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-6441-02

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

" Post Hole Digger " Shovel " Level " Ladder " Tape Measure " Phillips Head Screwdriver
" 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) 4¼ inches from

their top (tapered) end. (See 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!

Figure 1

2. Lay the middle (#2) and upper (#3) poles on a flat,

level surface. Align the upper pole (#3) with the
middle pole (#2) with your 4¼" mark on the middle
pole toward the flange of the upper pole (#2). Make
sure the two holes near the flange of each pole
face the same direction. Insert two screws (#21)
into bottom hole near flange of each pole as shown
in figure 2, until head of screw contacts the pole.

DO NOT TIGHTEN THESE SCREWS - they are only
for alignment purposes. Scoot the sections

together until they touch, and let the heads of
the protruding bolts rest on the ground, so that
the holes are in perfect alignment. Using a block
of wood at the flanged end of middle pole (#2),
lightly tap with a hammer once to begin seating

poles. Recheck alignment of holes and tap the wood
block several more times, checking alignment after
every tap. See Figure 2. Now lift and pound these
poles together on the block of wood until there is
no movement or until the bottom end of middle
pole reaches the 4¼" mark on bottom pole.

3. Insert the bottom pole section (#1) into the flanged

end of the middle pole section (#2) snugly. Pound
the poles on a piece of wood to secure. Hit the
poles until there is no more movement or until the
bottom end of the upper and middle poles reaches
the 4¼ inch mark on the middle and lower poles
respectively. Hit tubes a minimum of seven times.
This is a friction-locking joint and requires no
hardware. Once the tubes are seated together
properly, remove screws (#21).

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 FIGURE 2a.
