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.

Not all items pictured are included with every model.
