WARNING!
For safe assembly, do the following:
• Use two or three people to raise goal assembly and hold it in
a vertical position. Two or three people in good physical con-
dition and capable of lifting at least 90-100 lbs. (40-45 kg)
each are recommended for safe installation and assembly.

adjust height of backboard or attach rim until pole is
raised and appropriately bolted.
• Correct sequence of hardware installation
MUST
be followed
during assembly.
To avoid injury, keep fingers and toes away from the ground
plate while raising the goal assembly to the vertical position.
Step 1:
Remove banding and edge protection from
backboard.
Peel back TOP
1
/

of protective sheeting from the
backboard. This will allow you to reach the sheeting once goal
has been raised, yet protects the surface of the backboard during
installation.

Prepare them for use by
having lock washers slipped on and placed near ground anchor.
Step 3:
Using at least two people, carefully push
up on backboard to raise goal assembly to vertical
