1. Desegin: Remove the poles from the included carrying bag.
2. Extend Sections: Open the quick-lock levers on both sections of the pole. Gently pull the lower shaft out until it reaches your desired length. The poles feature length markings for easy adjustment.
3. Egokitu luzera: For general hiking on flat terrain, your elbow should form a 90-degree angle when holding the pole with the tip on the ground. For uphill, shorten the poles slightly; for downhill, lengthen them. The Ambleside C66 offers double quick adjustment for precise length setting up to 135 cm.
4. Blokeo seguruak: Once the desired length is set, firmly close the quick-lock levers. Ensure they are tight enough to prevent the pole sections from slipping, but not so tight that they are difficult to open. You may need to adjust the tension screw on the lever if it's too loose or too tight.
5. Attach Baskets (Optional): For use in soft ground conditions (e.g., snow, mud), screw the included baskets onto the lower shaft just above the tip.
6. Adjust Wrist Straps: Slide your hand up through the strap from below, then grasp the grip and the strap together. Adjust the strap length so it provides support without being too tight or loose.

Using trekking poles effectively can enhance stability, reduce strain on joints, and improve balance.

• Walking Technique:
  • For general walking, move the opposite pole forward with each step (e.g., left foot, right pole).
  • Plant the pole firmly on the ground slightly ahead of your body.
  • Push off the pole as you step forward, using your arms to assist propulsion.
• Maldan gora: Shorten your poles slightly to maintain a good push-off angle. Use them to propel yourself upwards and maintain rhythm.
• Behera: Lengthen your poles slightly to provide better balance and absorb impact. Place poles ahead of you to brace your descent.
• Zeharkatzen: Adjust the length of each pole independently if traversing a slope, with the uphill pole shorter and the downhill pole longer. Alternatively, use the long EVA grip to hold the uphill pole lower.
