Thanks Alex been using an Elite for almost 2yrs now so just want to be prepared like a boy scout . Thanks again Mike

It is always good to be prepared.

One of the things I learned early on with WFP is to keep spares!

I now always keep a spare pump for each operator, complete set of spare connectors and fittings. I also always try to have a full tool kit on board and a faithful roll of insulating tape - good for electrical, water or fixing issues.

I usually have a spare pole on board as well just in case I leave one behind somewhere or it gets run-over - never happened, but you never know.

The pole weights are just for the poles - including the end-cap and full clamp assemblies.
Brush weights are listed separately and will vary depending on the brush chosen.

I had a pole run over once.

Alex may you can put this in your sales manifesto

"If you SLX should happen to get run over by a Toyota Hilux, fear not, because only the base section will split abit. You can feel contented, that you pole will not be crushed, but rather, will lift one wheel up of the ground"

Feel free to use that pithy quote

This will be the Nylock on the new bolts being slightly tight. When initially setting the clamps up (although they should have come correctly adjusted for first use) you may need to use a pair of pliers to tighten to exactly the right point. Once set you should not need to adjust this for a long time. As the pole ages these Nylock bolts will become less tight and easier to adjust using just your fingertips.

What can also help greatly is to tighten up and undo the bolt 2 or 3 times with pliers as this wears off the 'edge' from the Nylock and should make them adjustable with fingertips for future use.

I'm going to work my slx till there's noting left of it!  :D

My slx 25 must be getting onto 3 year old now - given it so much stick but it's still going !!
It's been dropped, thrown, abused in sand, rarely cleaned but still going !

I have just treated it to a full set of clamps.
It's shorter due to top and bottom of each section being trimmed bout a couple inches.
It's thinner after all the work it's done.

It has no end stop on section 2, this is because I use it as short caravan brush with different brush head.

I've loved it so much I just bought a slx35.
It doesn't feel that much heavier, or more awkward to work with.

The pole is much numptyblier / ribbed !! Trying to remember if the 25 was like that new ??
