    Pro 2 Loose Spike

    I installed the power pole over the winter and the spike is pretty loose. What do I do to fix this is is it naturally loose.

    Can check the retaining bolts and tighten if they are lose if you can seem to get it tight call powerpole will send you new spike for free.

    I just went through the very same thing. I contacted Power pole with my serial number. They sent me a new spike and a new top knuckle kit. I tried just taking out old spike and replacing the new spike into the existing knuckle but it was still loose so I ended up replacing the knuckle and the new spike it is perfect now!

    P.S. very easy to change out.

    Thank you guy's. Yeah I tried tightening the two bolts but they were already pretty tight and it didn't help.

    Called PP, they are sending me a new spike and Knuckle due to a known issue with the knuckle.
