Inspect all contents prior to installation. Report any missing parts to dealer immediately.
Read all instructions before proceeding. Pay special attention to the safety instructions on page 2.
Notice:
Select the location for the concrete base footing using the application chart and Figure 1. Take care to maximize hard
playing surface under and around the goal while minimizing interference with driveway traffic when unit is at the lowest
position. NOTE: Center of pole should be a minimum of 16” from any wall, fence or permanent structure behind the
pole to avoid interference with height adjustment crank.
1. Dig a minimum 20” diameter hole 48” deep. Be sure to bell out the bottom 12” of the hole at least an
additional 4” in diameter. See Figure 1.

2. Thread a 5/8” Hex Nut (G) onto each “J” Bolt (E) leaving at least 2 1/2” of threads exposed above the
5/8” Hex Nut (G). Place each “J” Bolt (E) into the holes of the “J” Bolt Template (J), thread a second
5/8” Hex Nut (G) onto each “J” Bolt (E) and tighten. Make sure a minimum of 2” of thread is exposed
and the legs of the “J” Bolts (E) are pointing toward each other. See Figure 1.

Note:
If your warning label becomes damaged or
lost, call manufacture for a replacement.
The 20” diameter by 48” deep hole will require approximately 1/2 cu. yard of 3000 psi concrete (22-24 60#
bags of pre-mix concrete). Please adjust the amount if the hole is deeper and/or wider. Having enough
concrete before you start will insure proper strength of the footing.
Notice:

3. Drive 36” Rebar (F) into bottom of the hole equally
spaced to form a square. Mix concrete according to
instructions on the bag. It is advantageous to have the
mixture “wet”. This will increase your working time
and allow batches to mix in the hole. Pour the hole full
to ground level. Insert a broomstick or similar device
into the concrete and agitate up and down, REPEAT
SEVERAL TIMES. Insert the “J” Bolt Assembly (E, G
and J) into wet concrete, vibrate assembly as you insert
so the concrete fills in around the “J” Bolts (E). Be
sure the “J” Bolt Template (J) is pressed firmly against
the surface of the wet concrete. The top of the concrete
footing must be flush with playing surface. Make sure
the bolt pattern is parallel to the desired position of the
backboard and edge of playing surface. See Figure 1.
4. Clean excess concrete from edge of hole and level the
concrete from the edge of the “J” Bolt Template (J).
Clean excess concrete from both threads and nuts.
Double check the position and levelness of “J” Bolt
Template (J). Allow footing to cure for seven days
before proceeding.
5. Remove the upper 5/8” Hex Nuts (G) from the “J”
Bolts (E) and remove and discard the “J” Bolt
Template (J). Thread the 5/8” Hex Nuts (G) back onto
the “J” Bolts (E) and finger tighten against the 5/8”
Hex Nuts (G) embedded in the concrete. See Figure 2.
6. Place 5/8” Washers (H) onto “J” Bolts (E). Position
Vertical Pole (A) onto the “J” Bolts (E), the crank
mount bracket is the back of the pole and should be
positioned away from the playing surface. Be careful
not to damage exposed threads on “J” Bolts (E). Install
the 5/8” Washers (H), 5/8” Lock Washers (I) and 5/8”
Hex Nuts (G) onto the “J” Bolts (E) to secure Vertical
Pole (A). See Figure 2.
7. Level the Vertical Pole (A) using the 5/8” Hex Nuts
(G) above and below the base plate. Once Vertical Pole
(A) is level and square to the playing surface tighten
the 5/8” Hex Nuts (G). Press Safety Caps (FF) over the
exposed ends of the “J” Bolts (E). Install Pole Cap
(GG) on the top of Vertical Pole (A). See Figure 2.
8. Use 3/8” X 3/4” Hex Bolts (P) and 3/8” Lock Nuts (Q)
to attach Crank Tabs (K) to the outside of the crank
mount bracket on Vertical Pole (A). See Figure 3.

