1 Introduction

This user guide describes how to install the Jaypro Max-1 football goal post models FBGP-920AX and FBGP-420AX. The telescoping feature of the crossbar allows the Max-1 foot ball goal post to be set at either 23’-4’’ between uprights for the official High School use or 18’ 6’’ for official College width.

This user guide is written for experienced mechanical contractors. If you need additional information or support to install your Jaypro goal post, you can reach the Jaypro Sports customer support team, Monday through Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time at 1–800–243–0533.

IMPORTANT NOTICE  It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the goalpost, gooseneck, and

crossbar are properly located and lined up with respect to the field. Proper location and alignment should be confirmed with each step.

 It is the installer’s responsibility to ensur e that the crossbar is level and th e uprig hts

are plumb.

o All critical holes are to be drilled by the installer in an effort to help

ensure that all components are square, plumb, and level.

o Verify after every drilling operation that affected components are still

square, plumb, and/or level. Correct as necessary.

o It is recommended that drilled holes be piloted with a 3/16” drill bit, and

opened up incrementally to the final size.

2 Safety

Some of the goal post components are heavy and require at least three people to maneuver into place. To maintain control and prevent injury when moving heavy components, ensure you have a sufficient number of technicians to support the components without dropping them.

5. Where to Install the Foundation and Goosenecks

Installing the foundation and anchors in the proper location at each end of the field ensures that the gooseneck, cross bar, and uprights will be positioned according to high school and college football regulations. By rule, the front edge of the crossbar should be even with the inside edge (field side) of the end line, such that the crossbars measure 360 ft apart, inside to inside

1. From the field layout plan, determine and mark the location of the inside corners of the playing field including the end zone.

2. From the field layout plan or through consultation with the field contractor determine the final field elevation.

3. Using the corners as reference points, mark the points exactly 80 feet in from the inside edge of the sideline and 100-3/8 inches for FBGP 900 Series Goal Posts (82-3/8 inches for FBGP 400 Series) in from the inside edge of the end zone at each end of the field (Figure 2)

NOTE: The dimensions provided account for the deflection of the g ooseneck under t he weight of the crossbar and uprights.
