BEFORE YOU START!
To ensure optimal playability of backboard system, a
close tolerance fit between the elevator components
and hardware is required. Test-fit large bolts into large
holes of elevator tubes, backboard brackets, and
triangle plates. Carefully rock them in a circular
motion to ream out any excess paint from holes if
necessary.
Not all items pictured are included with every model.
