9. Remove the two goal mounting bolts assembled in Steps No. 3 & 4.
10. You are now ready to mount the goal. Carefully hold the goal (#3) against the face plate of the backboard (#1) and insert the two
3/8" x 3-1/2" lg. carriage bolts through the goal, backboard and the backstop mounting plate (refer back to Detail “B”). Note –
Flatwashers are not required at this point. Backboard may have to be shifted slightly for proper alignment. Secure with two (2)
3/8" hex nuts, 3/8" flatwashers and two (2) 3/8" lockwashers on backside of mounting plate. Assemble two 3/8" cap nuts on end
of cap screws.
11. Repeat Step No. 10 by inserting bolts through the bottom
two goal mounting holes.
12. Lay a level across the top of the backboard. Align backboard and securely
tighten two (2) 3/8" x 1-1/4" bolts mounted through
the backstop mounting plate into the backboard. Level goal and tighten four (4) bolts through goal.
13. Assemble floor jacks (#20) to frame assembly (#4). Use 1/2" x 4" hex head cap screw (#21) with 1/2" flatwasher (#25), 1/2"
lockwasher (#24) and 1/2" hex nut (#23) at cross tube. Use 1/2" x 1-1/4" hex head cap screw (#22) with 1/2" lockwasher (#24)
and 1/2" hex nut (#23) at side tube. See Detail “E”.
REMOVE SHIPPING CLAMP AT THIS TIME
14. Make sure all weights in the back of the unit are in place and none have been moved or removed during shipment. Keeping all
individuals clear from beneath unit (front and back), from the side carefully loosen threaded rods and remove shipping clamps
(see Detail “A”) at this time.
15. Folding cycle of the backstop should be checked at this time – PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
Remove the padlock and locking pin from the telescoping brace; also loosen the pressure lock handwheel slightly. Keeping all
individuals clear from beneath unit (front and back), stand to one side of the rear of the base. Grasp the handle on the rear vertical
support and slowly
lift unit into playing position.
CAUTION
- WHEN RAISING THE UNIT INTO THE PLAYING POSITION OR LOWERING THE UNIT INTO THE STORAGE
POSITION, OPERATE UNIT SLOWLY
TO AVOID TIPPING OR DAMAGE TO THE STRUCTURE. OPERATE UNIT UP AND
DOWN SEVERAL TIMES TO CHECK OPERATION. NEVER MOVE THE UNIT FROM PLACE TO PLACE UNLESS THE
BACKSTOP IS IN THE LOCKED-DOWN STORAGE POSITION!
16. With the backstop locked in the down or folded position, roll the unit into the approximate playing position (see assembly
drawing, page 4).
17. Raise the unit to the playing position and align the face of the backboard parallel to and 4'-0" in from the inside edge
of the 2"
wide court line. Plumb per assembly drawing.
18. Step on locking levers on the two rear casters when the unit is properly positioned to prevent it from rolling on the floor (see
Detail “F”).
19. Turn the front two floor jacks with the wrench provided (see Detail “E”) until the floor pads make contact with the floor.
Marking the floor with tape, etc. will ensure proper alignment on future set-ups.
20. Using a stepladder, lay a level vertically on the face of the glass backboard. Shift the clamp assembly on the rear of the
backboard yoke frame assembly (see Detail “D”) to properly plumb backboard. Tighten clamp bolts securely to hold backboard
in position.
21. Check Goal Height -
Set goal height at 10'-0" by adjusting the two front floor jacks (see Detail “E”). Lay level across bottom of backboard while
making this adjustment to ensure that the backboard is level when the goal is at the 10'-0" dimension. Note that it may be
necessary to loosen the six (6) bolts in the backboard mounting plate very slightly to shift and level the backboard. Retighten
securely after final adjustments are complete.
22. With goal height set at 10'-0", the locking collars on the floor jacks can be permanently set. Screw the locking collars downward
until they are tight against the collars that are part of the base. Tighten the set screw securely in each collar. At each future set-
up, the floor jacks need simply to be turned downward until the locking collar bottoms out on the base collar. This will yield a
10'-0" goal height each time without having to measure.
