The Bison Centerline systems have been designed to "set and play", after initial set-up all net height guess
work is eliminated. The inner pole has machined marks provided for men's, women's and junior's official
height. The outer pole has an adjustable bottom foot factory pre-set for 10" floor sockets. Please read and
follow the instructions below carefully to make fine tuning adjustments if needed.
Tie a loop knot on both ends of the top rope of the volleyball net as needed for installation.
1. Set Standards (A) into Floor Sockets (D). Loosen the Knurled Knob (M), remove the Positive Lock Pin (Q)
and raise the inner pole of the Standard (A) to either the men's, women's or junior's height marks on the
pole. This line should be just visible above the top of the outer pole. See Figure 1.
2. Lay the net out finding the end with the factory installed rope ratchet device on the bottom rope. Install the
opposite end of the net to the non-winch standard by running the top rope over the rope guide and attaching
the loop to the Attachment Screw (I) previously installed. Then attach the other end of the net to the winch
standard by running the top rope over the rope guide and connect it to the 2" winch strap using the
Carabineer (K). See Figures 1 & 2.
3. Install one of the Nylon Net Collars (J) found in the hardware kit to each pole approximately 2" - 3"
below the bottom of the net. Then attach the Rope Ratchet (R) device on the winch end to the D-ring on the
collar and attach the other end of the bottom rope to the D-ring using one of the Carabineers (K) in the
hardware kit. See Figure 2.
4. Turn the winch handle tightening the top rope of the system to eliminate the slack in the rope. Center the
net between the two Standards (A). Finish tightening the top rope using the Winch (H) and pull the loose
end of the bottom rope through the Rope Ratchet (R) to tighten the bottom rope. See Figure 3.
5. Install the Rope Ratchet (N) kit by running the rope through the small holes in the sides of the net and
around the pole connecting them to the Rope Ratchet (N) device and then tighten all four devices evenly to
achieve desired net tension and maintain proper net placement between the standards. See Figure 2.
6. Measure the net height in the center of the net to the floor. If your Standards (A) are set to junior height it
should measure 7' (84"). Set to women's height it should measure 7'4-1/8" (88 1/8") and if your Standards
(A) /are set to men's height it should measure 7'11-5/8" (95 5/8"). If your measurement is different please
write it down and proceed to the next step. If your measurement is correct than you are ready to play.
7. If not at the correct height, compute how much too high or too low, loosen the net on Standards (A) and
proceed to step #8.
8. Loosen set screw in the collar of the bottom adjustable foot with the 1/8" Allen Wrench (O). Turning the
adjustable foot clockwise will lower net height, counter-clockwise will raise net height. Each revolution of
the adjustable foot will raise or lower pole by approximately 3/16". Make sure you use full revolutions, the
set screw must mate with the machined flat on the adjustable foot to eliminate screw damage. Tighten set
screw. See Figure 2.
9. It is advised to repeat steps 1-7 at this time. If your adjustments were correct you are ready to play. Repeat
instructions #7-#8 if further adjustment is needed.
10. You can make some slight modifications to fine tune the net height by raising and lowering the collars, by
tightening/loosening the winch, and by adjusting the tension on the side rope ratchets if necessary.
11. When you are confident that the initial net setup is complete trim excess top and bottom rope as desired.
Burn ends with a lighter to eliminate fraying.
