a. Dig a hole 48" deep and 21"x 21"square . The edge of the hole
should be flush with the edge of the playing surface. If you live in an area
where heavy frost can occur, it may pose a problem, consult your local
building inspector to determine the appropriate hole depth.
b. Build a form before pouring the concrete pad, to ensure that the top
of the concrete remains straight and square. The form should
be placed about 1/2" above the playing surface to allow for water drainage.
c. Bell out the bottom of the hole.
21"
21"
48"
NOTE: The hole must be at least 48" deep.
NOTE: A square hole prevents the rotation of the concrete.
NOTE: The area behind the playing surface must be cleared off by at least
3 feet to enable the user to stand behind the pole to adjust the Rim height.
NOTE: Before digging, call to locate any buried utility lines.
NOTE: At rim height 10 , distance from the face of backboard to the’
front of Main Post(A) is 48 , Choose the proper location to dig”
for the concrete footing:
STEP B
STEP A
A. Thread a 18mm Hex Nut (U4) onto each of the 18mm J-Bolts
(U2).Securely tighten the Nuts all the way down to the end of the
threads.
B. Slide the threaded end of the J-Bolts through the holes
in the Anchor Template (U1) and secure each J-Bolt with a
18mm J-Bolt Hex Nuts(U4) as shown. Securely tighten all Nuts
at this time.

STEP C
STEP D
a. Mix the concrete according to the instructions on the bags. Note that
a thicker mix of concrete will dry stronger than a thin mix. Pour the
concrete into the hole, stopping approximately 18 inches from the top
of the hole.
b. Insert the four pieces of Anchor Rebar (U5) into the hole, pushing each
piece firmly to the bottom of the hole. The four pieces should be
arranged in a square approximately 8 inches wide so that each piece of
rebar will be positioned next to the J-Bolts when the J-Bolt Template
is placed in the cement.
c. Finish filling the hole to the top with concrete. The top of the concrete
should reach just above the level of the top of the form.
U5
a. Position the J-Bolt Template (U1) over the hole so that it is centered,
with the sides of the plate square with the sides of the hole.
b.Push the J-Bolts (U2) into the concrete until the J-Bolt Template is
resting flat against the surface of the concrete.
c. Grasp the tops of the J-Bolts and agitate the Template assembly back
and forth repeatedly to eliminate any air bubbles in the concrete. Lift the
Template slightly above the concrete when agitating . Make sure the
Template is resting on the concrete after agitating. Form the concrete
into a downward slope away from the Pole to allow water runoff.
d. Clean off any concrete that may be on the J-Bolt Template or the exposed
portions of the J-Bolts.
e. Using a carpenter’
s level, make sure the Template is square to and level
with the playing surface.
f. Allow the concrete to cure for a minimum of 5-7 days before installing
the rest of your basketball system. In cold , wet weather or humid
climates, allow additional time for the concrete to cure.
YOU ARE NOW FINISHED WITH THE INITIAL ASSEMBLY STEPS. DO NOT PRO-
CEED WITH THE ASSEMBLY UNTIL THE CONCRETE HAS FULLY CURED . CUR-
ING WILL TAKE A MINIMUM OF 72 HOURS. IN HUMID CLIMATES OR WET
WEATHER, ALLOW ADDITIONAL TIME FOR THE CONCRETE TO CURE.
