3) Anchor Assembly
Twist (4) nuts (#27) to the bottom of threads
on (4) J-bolts (#16). Place these J-bolts
through the holes on the black anchor plate
(#10) and install (4) nuts (#27) and tighten.
The bottom of the J-bolts should be positioned
as shown.
NOTE:
There will be (8) flat washers
(#29) and (4) lock hex nuts (#41) left over
after the Anchor Assembly. These will be
used on the Assembly Day. You can set
them to the side for now.
Determine the location of the anchor system. Use the
following dimensions as a guide.
The system requires a
minimum of 16 inches
behind
the main post to allow for adjustment.
Overhang is defined as the distance between the front
of the backboard to the front of the main post when
the system is at 10ft. The overhang on the APOLLO
is 2.5ft.
4) Pouring Concrete and Setting Pier Kit
NOTE:
Make certain that you have enough concrete to
finish the job. Allowing a portion to dry while you pur-
chase more concrete will weaken the footing.
Mix (9) 80 lbs. bags of concrete in wheel barrow or cement mixer and pour in pre-dug
hole about half full. Agitate concrete with shovel or broomstick to ensure proper fill.
Place (4) Pieces of rebar (#15) (included) in the middle of the hole about 8 inches
apart to create a square in the middle of the hole. All 4 pieces of rebar need to over-
lap the J-bolts at least 6 inches.
NOTE:
Mix concrete to manufacture specifications.
NOTE:
The bottom 4 nuts will be forever embedded in
concrete. The top 4 nuts remain on bolts and are used
for leveling.
