STEP 1 - CONTINUED
The upper set of (#3) nuts and (#4) washers can be hand threaded onto the (#2) L-Bolts to prevent them from being lost.
• Thread the 1st (#3) nut onto each of the four (#2) L-Bolts
leaving 3” of the thread exposed above the (#3) nut as illustrated in Image 2.
• Insert each (#2) L-Bolt into the (#1) template and secure
with (#3) nuts as shown in Image 1 on the previous page. Tighten the top (#3) nut to prevent the bolts from moving.
• The remaining hardware is not necessary at this point and
can be placed on the (#2) L-Bolts above the (#1) template to prevent them from being lost.
STEP 2 - DIG THE HOLE
• Before you dig conrm that all underground utilities have
been marked and that you understand the markings.
• Irrigation lines, invisible fence wires etc. are not considered
an underground utility and will not be marked by the (811) technician.
• Determine your hole location keeping in mind the overhang
of the backboard in relationship to the face of the pole and the overall playing area of your driveway or slab.
• Dig a square hole that measures at least 48” deep with
a diameter of at least 16 inches and is square with the driveway/slab and/or playing area. *Keep in mind the top of the anchor (#1) template should be set level with the playing surface to ensure the rim will reach the regulation 10’ playing height.

STEP 3 - MIX THE CONCRETE
• Put concrete in the wheel barrow and add water per the instructions on the bag. Working quickly, thoroughly mix the
concrete with the mortar hoe. You’ll want the concrete to be the consistency equivalent to a 6” slump.
• Insert the #40 reinforcement bar pushing each stick to the bottom of the hole after a couple of bags of concrete have
been mixed and placed in the hole.
• Working quickly, continue to mix and add concrete until the hole is lled to the top of the cardboard or wooden form.
*You must work quickly as the concrete has the potential to setup before you have an opportunity to insert the anchor into the wet concrete as detailed in Step 4.
Note: Wet concrete has the potential to setup very quickly depending on several conditions. These conditions include but are not limited to:
• Air temperature, humidity and the exposure to direct sunlight.
STEP 4 - INSERT THE ANCHOR
• Place the anchor in the center of the hole square with the driveway/slab and/or playing area and press it down into
the wet concrete until the template is resting on top of the wet concrete. Note: The four (#3) nuts located below the (#1) template will be embedded in the concrete.
• It is important that the anchor is both level side-to-side as well as front-to-back.
• Check often over the next 30 minutes with a level to ensure that the anchor has not moved from its intended position.
DAY 2-4
ALLOW THE CONCRETE TO CURE
• Allow the concrete to cure a minimum of 72 hours.
• Cooler temperatures may require additional cure time.

Stainless steel hardware will commonly lock up or seize on itself before being fully tightened. It is important to apply a small
amount of grease or an anti-seize lubricant designed for stainless steel hardware before threading on the nut.
Experienced Installer Tip: A great deal of success has been had using the spray adhesive as an anti-seize lubricant during the
assembly process. Simply apply the spray adhesive to the bolt threads before threading on the nut and tighten with hand tools as
you normally would.
STEP 1 - PREPARE ANCHOR
• Remove the (#3) nuts, (#4) washers and the (#1) template from the (#2) L-Bolts leaving the four (#3) nuts that are located below
the (#1) template as they will be forever embedded in concrete.
• Thread one (#3) nut all the way down on to each (#2) L-Bolt resting against the nuts embedded in the concrete.
• Lay a level across each pair of (#3) nuts leveling them from front-to-back and left-to-right.
• Place a (#4) washer on top of each (#3) nut after leveling.

STEP 3 - POLE ASSEMBLY - LOWER ARM
With the jack ears still facing up, position the base plate of the pole inline with the anchor and up against the front set of anchor bolts. Prop the pole up on a padded saw horse or a folding ladder as shown in Image 5 to complete the following.
Note: It is very important that the installer understands the importance of the bushing assembly. A properly assembled bushing will not only protect the painted parts during adjustment, but will provide a smooth and quiet operating system.
• Attach the lower Y-arm to the pole as shown in Image 5 using one (#17) bolt, one (#9) stainless washer, two (#8) ABS washers, one
(#10) stainless steel tube and one (#11) white nylon tube per side of the lower arm.
Note: Do not fully tighten the (#17) bolts at this time. These bolts will be tightened once the jack has been attached to the rear portion of the arm in (Step 6).

STEP 4 - POLE ASSEMBLY - UPPER ARMS
• Attach the upper arms to the pole as shown in Image 6 using one (#18) bolt, two (#9) stainless steel washers, four (#8) ABS washers,
2 (#25) gray nylon tubes and one (#19) nut. Tighten bolts snug, but do not over tighten.
Experienced Installer Tip: Do not apply anti-seize or spray adhesive to the threads of the bolt until after it has passed thru the top of the pole. Doing so beforehand will cause any leftover production debris to stick to the threads of the bolt. Dirty threads will cause the stainless hardware to lock up or seize. Once a nut and bolt seizes, it must be cut apart and replaced.

