1. Read this manual carefully before starting assembly. Read each step completely before beginning

each step.

2. Some smaller parts may be shipped inside larger parts. Check inside all parts and cartons before assembling or ordering parts.

3. To make assembly of your basketball system easier, use the Hardware Identifier on page 4

to identify and sort all fasteners. Check all cartons for kits. All hardware is not located

in one kit.

4. Do not tighten hardware until instructed to do so. If hardware is tightened too soon, mounting holes

may not align and parts may not easily fit together. Leave locknuts slightly loose until you are instructed to tighten them.

An electric screwdriver is helpful in assembly. However, please set at low torque and use caution

because you could overtighten the hardware and strip the screws.

Save this instruction and your proof of purchase (receipt) in the event that the manufacturer

has to be contacted for replacement parts.

Owner must ensure that all players know and follow these rules for safe operation of the system.

! Do not dunk on this unit ! Do not hang from any part of the unit, including

the backboard, rim, support braces, or net.

! Do not slide, climb, or play on pole. ! Keep organic material away from pole base.

Grass, litter, etc. could cause corrosion and /or deterioration.

! Check pole system for signs of corrosion

(rust, pitting, chipping). Remove rust and/or loose paint completely and repaint with exterior enamel paint. If rust has penetrated through the steel anywhere, replace pole immediately.

! Check system before each use for proper

ballast, loose hardware, excessive wear, and signs of corrosion and repair before using.

! During play, use extreme caution to keep

players face away from the backboard, rim, and net. Serious injury could occur if teeth/face come in contact with backboard, rim, or net.

! Wear a mouth guard when playing to avoid

dental injuries.

! When adjusting height, keep hands and

fingers away from moving parts.

! During play, do not wear jewelry (rings,

watches, necklaces, etc.). Objects may entangle in net.

! Do not allow children to adjust system. ! Check system before each use for instability. ! Never play on damaged equipment.

INSTALLATION TIMELINE

1. Prior to pole installation and goal assembly, call utility services for location of underground utility lines before you dig.

2. Vertical main post assembly is a two part process.

PART 1

Day 1. Post assembly, pour concrete, set post and

Allow concrete to cure.

Day 2. Allow concrete to cure.

POST INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Day 1)

Before digging hole for your system, check for buried power, gas, water, and telecommunication lines! Failure to do so could result in serious or fatal injury! Contact your local utility company if unsure.

Note: For best results with less vibration, your system should be independent of court. If pouring concrete for both at same time, add an expansion joint in between.

Note: When digging hole, if you hit rock and cannot dig through contact a contractor.

1. Determine the location of the hole.

The proper location is as close to the court without making contact, as shown in Figure 1. This, however, is a general rule. If you need to locate the hole in a location other than this, use the following dimensions as a guide.

POST ASSEMBLY

Before putting any of the poles tubes together, make sure that the orange area of the

INSTRUCTIONS

Warning Sticker on Pole (#2) is 6 inches from the top end. Be sure that the “Back Side” stickers are on the back of the pole. See Figure 3.

WARNING: This pole assembly is heavy. Step 2 may require two adults. Make sure you can control the pole when slamming it together. If you are unsure if you can safely control the pole ask another adult to help you. This helper can stand on the opposite side of the pole. Attention should be paid to one’s feet and toes during entire slamming process.

Align the upper pole (#3) with the bottom pole (#2) as shown in Figure 3 and slide them together. While maintaining control of the pole assembly stand poles up STRAIGHT on a piece of MDF or plywood, lift poles up by bottom pole below the 6” mark shown on sticker and slam down the bottom pole as many times as needed on a piece of MDF or plywood until the bottom of the upper pole reaches the 6” mark (on Sticker) on the bottom pole. See Figure 3.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT hit poles with hammer or sledge hammer to attach poles together.

NOTE: When slamming poles together make sure to keep the poles straight.

Slamming the poles down crooked will damage the bottom of the pole. Top Pole must cover upper orange area of sticker. If Pole goes slightly past the 6” mark, it is OK.

SCREWS (#42) MUST BE INSTALLED TO POLE AS DESCRIBED IN STEP 3. FAILURE TO INSTALL SCREWS COULD RESULT IN

SERIOUS INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

NOTE: Cordless drill required for screw installation. Do not over tighten screws causing screws to strip.

Once Screw heads touch pole, STOP! Overtightening will cause Pole to Warp and damage system.

NOTE: To install screws, it will be easier if you use a cordless drill with 5/16” socket (instead of Phillips head).

Once the Top pole is to the 6” Mark on the Warning Sticker, lay Pole Assembly on its side on two padded saw horses. Insert

a (#42) Screw into each 3/16” hole in top Pole, two on each side of the Post Assembly. You will need someone to hold the Pole assembly while inserting screws. Screw must go through both Top and Bottom (Inner) Poles. Make sure to not strip screws once they are all they way through. See Figure 4.

NOTE: Screws #42, used in step 3, are Self Drilling screws and can be installed without drilling pilot holes.

However, it will be easier to install screws if you drill 9/64” pilot holes in bottom pole. WEAR SAFETY

GLASSES if drilling holes.

Mix concrete per the instructions on concrete bag. Pour into the hole

and stop about 16” from Playing Surface or until you can still see the top

of the Masonry block you placed earlier. See Figure 5 and Detail 1.

Set the bottom of the pole on the masonry block in the hole. Make

sure the Pole stays on the block as shown in Figure 5. The Bury line

should be level with the playing surface see Detail 1.

While one person holds the pole in place have two other people finish

pouring concrete up to court level. Use a level to make sure Pole is vertical.

BE SURE THAT THE HOLES ARE TOWARD THE BACK OF THE POLE AND “BACK SIDE” STICKERS ARE AT THE BACK OF THE POLES/ OPPOSITE THE PLAYING SURFACE BEFORE POURING CONCRETE ON STEPS 4-6.
