How to Remove and Install a Wishbone on a Telescopic PoleUpdated a day ago

Wishbones may vary slightly in style, but the removal and installation process is consistent across models. This guide walks you through the steps to safely swap one out.

What You'll Need

• Telescopic pole (with attached wishbone)
• Long-nose pliers (optional, for tight fittings)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Detach Any Attachments
   • Remove any brush, vacuum head, or accessory connected to the telescopic pole to expose the wishbone assembly.
2. Locate the Wishbone Tabs
   • Find the tabs on the wishbone that protrude through small locating holes on the pole.
3. Release the Old Wishbone
   • Press both tabs inward simultaneously.
   • While pressing, gently pull the top of the wishbone outward and away from the pole.
   • If the tabs are stiff, use long-nose pliers for better grip and control.
4. Insert the New Wishbone

• Align the new wishbone with the locating holes.
• Push it in until you hear or feel the tabs click securely into place.

✅ Final Checks

• Tug gently on the wishbone to confirm it’s securely installed.
• Reattach any previously removed accessories and test for stability.
