b. Attach the end legs by aligning the pre-drilled holes of the cradle with the pre-drilled holes in the legs. Attach
the leg levelers being sure to leave approximately ½ inch of thread between the bottom of the leg and the
leveler. Attach the two skirts (these look like half circles) to the bottom of the two outermost end legs. Again,
these holes are pre-drilled.
c. Next, place the center leg in the spot where the shuffleboard will be permanently located. Attach the leg
levelers as you did on the end legs. NOW, turn both halves of the cradle upright and attach them to the
center leg. Do this one leg at a time.
Make sure this is where you want the shuffleboard to be. Once the playfield is installed, moving the
shuffleboard is not an option.
d. Once the cradle is upright and assembled, locate the two decorative brass plates. Remove the protective
white tape and position the plates over the cradle rail where the two cradles join. Attach each plate with two
screws (included).
Now is the time to perform the 1
st
level check. Using a 24” level, check to make sure the table is level (or at least
close at this point). If not, adjust the leg levelers accordingly. The bulk of the leveling and adjusting is done once
the playfield is installed.
2. Installing the Scoreboard and Control Panel
Once you have your cradle assembled and in place, the next step is to install the scoreboard and control panel.
The scoreboard and mounting pole are pre-assembled. Locate the scoreboard and remove the protective
wrapping.
a. With a friend holding the scoreboard, feed the wires (that are attached to the scoreboard) through the pre-
drilled hole on the side of the cradle wall.
b. Attach the mounting pole to the side of the cradle using the (4) 4”-bolts which are included.
c. Once the scoreboard is attached, connect the additional wiring harness to the scoreboard wiring. Feed the
additional wire to both ends of the cradle. There are guide holes under both halves of the cradle for the wiring
to pass through. Finish by connecting each end to the wiring harness to the back of the control panels.
d. Using screws provided, attach the control panel to the cradle wall.
DO NOT ATTACH THE CONTROL
PANEL FACE PLATE YET.
e. Once the control panel is attached and mounted, assemble the plug by fastening the wires. Once the plug is
assembled and you have checked to make sure the connections are correct, plug in the scoreboard.
f.
Now, check all buttons to ensure proper connection. If you have any problems, unplug the scoreboard and
re-check all connections.
g. Attach the control panel face plate to each of the two control panels.
For scoreboard operation, see step 5 below
3. Installing The Playfield
Now that you have installed the cradle in its permanent location, you’re ready for the playfield.
Remember, the playfield is very heavy.
a. Find all the help you need and trust us, the more the better. We recommend at least 3-5 people depending
on the size of table.
b. Once you have opened the crate containing the playfield, remove any exposed nails. Pad the rails of the
crate and cradle to prevent scratching the playfield. This can be your first resting spot.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to take your time and communicate the game plan with the others before you lift.
