INSTALLATION
Installation of the sleeves of the unit is the setting stones of the system. If this process is
not correct the remainder of the install will be inaccurate.
1.
Mark (2) spots on the floor exactly 22 feet apart (refer to most recent set of architectural
prints for exact locations within the gym). These represent the CENTERS of each sleeve
installation. If sleeves are to be more or less than 22 feet apart, contact a Gared
representative for information regarding this alteration.
2.
Cut (2) round holes through the playing surface 4-3/4” to 5”, diameter centered on the
spots marked in step one.
3.
After cutting out the circle in the surface flooring, cut a similar hole in the concrete slab
below. The diameter of this hole should be larger than 3-1/2”, however the exact size is
not critical.
4.
When drilling the hole in concrete, the slab must be fully penetrated. Under the slab,
hollow out (by hand) an area about 16-20 inches from the playing surface. The hole
should be about 6 to 8 inches deeper than the bottom of the sleeve once it is inserted.
5.
It is recommended that a “non-shrink” grout be used to anchor the sleeve. Pour the grout
mixture into the hole until it is just below the BOTTOM of the concrete hole. Using the
cap provided, cover the sleeve during installation to prevent grout from entering the
bottom of sleeve.
6.
Insert the 2 5/8” O.D. sleeve and work it down into the grout until the inside bottom of
the sleeve is 11” below the TOP surface of the floor. Incorrect sleeve depth will result in
a net height error.
7.
Turn the ring and cover plate upside down and approximately center it over the hole.
Holding it firmly in place, outline it on the floor. Note: The purpose in centering this ring
and cover above the sleeve is to allow the post to pass through the sleeve below. It may
be slightly off-center and still work. This oversized design facilitates any movement of
the floor now or in the future.
8.
Using a router and template, route a counter bore 6-7/16” diameter to a depth of
about 17/32” to receive the floor cover. A template can be made from a piece of
Masonite or thick plastic. Make a hole in the template material so that when the
router is used with it, (allowance is made for router base plate) the counter bored
diameter is 6-7/16”. Use a scrap board for practice and to check the outcome of
the counter bore first.
Note: Dimensions of the counter bore diameter and depth are based on a using a
6030/6031 floor cover. Be sure they are correct for the cover being installed.
9.
Center the template over the 5” diameter hole. When marking the counter bored
hole, keep pressure on the template at all times to prevent slippage.
10.
To prevent slipping of the template during the routing, tape the template to the
floor or apply continuous pressure to the template. Do not cut full depth of the
