You are now finished with the initial assembly steps.
Do not proceed
with the assembly until the concrete has fully cured.
Curing will
take a minimum of 72 hours (3 days). In humid climates or wet
weather, allow additional time for the concrete to cure.
Never
use the system without first following the cementing instructions.
STEP D
AM
a.
If you are using concrete mix, mix the concrete according to the
instructions on the bags. Note that a thicker mix of concrete
will dry stronger.
b. Pour the concrete into the hole, stopping about 18 inches from
the top of the hole.
c. Push the four pieces of 36” Rebar (AB) firmly to the bottom
of the hole. The Rebar should be arranged in a square about
8 inches wide in the center of the hole so each piece will be
next to the J-Bolts when they are placed in the cement.
d. Finish filling the hole to the top with concrete. The top of the
concrete should reach about 1/2” above the playing surface
and slope toward the playing surface to allow water runoff.
STEP C
AB
a. Position the J-Bolt Template (AM) over the hole so it is centered over the
hole.
Note: The front of the Template is the side with the Nut Coupler (TA) and
should be toward the playing surface.
b. Insert the J-Bolts into the concrete and agitate the Template assembly to
eliminate any air bubbles.
c. Push the J-Bolts (AA) into the concrete until the J-Bolt Template (AM) is
resting flat against the concrete. Form the concrete into a downward slope
toward the playing surface to allow water runoff.
Note: The lower four 5/8” Hex Nuts (TC) and the Nut Coupler (TA) will
be in the concrete permanently.
d. Clean off any concrete on the J-Bolt Template or the exposed portion of
the J-Bolts.
e. Using a carpenter’s level, make sure the Template is square to the playing
surface.
f. Plate should be level and about 1/2” above the playing surface for water to
drain off of the steel.
