Fill the hole around the ground sleeve with concrete to approximately 7” below the turf
surface. Slope the concrete away from the sleeve to promote drainage.
6.
Concrete should cure for a minimum of 5 days before installing goal posts.
After concrete has cured completely proceed with installing the post
into the sleeve.
1.
Install the long threaded rod, item 22, through the top hole of the
gooseneck post, item 4, in line with the gooseneck. Center the
rod and secure with a nut, item 23 on each side.
2.
Install the three short threaded rods, item 21, in the remaining
three holes. Center each rod and secure with one nut, item 23, on
each side.
3.
Set the post into the sleeve and lower until the long threaded rod
engages in the slot at the top of the sleeve.
4.
Place a level on the post and check for plumb (check both
directions).
5.
If post requires adjustment to plumb, remove the post from the
sleeve and loosen the nuts on the threaded rods. Tighten one of
the nuts on one side of the threaded rod to shift the rod to the side.
Tighten the nuts on both sides and set the post back into the
sleeve. Recheck for plumb. Continue this process until the post is
plumb.
6.
Measure from the playing surface to the center of the open end of
the pipe at the gooseneck. The measurement taken should be 9’-9
3/4”
7.
Adjust the threaded rods in line with the gooseneck to tilt the post.
Tilting the post will adjust height of the gooseneck to achieve the
correct measurement.
8.
Once the post has been plumbed and adjusted to the correct
vertical measurement, check the gooseneck alignment to the
center of the field.
9.
Rotate the gooseneck to make sure the horizontal portion of the
gooseneck is accurately lined up with the centerline of the playing
field.
10.
Install a nut, item 23, on each side of the threaded rod in the slots
and tighten all nuts securely to prevent movement of the post.
