Flagpole With Pulley

• 1). Unfold the flag, being careful not to let it touch the ground.
  
  
• 2). Connect the flag to the flagpole's rope-and-pulley system by clipping the hooks on the rope through the eyelets on the interior edge of the flag. Be careful to ensure the flag will be raised right-side up.
  
  
• 3). Pull the free end of the rope while holding the flag above the ground. Winch the rope hand over hand until the flag reaches the top of the flagpole.
  
  
• 4). Tie off the rope to the base of the flagpole or to the cleat on the side of the flagpole.