9. Use the 1/2” Pivot Bolts (R) (BA8250X bolt is 7” long, BA9250X bolt is 8” long), 1/2” Flat Washers
(W), Pole Spacers (L) and 1/2” Lock Nuts (V) to attach Extension Arms (B) to Vertical Pole (A). Tighten
hardware until the Extension Arms (B) stay in any position you put them yet are freely moved by hand.
See Figure 3.
10. Use the 1/2” Pivot Bolts (R), Crank Spacers (O) and 1/2” Lock Nuts (V) to install Crank Extension Tube
(C) onto the Extension Arms (B). Make sure to use the two holes that are 20” center to center on the
Crank Extension Tube (C) and to position a Crank Spacer (O) on each side of the Crank Extension
Tube (C). DO NOT over tighten this hardware as it will cause the Extension Arms (B) to bind. Check
that Extension Arms (B) continue to move freely by hand before proceeding. See Figure 4.
11. Attach Height Adjustment Crank (D) to the Crank Extension Tube (C) using the 1/2” X 3” Hex Bolt (T)
and 1/2” Lock Nut (V). Attach Height Adjustment Crank (D) to the Crank Tabs (K) using the 1/2” X
4 1/2” Hex Bolt (S) and 1/2” Lock Nut (V). Use the Height Adjustment Crank (D) to lower Extension
Arms (B) until they contact the safety stop. CAUTION: Do not attempt to force the Extension Arms (B)
into or past the safety stop. See Figure 5.
12. Use 3/8” X 3/4” Hex Bolts (P) and 3/8” Lock Nuts (Q) to install the Backboard Frame Tabs (N) onto the
Backboard Frame (X). See Figure 6.
13. Attach Backboard Frame (X) onto Extension Arms (B) using 1/2” X 2 1/2” Hex Bolts (U), Backboard
Spacers (M) and 1/2” Lock Nuts (V). Backboard Spacers (M) are positioned to the inside of Extension
Arms (B) for model BA9250X (5” pole). Backboard Spacers (M) should be on the outside of
Extension Arms (B) for model BA8250X (4” pole). See Figure 7.

Backboard Frame (X). See Figure 8
Warning!
Make sure the 1/4” X 3/4” Elevator Bolt (KK) is seated properly into the square hole in the Backboard Frame (X).
Improper installation could cause damage to the Backboard (JJ).
15. Use the 1/4” X 3/4” Elevator Bolt (KK) and 1/4” Hex Nut (LL) to attach Rim Support Plate (Y) to the
Backboard Frame (X). See Figure 8.
16. Install BA32 Rim (HH) onto the Backboard Frame (X) using
hardware provide with the BA32 Rim (HH) See Figure 8.
17. Use the Height Adjustment Crank (D) to raise BA32 Rim
(HH) until you measure 10’ from the top of the BA32 Rim
(HH) to the playing surface. Affix the Rim Label (DD) to the
Height Adjustment Crank (D). Establish a level sight line
from the Rim Label (DD) to the Vertical Pole (A) and affix
the Rim Height Label (EE) to Vertical Pole (A) so that the 10’
height marking is aligned with the horizontal line on the Rim
Label (DD). See Figure 8.
18. Install Pole Padding (II) before play.

