No. 00900-259 PORTABLE OPERATOR KIT
This manual height adjuster can be raised and lowered with
Porter's No. 00900-259 Portable Operator Kit. This battery-
operated unit has a built-in torque (clutch) adjustment, a low
operating speed (450 r.p.m.), and includes a socket
extension assembly. Use the lowest torque clutch setting
possible to operate the height adjuster, to avoid undue stress
on the unit as it reaches the maximum Up (10') or Down (8')
positions. Contact your local Porter dealer or Porter
Athletic Equipment Company for additional information.

CAUTION
When height adjustment unit is mounted on a folding-type backboard support system, always adjust the goal height to 10'-0"
before hoisting or folding the unit, so as not to place undue strain on the hoist system or the height adjustment mechanism.
Always keep the operating device (Keys from Key Switch, Powr-Stick, or Sportsonic
®
II Transmitter, Hand Crank) in the
possession of a responsible adult who is trained in the proper use of this system.
For manual units, do not continue to crank unit one it reaches the 10’-0” or 8’-0” goal heights, as this will place undue strain on
the mechanism and possibly jam unit in place.
For manual units, do not use a power drill that does not have a torque (clutch) adjustment, to raise and lower the height adjuster.

WARNING
Before attempting any repairs, lower the unit to the lowest position (8'-0" goal height) to eliminate the possibility of the backboard
dropping suddenly, which could result in serious injuries or death.
