Basic Installation Steps . . . cont.
(Indoor or Outdoor Greens)
Once the plastic base is completed, ensure one final time that
(1)
your constructed base has the shape and panel
counts per row as shown in the “
Plastic Base Construction Schematic
” shown on page 4,
(2)
the individual panels
are tightly together, and
(3)
all panels containing a hole cutout are properly oriented (i.e., the hole cutout is located in
the proper quadrant of the installed panel). If corrections need to be made, the best time to do them is now!
Unwrap the floating cups that are supplied with your green. Using the “Plastic Base Construction Schematic” shown
on page 4, set the floating cups in the hole cut-outs indicated on the schematic. Each floating cup has thin tabs that
are used to lock it into the panel (the tabs provide a tight enough cup installation so that the cups will not move with-
out nominal force, so you won’t have to worry about the cups moving during normal play). Engaging these tabs re-
quires pressing down on the floating cup and twisting the entire cup assembly either clockwise or counter-clockwise
as shown in Fig. 5. If the tabs are properly locked into place, the floating cup can be easily moved. This limited ad-
justability is used to center the cup exactly under the pre-cut holes in the turf. If the floating cup is not proper locked
into place, there will be virtually no adjustability of the assembly.
Once the floating cups are installed, fill the remaining open holes with hole fillers. The hole fillers have locking tabs
also and are installed in the same manner as described above for the floating cups, although in most cases it is unnec-
essary to lock the hole fillers in place.

Use caution
when installing the floating cups because the locking tabs are quite
thin and can break with too much force.
An easy way to install the floating cups is to insert them into their appropriate
panel cutouts. Then stand on the cup with the ball of the foot over the center of
the cup. Apply body weight until the locking tabs can be engaged by twisting the
foot.
Hole fillers do not necessarily have to be locked into their respective panels.
