BEFORE BEGINNING ASSEMBLY
A. Identify and inventory all parts using the checklist boxes on the Parts List. Keep the hardware bags and their contents
separate. If any parts are missing, call our Customer Service Department.
B. Test fit all Bolts by inserting them into their respective holes. If necessary, carefully scrape away any excess powder coating
buildup from inside the holes. Do not scrape away all of the powder coating. Bare metal may rust.
ATTENTION: This Backboard is not designed for custom installations. The
Backboard is designed for use with a Lifetime Products
®
Pole Mounting
Unit or Universal Mounting Bracket. If a Pole or Mounting Bracket is
being used, mount the Backboard and Rim using the hardware included
with the Pole system or Mounting kit and according to the directions
included with that product. Depending upon which mounting method is
used, you will follow either Option 1 or 2 according to indications on the
next page. The Pole or Mounting Bracket will include a set of Backboard
Brackets. Note: A Universal Mounting Bracket will allow you to install the
Backboard to a wall, roof, or 3 1/2” Pole.
NOTE: Do not mount the Rim directly to the Backboard. The strike
plate on the Backboard is not designed to hold the weight of the Rim,
and will not be able to support it. If you need to mount the Rim to the
Backboard without using a Pole system or Universal Bracket system,
you must place a metal support plate behind the Backboard. Failure
to use a support plate will result in damage to the Backboard. Support
must also be provided at the top of the Backboard using the Carriage
Bolts in the slots as shown on Page 5 in these instructions.
WARNING
The Rim and Backboard Combo kit must be mounted
and supported properly. Damage will occur if sufficient
Rim support is not provided.
