6.
Clean excess concrete from edge of hole and level the concrete from the edge of the "J" Bolt
Template (D). Clean excess concrete from both threads and nuts. Double check the position and
levelness of "J" Bolt Template (D). Allow footing to cure for seven (7) days.
7.
Remove the upper 5/8" Hex Nuts (I) from the "J" Bolts (G) and remove and discard the "J" Bolt
Template (D). Thread the 5/8" Hex Nuts (I) back onto the "J" Bolts (G)and finger tighten against the
5/8" Hex Nuts (I) embedded in the concrete. See Figure B.
8.
Place 5/8" Flat Washers (J) onto the exposed bolts. Now place the Vertical Pole (E) onto the exposed
bolts being careful not to damage the threads. Next place 5/8" Flat Washers (J), 5/8" Lock Washers
(K) and 5/8" Hex Nuts (I) onto the exposed threads. Be sure the crank mount brackets are facing away
from the playing surface. See Figure B.
9.
Level the Vertical Pole (E) using the 5/8" Hex Nuts (I) above and below the base plate. Once Vertical
Pole (E) is level tighten all 5/8" Hex Nuts (I) before proceeding. Press Safety Caps (U) over exposed
ends of "J" Bolts (G). The Vertical Pole (E) can be rotated on the base to insure that the system is
square to the playing court.
Install the following (#10 through #13) leaving all hardware finger tightened.
10. Now slide the Extension Arm (B) through the opening at the top of the Vertical Pole (E). Assemble
using 5/8" x 6 1/2" Hex Bolt (N) and 5/8" Lock Nut (M) See Figure C.
11. Install the Hand Crank (F) using 1/2" x 4" Hex Bolt (O) and 1/2" Lock Nut (P) at Extension Arm (B)
end. Use 1/2" x 5" Hex Bolt (Q) and 1/2" Lock Nut (P) to attach at Vertical Pole (E) end.
See Figure C.
12. Install the Spring Assist (R) as shown, using the 1/2"-13 x 2" Hex Bolt (T) and 1/2" x 5" Hex Bolt
(Q). See Figure C.
13. Install the I-Rod (C) using 5/8" x 6 1/2" Hex Bolt (N) and 5/8" Lock Nut (M) at the top hole of the
Vertical Pole (E). See Figure C.
14. Be sure that all hardware installed in instructions #10 through #13 are left loose enough that all
components move freely.
15. Attach H-Frame (A) to the backboard you have purchased. (Use H-frame instructions provided).
Now attach the rim you have purchased. (See Rim instructions provided).
16. Install H-frame/Backboard/Rim assembly to pole assembly using 5/8" Hex Bolts (L) included with H-
frame hardware. Make sure entire assembly is square and tighten all nuts. See Figure D.
17. To attach the Rim Height Indicator Label (S), first crank up the unit until the top of the rim is 10'
from the playing surface. Using a pencil, make a line on the Spring Assist (R) at the bottom of the
outer tube. Crank the unit to its lowest possible position and affix the label to the inner shock tube,
lining up the pencil mark and the 10' indicator line on the label. See Figure E.
18. Once you are confident that the system is square to the playing court and that the pole is plumb, fill
the void between the concrete foundation and the underside of the pole base with non-shrink grout.
This will keep out moisture and add rigidity to the pole system.
