pole top sections

Cut the Cupping Kit with the Junior Hacksaw as earlier and push the connector on.

If it is too tight a fit, don't force it but drill the connector to make it slightly larger. Some Pole Cups come with different sized connectors

Finished, the Cupping Kit should now be the same length as your top sections and this will ensure accurate feeding
Finished job...
