Anchoring Wall Attachment for Short-Span Systems:
1. Attach the bit clip on the end of each anchoring halyard to the steel ring on the
end of the appropriate corresponding Tensioning Cable (see Figure 4-1). Hoist
up each halyard so the end of the net will hang at least 3 feet away from the
Anchoring Wall. Wrap the halyard onto the Rope Cleat to secure it in place. This
completes the necessary attachments at the Anchoring Wall.
Proceed to the section entitled, “Tensioning Wall Attachment (all systems)”.
Tensioning Wall Attachment (all systems):
1. If included, attach one Intermediate Cable to each of the steel rings on the ends
of the Tensioning Cable nearest the Tensioning Wall (see Figures 2-1 or 4-1).
Please remember, not all systems include Intermediate Cables. If your system
does not include Intermediate Cables, you can skip this step and proceed to the
next.
2. Unhook the bit clip on the end of each 2:1 Tensioning Assembly from the halyard
and attach it to the steel ring on the end of the appropriate corresponding
Tensioning Cable (or Intermediate Cable if included).
3. Grab the end of one of the halyards and pull straight down to hoist the cage up
into position. As the cable tension increases, the halyard will slide into the cam-
lock and be held in place automatically if/when the halyard is released. Be sure
to pull the halyard straight down parallel with the wall to engage the cam-lock. If
the angle with the wall is too great, the cam-lock may not engage properly.
Repeat this step for each of the three halyards and adjust as necessary until
desired tension* (cage height) is reached.
* Please Note: It is not necessary to put excessive tension on the system – it is
designed to function properly even under minimal tension with as much as 24” of
sag across the span.
This completes the set-up – you are now ready to begin using the cage.
After the initial installation of the 2:1 Tensioning Assemblies, the set-up time
required for the Phantom™ Tensioned Sports Cage System should be less than
5 minutes from storage to hitting!
4. To lower and remove the cage, pull each halyard out away from the wall towards
the cage slightly – this will disengage the cam-locks and free the halyards,
allowing the cage to drop to the ground freely. Be sure to hold on to the halyards
securely to prevent them from slipping through your hands uncontrollably.
