I have recently purchase SECO 8.5 ft QLV Prism Pole. I am having trouble keeping the bubble vial in adjustment, it seems go out of adjustment lot more often and easier than other rods I have used. Has any one use found a solution to this, I check adjustment regularly.
Stripped threads?
Same problem, removed the cute bubble and replaced with a clamp on bubble. The clamp can pinch your finger, too.
On my ATV I have started carrying the pole and pod assembly like a horse rider carries a flag.
End on footboard and hold with my hand.
Less vibration to pole and bubble stays adjusted longer.
1. Remove all three leveling screws.
2. Apply a thin layer of locktite-blue to the threads
3. Reinstall and level up.
** the instructions may say to install wet, but given the size of the screws, and how easily they can be stripped, I would let them dry before having locktite bond the screw to the housing.
I agree blue locktite, also make sure that all of the screws are firm - not super tight but good and firm.
