STEP 5 - INSTALL PLAYER RODS
Use the illustration to layout the player rods. There are four types of player rods, two hole
(#17), three hole (#16 and #18) and five hole (#19).
1. Assemble the handles (#24) to the player rods. The handle is installed on the end of the
rod that has the greatest distance from the end to the first player hole. Stand the rod up
and place the handle (#24) over the end. Use a mallet to hammer the handle onto the
rod.
NOTE:
To make the handles easier to attach, spray a little window cleaner on the rod ends
prior to installation and tap on gently with a hammer.
2. Select a player rod (#16, 17, 18 or 19) and insert the end into the correct bushing on the
side of the table.
NOTE:
The handles for each color team will be on the same side.
Player rods #16 and #18 are both for three players. When assembling these rods
the two #16 rods are for one team and the two #18 rods are for the opposite team.
3. Slide a bumper (#27) onto the rod.
4. Slide players (#20 or 21) onto the rod. The “feet” may not have the same shape on both
sides.
5. After the last player is on the rod, place a bumper (#27) onto the rod. Push the end of the
rod into the second bushing.
NOTE:
The player rod should spin freely even though the players are not secured in place.
6. Secure the players (#20 or 21) to the player rod using a round head screw (#15). Tighten
to keep the players from moving.
7. On the end of the player rod away from the handle, push an end cap (#25) over the rod.
8. Repeat for the remaining player rods. Pay attention to team colors and foot direction.
