\nSetting up Your Retractable Banners \n<\/h2>
\n
\n \n \n <\/lite-youtube>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>

\nStep 1: Position the Base\n<\/h3>
\n

Take all the parts out of the carrying case and place them on your work surface. Set the banner stand base on the floor where you want your display.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you have a standard retractable banner, turn the stabilizing feet outward to keep the base steady and prevent it from tipping over.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Before you move on, check that the base is on a flat, even surface.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n

\nStep 2: Assemble the Support Pole\n<\/h2>
\n

The support pole holds the banner upright.\u00a0You\u2019ll\u00a0find it stored next to the banner\u2019s aluminum base.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

All our retractable banner poles are joined with bungee cords inside. Just unfold the pole and snap the pieces together.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Place the bottom of the pole into the hole in the banner stand base and make sure it is secure. The pole should stand upright and\u00a0be\u00a0stable.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The premium\u00a0retractable\u00a0banner\u00a0support pole is also telescopic, so you can adjust the\u00a0banner\u2019s\u00a0height accordingly.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n

\nStep 3: Pull the Banner Up From the Base\n<\/h2>
\n

Gently pull the banner graphic up. It is connected to a spring inside the base that pulls it back when you are not using it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Pull the graphic up slowly and evenly so it does not snap back into the base.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n

\nStep 4: Attach the Banner to the Support Pole\n<\/h2>
\n

When the banner is fully extended, connect its top rail to the top of the support pole.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Our banners have a marked slot system, so you can easily hook the top rail onto the pole.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

After you attach it, the banner should stay fully extended and upright.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you have a double-sided deluxe banner, pull up and attach one side first. Then, pull up the second banner and attach it to the same end of the support pole.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n

\nStep 5: Adjust the Display\n<\/h2>
\n

Finally, take a moment to check if the banner is lined up correctly.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Be sure that the banner is straight, fully extended, and centered on the stand\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you have a premium banner, you can adjust your pole\u2019s height slightly to ensure the banner is properly taut.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Your retractable banner stand is now ready to display.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
