Hiking Poles Setup Guide

How to Set Up Foldable Hiking Poles

Simple steps to get your TERRAN Foldable Carbon Hiking Poles ready for the trail.

Getting your foldable hiking poles ready is quick and simple once you know how the locking system works. This guide will show you how to unfold, lock, and adjust your poles properly before your next hike. Using the poles correctly from the start helps keep them secure, stable, and comfortable on the trail.

Step 1: Unfold The Pole Sections

Carefully remove the pole from its folded position and let the sections extend naturally. Make sure all sections are fully straightened and aligned before moving on to the next step.

Step 2: Extend The Lower Section

Pull the lower section down until the metal locking button clicks into place. This button is designed to lock the pole sections together. Once it pops through the hole, the lower part of the pole should be secured properly.

Before using the pole, check that the metal button is fully visible through the hole. This is important because if the button has not come all the way through, the pole may not be locked securely.

Step 3: Check the Lock Button

Step 4: Adjust The Height

Use the upper section of the pole to adjust the length to suit your height and walking style. Once you have the right height, tighten the locking mechanism firmly. Depending on the model, this may be a clamp lock or twist lock.
