STEP 4 – Rods, Bumper and Men Assembly
•
Once the table legs are secure, (using two people) pick the table up and turn it over onto its legs.
•
Locate the five man rods…. These two rods will be located in the center of the game as illustrated on next page . Note…
The men are designed with a slight press fit onto the rods in order to maximize playability.
o
Place the five man rod through the bushing in one wall… Slide on the first bumper making sure that the larger hole
in the bumper is away from the wall and toward the man. This will allow the bumper to snap onto the shoulder of
the outside man.
o
Slide on the five man and the second bumper and slide the rod through the bushing hole in the far wall… Note
that the red and black men face in opposite directions as shown in the illustration (on the next page). In some
cases you may need to add a small amount of lubricant inside the shoulder hole of the man to ease the sliding of
the man onto the rod.
o
Align each man over a hole in the rod and drive in a spirol pin. Note: place the rod block under the rod before
hammering in the spirol pins.
o
Snap the bumper onto the shoulder of the outside men. This can be done by pulling/pushing the men into the
side walls until the bumpers are securely seated.
•
Repeat these operations for the 3-man, 2-man, and goalie rods. Note: the 3-man and goalie rods both have three holes. The
goalie rod is the shorter rods.
