Please provide model number, serial number, and/or part number of the product and/or part when you call or

To make assembly of your basketball pole
easier, use the Hardware Identifier on page
2 to identify and sort all fasteners.

Do not tighten hardware until instructed to do so. If
hardware is tightened too soon, mounting holes may not
align and parts may not fit together. Leave locknuts
slightly loose until you are instructed to tighten them.

Read this manual all the way through before
starting to put up your pole. Then read each
step completely before beginning that step.

Some smaller parts may be
shipped inside larger tubes.
Check inside tubes before
assembling or ordering parts.

IMPORTANT! All three pole sections are different.

Use the illustration below to identify correct
sections (note the hole locations). Once sections
are seated together, you will NOT be able to
pull them apart!

2L-6423-03

To put up your pole, you will need the following tools:

" Post Hole Digger " Shovel " Level " Ladder " Tape Measure " Flat & Phillips Screwdrivers
" Hammer " Gravel " Two adjustable wrenches OR two 1/2" Wrenches and two 9/16" Wrenches
" Besides these tools, you will need approximately 1.6 cubic feet (three 80 lb. bags) of concrete to set your pole in the ground.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Before putting any of the pole tubes together, mark
bottom pole (#1) and middle pole (#2) 6 inches from their

top end. (On the bottom pole, the top end is the end with
the single hole in it). See Figure 1.

2. Align the upper pole (#3) with the middle pole (#2) making

sure the two holes near the flange of each pole face the
same direction as shown in figure 2, and slide them
together. Hit tubes on a piece of wood until there is no
more movement or until the bottom of the upper pole
reaches the 6" mark on the middle pole. Then align the
bottom pole (#1) with the middle pole (#2) (make sure
the weld seams in the poles line up) with your 6" mark on
the bottom pole toward the flange of the middle pole
(#2) as shown, and slide the sections together .

Figure 1

IMPORTANT! Make sure the pole sections are
aligned EXACTLY as shown in Figure 2 before
tapping them together! Once sections are seated
together, you will NOT be able to pull them apart!

3. Now lift tubes and pound them on a piece of wood to

secure. Hit the tubes until there is no more movement or
until the bottom end of the upper and middle tubes
reaches the 6 inch mark on the middle and lower tubes
respectively. Hit tubes a minimum of seven times. This is
a friction-locking joint and requires no hardware.

4. NOW MEASURE DOWN FROM MIDDLE HOLE IN TOP
POLE 102 INCHES, AND MAKE A MARK ON BOTTOM
POLE. YOU WILL USE THIS MEASUREMENT IN STEP 20.
SEE ILLUSTRATION BELOW.
