Made from anodized aluminum, our Titan Telescoping Flagpoles are sturdy and ready to withstand rain, wind, sleet and snow. That being said, over time there is a possibility you’ll need to replace the inner interlocking sleeves. Good news is, there’s a limited lifetime warranty on these sleeves for original owners! The parts are fully covered by this warranty, all you need to do is pay for shipping. Check out our helpful tips for repairing your flagpole.

Written instructions

Step 1

Assemble your tools! You will need:

• Screwdrivers – star head and flat head
• Pliers
• You may need a lubricant like WD-40 if the pieces are stiff

You will be working with aluminum screws throughout.

Step 2

Gently remove screws from the top ring; remove cap from top of pole; then remove the harnesses (they will slide off at this point).

Hint: leave the ball attached and it will be easier to pull out the top insert.

At this point, your pole should be bare like the below picture.

Step 3

Start from the bottom of the pole and gently remove the screws that hold the insert in place.

Step 4

Use pliers to pull out the bottom insert.

Alternatively, you can tap the pole sections from the top and they will push out the insert.

Step 5

Push the pole sections down from the top until the locking mechanism is exposed.

This will reveal the sponge and the bottom part of the interlocking sleeve.

If the first mechanism is fine, complete Step 6 in order to get to the next pole section, and repeat until the broken part is found.

Step 6

With both flat head and star head screwdrivers, simultaneously and gently remove the post fasteners at the base.

Hint: It’s helpful to have a second person to help hold the pole steady.

If this section is the broken part, slip on the new locking sleeve and reassemble your pole. If you’re going to another section, push the pole through until the next bottom interlocking sleeve is revealed and repeat step 6.

Step 7 & 8

Generally both the top and bottom of your interlocking sleeve will need replacement.

At the top of the removed section of pole, push the pins in and pull out the top of the interlocking sleeve.

HINT: this is where a second set of hands is EXTREMELY helpful!

Congratulations!

You’ve now taken apart your flagpole to find the damaged interlocking sleeve.

Replace damaged interlocking sleeves and reassemble your pole, following these 8 steps in reverse of the way you’ve removed everything. Imagine a video in reverse.

ALWAYS be GENTLE when working with the screws as they can strip easily.
