of the vertical post so the bottom of the bracket is 47
¼
" above the playing surface, tighten it now. Do
not overtighten U-Bolts.
14. At this time it is necessary to work on the pin adjustment bracket so the 8" adjustment pin glides
freely in and out. Because the pin adjustment bracket is designed with a "net fit" on the adjustment pin
it is important to lubricate the pin, (we suggest vaseline) this will allow free movement through the
tubes. After the pin has been lubricated, try pushing it all the way through the tubes on the pin bracket.
If this is still difficult the bracket ears may have become misaligned while tightening the U-Bolt. You can
correct this by using a crescent wrench to slightly bend ears back to their original position allowing the
pin to glide freely in and out. Lubricate pin every six months.
15. Bolt on the Adjustment Handle to the lower set of arms using a
½
" x 11" hex bolt and nut.
16. With some help, pull down on the adjustment handle and pin the unit at ten feet using the
½
" x 8"
adjustment pin. (You will pin it in the top hole on the adjustment handle)
17. Attach (2) lift springs from pivot point J to pivot point K as shown in Figure A. You may find it helpful
to loop a rope over pivot point K and attach it to one end of the spring. Then with the spring already
attached to pivot point J pull down on the rope, extending the spring until it hooks itself over pivot point
K.
18. Make sure all nuts are tight and project is still level and square.
