5. Crank the net top
rope tight with the
winch *SEE
NOTE BELOW*.
Pull bottom rope
tight through the
bottom rope ratchet
tensioning device.
See Figure 4.
6. Run Rope Ratchet
Net Tensioning
Ropes (H) through
button holes on
both sides of net
and around the
Standards (A).
Tighten all rope
ratchets so that net
is in the center of
the poles and is
pulled tight to the
left and right. Adjust winch and rope
ratchet tension until the net is at desired
tension for play. See Figure 5.
7. Measure from the top center of Net (F) to the
floor. Official Men ’ s height is 7’ 11 5/8”,
Women ’ s, 7’ 4 1/8” and Junior ’ s 7’. If this
measurement is above or below the official
height write it down and proceed to instruction
#8 to make minor one time adjustments to the
adjustable foot.
8. Remove Net (F) from poles.
9. Remove Standards (A) from floor sockets
and lay on floor. Measure the distance from
the bottom of the pole to the bottom of the
adjustable foot pad, write it down. Loosen set screw in the collar of the bottom adjustable foot with
the 1/8” Allen Wrench (K). 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 rest on the machined
flat on the adjustable foot to eliminate damage to the threads. Check your math to ensure you have
moved the adjustable foot in the right direction then tighten set screw. See Figure 3.
NOTE: Excessive tightening of top rope is not necessary. Crank the winch until poles start to flex.
Further tensioning results in lowering of the top rope. Achieve proper height using the inner pole
adjustment and to achieve proper net tensioning use the rope ratchets.