STEP 5 - POLE ASSEMBLY - LOWER JACK ATTACHMENT
• Locate and unwrap the jack leaving the plastic zip tie intact.
• Attach the (#22) handle to the (#6) jack with (#23) retainer clip. Turn the handle 10-12 revolutions partially extending the jack.
• Attach the (#6) jack to the (#5) jack ears using one (#16) bolt, one (#9) stainless washer, one (#25) gray nylon tube, and 2 (#8) ABS
washers per side of the jack as shown in Image 7.
Experienced Installer Tip: When attaching the jack to the jack ears it helps to rst insert the (#25) gray nylon tube into the (#5) jack ear centering it on the ear. Apply a small amount of spray adhesive to the smooth side of the (#8) ABS washers and slide them over the (#25) gray nylon tube adhering them to the (#5) jack ears. This will prevent the (#8) ABS washers from getting jostled o of the (#25) gray nylon tubes during assembly.
• Rest the top of the (#6) jack on the pole protecting the painted surface with a small piece of packing foam or cardboard. You may
fully tighten the (#16) bolts at this time.

STEP 6 - POLE ASSEMBLY - UPPER JACK ATTACHMENT
• Remove the plastic zip tie from the (#6) jack and insert the (#7) jack pin as shown in Image 8.
Experienced Installer Tip: Located in both ends of the (#7) jack pin is a small amount of grease. Evenly apply a little bit of the grease to the rubber grommets located on both sides of the (#6) jack before inserting the (#7) jack pin. This will allow the pin to slide a little smoother thru the grommets thus preventing the grommets from rolling out of place. Now is also a great time to insert the two (#11) white nylon tubes into the (#3) lower arm allowing a small portion to extend out each side of the arm. It is also benecial to apply a small amount of spray adhesive to the smooth side of the four (#8) ABS washers and slide them over the two (#11) white nylon tubes adhering them to the sides of the (#3) lower arm.
• Attach the (#6) jack and (#7) jack pin to the lower arm using one (#17) bolt, one (#9) stainless steel washer, two (#8) ABS washers,
one (#10) stainless steel tube and one (#11) white nylon tube as shown in Image 8 below. Fully tighten both (#17) bolts as well as both (#17) bolts from Step 3.

Experienced Installer Tip: Pre-install the four (#24) gray nylon tubes into the ends of the (#4) upper and (#3) lower arms. Apply a small amount of spray adhesive to the smooth side of eight (#8) ABS washers. Slide the (#8) ABS washers over the (#24) gray nylon tubes and adhere them to both sides of the (#4) upper and (#3) lower arm tabs.
• Adjust the height of the (#3) lower arm to its lowest point.
• With at least four capable adults, raise the (#2) backboard into position while the fth person attaches the (#2) backboard to the (#3)
lower arm using the hardware shown in Image 10. This is a pivot point. Do not over tighten these bolts.
• Raise the top of the (#2) backboard up and into position and attach the (#4) upper arms using the hardware shown in Image 10.
This is a pivot point. Do not over tighten these bolts.

STEP 9 -BACKBOARD ATTACHMENT
• Now that the backboard is attached, take a moment to check to see if the backboard is square to the playing area.
• If any adjustment needs to be made, simply loosen the four (#3) nuts from Step 7 ever so slightly and rotate the pole on the anchor.
DO NOT completely remove any of the (#3) nuts.
• Once the backboard is square with the playing area tighten the four (#3) nuts completely.
Experienced Installer Tip: As you tighten the four (#3) nuts completely, check the backboard to see if it is plumb. Place a level on the face of the glass running from top to bottom and on the side of the backboard on the outside of the aluminum trim. The four (#3) nuts located below the baseplate of the pole can be adjusted to ne tune the backboard. Once you are satised, double check to make sure the four (#3) nuts are tight.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
The longevity of your Ball Hog basketball system depends on several variables. The climate in which it is installed, exposure to corrosives such as salt, chemicals including but not limited to herbicides and pesticides as well as organic materials can all contribute to deterioration.
For safety reasons the following should be checked on a regular basis.
• Clean both sides of the backboard as needed with only a clean 100% cotton
cloth and regular household glass cleaner.
• Inspect all nuts and bolts and tighten as necessary.
• Inspect the entire assembly for chipped paint and signs of rust. It’s not
uncommon for parts to be mishandled during the unpacking and installation process. If rust should appear, remove any loose paint, lightly sand the area, apply a quality primer and paint with a quality exterior gloss protective enamel such as Rust-Oleum.
• Inspect the base of the pole for organic materials such as mulch, grass
clippings, top soil etc. as these items will trap moisture potentially damaging the paint.
• The Ball Hog height adjustment mechanism “jack” is pre-lubricated and built
in such a way that the internal components are shielded. No post installation lubrication is necessary.
• The goal should not be adjusted above or below the heights indicated on
the height adjustment decal. All adjustments should be made under adult supervision.
