STEP1A NOTE: This Ground Sleeve is for use with inground poles only. Poles are not included with this product. Use the pole from your purchased Lifetime system. ® NOTE: If you have a one-piece pole system, your pole will be significantly longer than the poles pictured. If you have a three-piece pole system, use only the Bottom Pole Section. - Page 3 STEP 1B a. Peel off the short piece of the Tape backing and apply the Tape (E) to the inside of the Wedge (D) as shown. Cut the Tape at the top edge of the Wedge, then remove the backing and apply the remainder to the other side of the Wedge. Cut off the excess at the top edge of the Wedge. Make sure the Tape is firmly applied and can not fold backward. b. Insert the Wedge into one corner of the Sleeve and tap it down until it is all the way in. The Wedge helps to stabilize the pole, and must be used whenever the pole is inserted into the Sleeve. WEDGE STEP 2 a. Dig a hole 24” deep and 21” in diameter. Stack bricks in the bottom of the hole for the ground sleeve to stand on. Stack enough bricks in the hole so that the top of the ground sleeve is even with the top edge of the playing surface. If the ground sleeve is not exactly even with the playing surface, dig the hole deeper or add more bricks as necessary. Position the bricks close to the front edge of the hole, near the playing surface. The correct distance from the basketball court to the front of the pole is 4 inches. b. Mix all 6 bags of concrete, except 1/3 of a bag which will be used later to fill the inside of the bottom pole section. c. Fill the hole half full with concrete. Insert the Ground Sleeve and bottom pole section into the cement, making sure the Ground Sleeve rests on the bricks at the bottom of the hole. The correct distance from the basketball court to the front of the pole is 4 inches. The top of the Ground Sleeve should be flush with the basketball court. The bottom of the Sleeve should be resting on the bricks in the bottom of the hole. The Wedge between the Sleeve and pole section should be at the back side of the pole, away from the playing surface.
