1. Locate and dig a 12" minimum diameter x 36" deep hole.

2. Fill hole with wet premixed concrete, insert vertical pole leaving 108" above desired playing surface.
Vibrate to settle concrete.

3. Make sure post is straight and plumb. Brace while drying if necessary. Allow 24 hours minimum
drying time before continuing assembly. Place 4" square post cap on top of pole.

4. Using 

½

" x 4" U-Bolts, lockwashers and nuts attach the extension arm support to the vertical pole

either at desired rim height or at ground level. If you choose to bolt extension arm support up high first,
the bottom of the extension arm support should be bolted 93 

½

" up from playing surface.

5. Loosely attach all four extension arms to the extension arm support using 

½

"x 11" hex bolts, 

½

"

nylon flatwashers and hex nuts. (The short extension arms go on top and the nylon flatwashers go
between the extension arms and the extension arm support to prevent paint rubbing)

6. Using the 5/16" hardware provided with your backboard, bolt the I-Frame Backboard Mounting (as
shown in Figure B) to the center four holes located at the top of your backboard. Remove and discard
the plastic shipping block located at the backboard joint

7. READ THIS ENTIRE STEP BEFORE PROCEEDING:  Attach desired rim loosely with the hardware
provided in the rim box. Rim should bolt through backboard and into I-Frame. ATTENTION:  If your
backboard is ACRYLIC (FT210, FT215, or FT220) be sure to sandwich one black rubber gasket
(provided with backboard) between the backplate of the rim and the face of the backboard and the
other gasket between the Backboard I-Frame support and the backside of the backboard when
attaching rim. Trim gaskets if necessary.  ATTENTION:  If your backboard is TEMPERED GLASS
(FT216 or FT221) your backboard should have (4) aluminum core grommets inserted into the glass
where the rim bolts through.  If they are not in the backboard, look in the box, they may have fallen out
during shipping.  If you cannot locate all four aluminum cores, DO NOT PROCEED WITH ASSEMBLY,
call First Team immediately, 1-888-884-6677.

8.  Using the 5/16" hardware provided in the bolt bag, attach the I-Frame bottom angle to the bottom
four holes in the backboard aluminum frame as shown in Figure B.

9. Attach the Backboard/I-Frame/Rim assembly to the lower set of arms using a 

½

"x 11" hex bolt and

locknut. Use one nylon flatwasher between both extension arms and the I-Frame backboard support.

10. Attach upper set of arms to the Backboard/I-Frame/Rim assembly using a 

½

" x 11" hex bolt and

locknut. Use one nylon flatwasher between both extension arms and the I-Frame backboard support.

11. Tighten all bolts except where extension arm support mounts to the vertical pole. Make sure rim is
square with the backboard, etc.

12. If you are working at ground level, slide the entire assembly up the vertical post until the bottom of
the extension arm support is 93 

½

" above the playing surface. Make sure entire project is level and

square, tighten U-Bolts now. IMPORTANT! Do not overtighten U-Bolts, this can cause damage to the
extension arm support. Just tighten U-Bolts until they are snug.

13. Using a 

½

" x 4" U-Bolt, lockwashers and nuts, attach the Pin Adjustment Bracket to the back side
