14. During the goal height setting process, if the front casters are raised off the court surface, install the included
shim plates (#5) such that the distance between the front casters and court surface is between 1/8" to 3/8"; see
Detail "G" and Detail "H". This will help ensure that raising the unit does not become difficult.
WARNING:
If the front
casters are not shimmed to the proper height, damage to the auto-lift foot pad assembly can occur.
15. Using a stepladder, lay a level vertically on the face of the glass backboard. Properly plumb and level the
backboard and goal following the backboard auto-plumb procedure as described on the next page.
16. Recheck the goal height after plumbing and levelling the backboard and goal. Make any further height
adjustments as-needed. Once complete, each time the unit is raised to the playing position the goal should
consistently be at a height of 10ft from the court floor. Installing locator pins (#6) (see page #14) will ensure the
backboard and goal are always in the same position on the court floor.
