Tips: How to maintain prism pole?
- Keep the pole clean. Dirt and debris can build up on the pole over time, which can affect the accuracy of measurements. Use a soft cloth or brush to wipe down the pole regularly, and be sure to clean the prism and target as well.
- Check for damage. Before and after each use, inspect the pole for any signs of damage, such as cracks or dents. If you notice any damage, don't use the pole until it's been repaired or replaced.
- Lubricate the locking mechanisms. The locking mechanisms on the pole should move smoothly and securely. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the locking mechanisms if they start to feel stiff or sticky.
- Store the pole properly. When not in use, store the pole in a dry, cool place where it won't be exposed to extreme temperatures or moisture. Keep it away from direct sunlight and any sources of heat, such as radiators or heaters.
