BEFORE BEGINNING ASSEMBLY
A. Identify and inventory all parts using the checklist boxes on the Parts List. Keep the hardware bags and their contents separate. If any parts
are missing, call our Customer Service Department.
B. Test fit all Bolts by inserting them into their respective holes. If necessary, carefully scrape away any excess powder coating buildup from inside
the holes. Do not scrape away all of the powder coating. Bare metal may rust.
ATTENTION:
This Backboard is
not
designed for custom installations. The Backboard is
designed for use with a Lifetime Products
®
Pole Mounting Unit or Universal Mounting
Bracket. If a Pole or Mounting Bracket is being used, mount the Backboard and Rim
using the hardware included with the Pole system or Mounting kit and according
to the directions included with that product. Depending upon which mounting
method is used, you will follow either Option 1 or 2 according to indications on the
next page. The Pole or Mounting Bracket will include a set of Backboard Brackets.
Note:
A Universal Mounting Bracket will allow you to install the Backboard to a wall,
roof, or 3 1/2” Pole.
NOTE:
Do not mount the Rim directly to the Backboard. The strike plate on
the Backboard is not designed to hold the weight of the Rim, and will not be
able to support it. If you need to mount the Rim to the Backboard without
using a Pole system or Universal Bracket system, you must place a metal
support plate behind the Backboard. Failure to use a support plate will result
in damage to the Backboard. Support must also be provided at the top of
the Backboard using the Carriage Bolts in the slots as shown on Pages 4
and 5 in these instructions.
WARNING
The Rim and Backboard Combo kit must be mounted and
supported properly. Damage will occur if sufficient Rim
support is not provided.
