Things to know:

• Don’t try to pull the pull-up banner more than the height of the pole. Otherwise you may damage the retracting mechanism.
• Be careful with the edges of the banner and make sure they are not caught up to the cassette. This could lead to fraying and/or scratching your design.
• When connecting the pole pieces for Economy retractable banners, find the round part inside the hole and stick the pole into it to make sure the banner stands straight.
