ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED:
(1)
7/16” and 9/16” Socket Wrench and Box Wrench
(1)
7/16” Nut Driver
(1)
Rubber Mallet
1)
Unpack all parts and check against parts list to ensure that all have been included.
2)
Inspect all parts for damage. Report any damages to the trucking company.
3)
Select a site for the tunnel frame that is flat and clear of obstructions. The ground should
be level and free of debris. The area required for a PROTF-55 is 62 ft x 23 ft. The area
required for a PROTF-70 frame is 78 ft x 23 ft.
4)
Layout the ground sleeves as shown in Figure 1. (Note: the PROTF-55 frame is designed
for a 55 ft long net, and the PROTF-70 is designed for a 70 ft long net. If frame is being
installed for a different length net, the overall length of the frame should be 4 ft longer
and wider than the net.)
5)
Dig footing holes and install the ground sleeves as shown in Figure 2. Allow the
concrete to cure.
6)
Install hardware on each pole as shown in Figure 3. Attach the hoisting ropes by feeding
them through the pulleys. Attach a spring clip (#8) to the end of each hoisting rope as
shown in Figure 4. Tie a bowline knot in the other end of the rope.
7)
Insert a pole in each sleeve. Note that the corner poles are angled at 45 degrees towards
the corner of the net
8)
Make up the ends of the cable as shown in Figure 5. The cables should measure roughly
56 ft or 71 ft, from thimble to thimble.
9)
Roll out the net inside the frame. Center it and spread it out flat.
10)
Lay the two cables along the top two outer edges of the net. Attach both cables to the net
binding with zip ties, spaced roughly every 12”.
11)
Lower the hoisting ropes on the four corner poles and attach the cable ends and net to
each. Hoist each line so the net is approximately 4 to 5 feet above the ground.
