BEFORE YOU START!

To ensure optimal playability of backboard system, a close tolerance fit between

the elevator components and hardware is required. Test-fit large bolts into large

holes of elevator tubes, backboard brackets, and triangle plates. Carefully rock

them in a circular motion to ream out any excess paint from holes if necessary.

NOTE: Not all items pictured are included with every model.
