STEP 4

– RIM AND BACKBOARD ASSEMBLY

Align the holes on the Rim Plate with the Backboard (11) fitting the Rim Plate into the 
back of the backboard.  Using the 1.5” bolts, attach the Rim (12) to the Backboard (11). 
Assemble so that the washers are next to the nuts. Tighten each nut with one of the 
provided 2-Sided Wrenches to secure the Rim to the Backboard.  Attach the net to the 
rim by looping the long end of the net over the metal loops.

STEP 5

– BRACKETS AND BACKBOARD ASSEMBLY

Using the 1.5” hex bolts, attach the Lower Backboard Brackets 
(9) to the bottom of the Backboard (11) and tighten with the 
2-Sided Wrenches provided.

NOTE:  Attach the short sides of Backboard Brackets to the 

Backboard. Make sure when brackets have been attached 
they come in towards each other.

Attach the Upper Backboard Brackets (10) with the remaining 
1.5” hex bolt to the top of the Backboard and tighten with the 
2-Sided Wrenches provided. 

STEP 6

– BACKBOARD AND TOP POLE ASSEMBLY

Using a 3.25” hex bolt, attach the Upper Backboard 
Brackets (10) to the top of the Top Pole (4). Tighten 
to secure. Do not over tighten as these joins will 
move to raise or lower the backboard. Then attach 
the Lower Backboard Brackets (9) to the pole by 
aligning the holes in the middle of the bracket. 
Loosely tighten the nut with your fingers. (Will fully 
tighten in STEP 7).

NOTE: Make sure that the pole connector is facing 
away from the backboard.

ASSEMBLY

STEP 1

– BOTTOM POLE AND BASE ASSEMBLY

Attach the Bottom Pole (2) to the Base (1) by sliding the pole 
into the square hole at the front of the Base. Make sure that the 
Bottom Pole connector is facing the back of the Base. Push the 
Bottom Pole all the way  into the Base.

Turn the Base on its side and slide the one locking washer onto 
the 1” bolt followed by the 1” washer. Screw the bolt 
into the Base and Bottom Pole using a 2-Sided Wrench.

Turn the Base back over and fill halfway with water or 
with 50 pounds of sand to stabilize the system while the 
unit is built. Snap the Red Base Cap into the Base.

STEP 2

– BASE ARMS AND BOTTOM POLE ASSEMBLY

Connect Base Arms (5 & 6) to Bottom Pole (2) using the 2.5” hex bolt. 
Loosely tighten the nut with your fingers, do not tighten all the way.  
(Will fully tighten at the end of STEP 3).

NOTE:  When using a bolt, nut and two washers 

make sure that the washers are always 
used on each end of the bolt. 

STEP 3

– BASE ARMS AND BASE ASSEMBLY

Place one Bottom Base Plate under and one Top 
Base Plate over the holes on one side of the base. 

Note:  To align the Bottom Base Plate, place the 

rounded corner into the inner top corner  
of the Base.

Align the holes and slide one 1.25” hex bolt up 
through the Bottom Base Plate. This bolt will  
connect in order from bottom to top; Bottom 
Base Plate, Base, Top Base Plate, Base Arm (see 
illustration). Add the washer and loosely finger 
tighten the nut. Slide a second 1.25” hex bolt up 
through second hole on the Bottom Base Plate.
