Aut-O-LocTM 3 Installation Instructions

General Warnings

● Read all instructions prior to installation and use.

● This unit is not a person fall protection device.

● This unit must be replaced after catching a falling load.

● Ensure all people are clear of backstop when operating hoisting

equipment. ( Use only supplied hardware, do not substitute)

● This unit is intended for indoor use only

● Use appropriate lock-out and tag-out procedure for backstop hoist

when installing Autoloc.

● During installation, use a tether on the Autoloc that will prevent the

Autoloc from falling.

● Ensure that people are well clear of work area, and that no-one is un-

derneath work platform. When installing unit ensure that work platform
is stable and clear of moving equipment during hoist operation. Work
platform (i.e. man lifts) may tip when extended to great heights. Make
sure the work platform is clear of the backstop when testing the move­ment of the backstop and Autoloc.

● Belt must move freely through the range of backstop motion. Belt

must not rub against anything as backstop moves; abrasion may cause
Belt failure.

● Keep loose clothing, long hair and jewelry clear of equipment while

installing Autoloc.

2. Locate the Autoloc just above and as close to the pick up point (where the lift­ing cable attaches) on the backstop mast as possible. The warning tear tab
should be just below the white roller guides at the bottom when the backstop is
in the fully raised position and facing outward so it can be seen easily if de­ployed.

1. The basketball backstop must be in its deployed (down) position for installation
of the Autoloc.

Unit should be oriented so
the warning tear tab
Is visible from the front of

the basket.

3. Insert 1/2 x 3” bolt in top clamp hole and finger tighten into opposite half

clamp using 1/2” nut. Place clamp over mounting pipe. Lift Autoloc unit up

to clamp, insert 5/8”x 4.25” bolt through bottom hole in both clamp halves
and Autoloc unit and finger tighten using 5/8” nut. If mounting to 3” pipe,
Insert 1/2” x 4” bolt in middle clamp hole and finger tighten nut; 4” tube
will not require this 1/2” x 4” bolt. Position the Autoloc and hand tighten all

bolts so that the Aut-O-Loc will remain in position on the pipe.

* When mounting to 4”

tube, it is not neces-

sary to use the 1/2” x
4” bolt & matching nut

on the pipe clamp.

5. The Autoloc must be mounted in the

center plane of backstop motion and the

belt should not angle to the side or rub
against any surface. Maximum belt side
angle should not be greater than 1º at
maximum belt payout.

8. The belt should only have a slight bend when
the basket is in the down position.

The Autoloc belt should never form a slack

loop at any point during the movement of the

backboard (see figure B).

If a loop has formed, make sure the Autoloc is di­rectly in line with the pick up point and is not inter-

fering with a retractor reel or other obstruction

7. Tighten all bolts on the pipe mount and belt

clamp. When mounting to 4” tube, tighten the

5/8” bolt so the pipe clamp is tight against the

surface of the cast housing.

6. The Autoloc Belt should be clear of obstructions

throughout its sweep. These angles are installa-

tion dependent

4. Wrap end around mast attach point. Place sewn tail of belt loop on the

outside of the loop. Insert bolt through the clamp and clamp tube and tight-

en 3/8” nut on opposite side. You should see a small loop of black material

near the end of the belt that contains the catch warning flag. The flag will

show on the side opposite the loop
when deployed. You should wrap
the strap so the warning strip will be
most visible if deployed in a fall.