Warning!
On all pole systems with a crank on the backside of the pole the center of pole should be a minimum of 22”
from any wall, fence or permanent structure behind the pole to avoid interference with adjusting crank.
Warning!
On Zip Crank and Ultimate Adjustable systems with the crank in the front of the pole the center of the pole
should be a minimum of 10” from any wall, fence or permanent structure behind the pole.
1. Dig a hole a minimum of 20” in diameter and 48” deep. Bell out the bottom 12” of the hole to a diameter
that is at least 4” larger than the diameter of the hole at the top. Digging the hole too big is better than
digging it too small. See Figure A.
2. Prepare the “J” Bolt assembly by first threading a 5/8” Hex Nut (D) on to each “J” Bolt (A) so that
approximately 2-1/2” of thread is protruding above the nut. Place the threaded end of the ”J” Bolt (A)
through the four holes in the Template (C). Thread a second 5/8” Hex Nut (D) onto each “J” Bolt (A) on
the top side of the Template (C). Tighten the nuts on both sides of the Template (C), making sure that the
same length of “J” Bolt (A) (2” minimum) is protruding above the Template (C) in all four corners and
that the “J” Bolt (A) “legs” are pointing toward the center of the Template (C). See Figure A.
3. Before pouring the concrete, make sure you have the required tools available: a level, a broomstick or
similar pole to vibrate the concrete, and a tape measure to correctly place the Template (C).

4. A 20” diameter by 48” deep hole will require approximately 1/2 cubic yard of 3000 psi concrete (22-24
60# sacks of premix concrete). Allow for more if the hole is deeper or wider. Make sure you have enough
concrete before pouring, because allowing a portion to dry before the hole is completely filled will affect
the strength of the footing.
5. You are now ready to complete the most critical portion of the installation. Please note (and avoid) these
COMMON INSTALLATION PROBLEMS:
♦
Proceeded without reading instructions fully.
♦ Stopping short of the required hole size.
♦ Underestimated amount of concrete required, part of base/footing dried before you could finish
pouring.
♦ Just “eyeballed” the squareness of the base, when assembled, the pole and board are not parallel or
square to your driveway/playing surface.
♦ Didn’t allow enough time to correctly complete the project. Setting this base properly ensures the
function and appearance of your system.
♦ Being overanxious to mount the pole and board before the footing was fully cured. (A defective footing
is harder to dig out than to install.)
♦ Damaged threads on J-Bolts making it impossible to install nut.
6. Drive 36” Rebar (B) into the bottom of the hole. Equally space the rebar so that it forms a square.
7. Mix the concrete according to the instructions on the bag. It is a good idea to have the concrete mixture be
“wet”. This will increase your working time and allow batches to mix in the hole. Pour the hole full to
ground level. Insert the broomstick into the wet concrete and agitate it up and down. REPEAT SEVERAL
TIMES.
8. Insert the “J” bolt assembly Template (C) and “J” Bolts (A) into the wet concrete. Be sure the bolt pattern
is parallel with the desired position of the backboard and the edge of the playing surface. Use the tape
measure to double check. Vibrate the assembly as you insert it so the concrete fills in around the “J” Bolts
(A). Be sure the Template (C) is pressed firmly against the surface of the wet concrete. The top of the
concrete footing must be flush with the playing surface.
9. Clean excess concrete from edge of hole and level the concrete from the edge of the Template (C) to the
edge of the hole. Check the level of the “J” Bolts (A) again.
10. ALLOW FOOTING TO DRY FOR SEVEN (7) DAYS. ONLY AFTER CONCRETE HAS CURED FOR
SEVEN DAYS SHOULD YOU PROCEED.
11. Once the concrete is cured you may now remove the upper 5/8” Hex Nuts (D) from the “J” Bolts (A) and
remove and discard the Template (C).
12. Place the 5/8” Hex Nuts (D) you just removed back on each “J” Bolt (A) and finger tighten against the nut
that is embedded in the concrete footing. Install one 5/8” Flat Washer (F) on top of each 5/8” Hex Nut (D).
See Figure B.
13. Install the base of pole over the “J” Bolts (A). Place 5/8” Flat Washers (F), 5/8” Lock Washers (E) and
5/8” Hex Nuts (D) on “J” Bolts (A) to tighten base down. You can level pole if needed by adjusting the
5/8” Hex Nuts (D) above and below the base plate. Make sure all hardware is tight once leveled. Press
Safety Cap (G) over the exposed ends of “J” Bolts (A). You are now ready to finish the installation of your
basketball system. See Figure B.
