Raise it very carefully the first time. Your pole pivots on its own hinge, as it is not attached to the mast directly, so the geometry will change a bit as the mast tilts up or down. Just watch that and pay attention to the halyard tension (attached to the top of the pole end) and the lifting line tension on its lower end.
Also, hard to judge, but the pole looks pretty long - when along the deck, does the forward end fit inside the forestay?
