    10' Blades ?

    I have 2 10' blades that are not closing up all the way. Plenty of fluid in the resivour. Lacking about 2" or 3" from closing completely. Is there any adjustments on these anywhere ? Thanks in advance !!!

    My 10' pole does this too. Multiple emails back and forth with PP. They had me rebuild almost the whole thing (fiberglass pole, both rails, bushing kit). All on their dime. Didn't make any difference. They told me they would be coming up with a fix, but after a few follow-ups, they stated they didn't plan on having a fix for it. They definitely tried hard, but it was never resolved.

    I have the same issue on mine. One seems to lack about an inch or so of closing. I'm having a hard time getting them to operate together too, one always seems to be faster/slowe then the other.

    you can adjust the speed within the app to slow one down or speed one up so they are in sync. check to make sure your pump is not shutting off before the poles fully close if so this is a simple sensitivity adjustment. overtightened hardware can also cause a bing=ding issue keeping them from not only not extending all the way but not closing properly.

    If it is new call the dealership. They should fix it if new.

    My blade does the same thing. It doesn't drop any futhur but just leaves that one to two inch gap. When I am trailering or storing I have a coated wire tie around it. I just don't trust that it will not drop more. On the water it really doesn't bother me. My fluid level is good. Have never thought about bleeding them again but since the process is easy I will give it a try. However I do have a cover coming so my thinking it will keep it all together any ways. Generally I'm not pick about the little things but for some reason this gap annoys me.
