14. If you intend to use the Front Locator Pins (P) for easy repositioning, move Portable Base (A) to the
desired location for play. Warning! While the Portable Base (A) can be moved when the Backboard (J)
is raised to the play position, it is advisable to only raise the goal when unit is at or near its intended play
location to avoid difficulty in handling.
15. Once the portable base is in place, remove the Lock (V) and Hitch Pin and raise the Breakaway Goal (L)
to the playing position. Ensure that the backboard is positioned square to the court markings and that
the face of the backboard is 48" from the inside edge of the out of bounds end line.
16. Lower the Front Locator Pins (P) to the floor and mark the appropriate position for installing the Floor
Bushings (R) with a sharp marker. See Figure 13.
17. Carefully drill a 7/8" diameter hole in the playing surface 5/8" deep and install the Floor Bushings (R)
flush with the playing surface. Use of a construction adhesive will improve stability. See Figure 13.
18. Although the Portable Base (A) is designed with adequate ballast, the back of the unit may move
slightly with excessive hanging. Some models include the optional Rear Hold Down Kit (X) for
added stability. Follow instructions provided with the Rear Hold Down Kit (X).
19. During the lifetime of this product you may need to adjust the tension of the lift springs. This is
accomplished by tightening each spring individually and all springs equally. Under no circumstances
should the tensioning nuts be removed as springs are under pressure.
20. Portable bases with 8' set back feature a deadlock device between the vertical uprights. When the unit is
at official 10' rim height rotate the deadlock to the horizontal position. Use provided hitch pin to attach
the deadlock device to the front vertical upright tab. Rotate the deadlock device to tighten or draw
together both vertical uprights, following instruction on the label. The deadlock device when tensioned
stabilizes the portable base during aggressive play and provides a safety feature by not allowing the goal
to be lowered when deadlock is in position. See Figure 15.
21. Deadlock device must be removed and secured in the storage position before portable base can be
lowered for transport. See Figure 15.
22. During play store the Removeable Handle (W) in the storage location or secure elsewhere to avoid
unwanted portable movement. See Figure 15.
