12. Tighten all hardware installed from instructions #10 and #11 making sure that the Rim (Z), Backboard (Y)
and the Backboard Mounting H-Frame (AA) are square to each other.
13. Mount the entire rim/board/mounting H-frame assembly to the Horizontal Extension Arm (M) and the
Horizontal I-Rod (N) using hardware included with Backboard Mounting H-Frame (AA). This task is most
easily accomplished when the pole has been cranked to the lowest possible position and the bottom bolt is
inserted first. (** refers to hardware supplied w/ Backboard Mounting H-frame.) See Figure 5A and 5B.

14. Once all hardware has been installed, check the squareness of the board in every direction. The
perpendicularity of the board face in relationship to the playing surface can be adjusted in one of two ways.
First, check to make sure the Backboard (Y) is parallel to the face of the Backboard Mounting H-Frame
(AA). If not, adjust using the slots in the bracket and board mounting angle. Alternatively, if the Vertical
Pole (L) is not perpendicular to the playing surface, it can be adjusted at the base using the adjustable foot
pads underneath the front two corners of the base.
15. When it is determined that everything is square, check to make sure that all hardware has been
tightened. If the adjustment up and down with the hand crank is too stiff, it is probable that
you have overtightened one of the bolts at the pivot points creating a bind.
