Where are the X-JOINT's in my pole set?

X-JOINT's are supplied inside the extensions of your set.

I have set up the XPERT/XPERT Pro set and the spin is uneven - what is wrong?

Check your manual first! The most common cause for this is the positioning of the ceiling dome and base, see pages 11-13 of your manual. Firstly, the dome must be positioned directly underneath a ceiling joist - with the joist lined up to run down the center of the dome. If the dome is off-center to the joist it will push up on one side when installed and cause an uneven spin. Secondly, the pole must be completely vertical - so the base must be positioned correctly underneath the dome. Use a spirit level if you are unsure if your pole is straight.
