21. Use wedge to tap cap of ground sleeve until tight.

22. Install net clips (42).

The Quick Clip™ rapid release net system lets the net pull away from the rim. This reduces the risk of player injury or property damage. However, improper installation or a ball making contact at an odd angle may disengage the net clip from the goal rim. Usually, the clip is reinstalled with little or no problem. We hope that you agree this inconvenience is minor when compared to the safety of the players. Quick Clip: US Patent No. 5,792,010/5,795,253.

The two outer hooks on net clip must face towards inside of goal rim. Insert larger hole in net clip onto rim stud, push down on net clip, then slide net clip right, locking or snapping securely into position (clips must "snap" into place to insure a secure fit). NOTE: Net clips should not slide with ease. It is very important that the net clips are in the locked position before going on to next step.
