CarbonMax and CarbonPro II Composite Volleyball Systems
( Either in packages or components ordered separately )
1. Install Standards (A) into floor sockets. Use the net height adjustment crank to extend inner pole to either
the W (women’s), M (men’s) or J (junior) line. The machined line should be above but touching the
collar. If your sockets are 3 1/2” or 4” request free floor socket adapters from manufacturer. See Figure 3.
2. Run net top rope over the top rope guide on the non-winch Standard (A) and place loop over Top Rope
Net Attachment Screw (I). See Figure 4.
3. Run net top rope over the top rope guide on the winch pole and attach to the web strap on the winch
using a Carabiner Clip (L). See Figure 1
4. Crank winch to remove most of the slack in the net, do not tighten for play, just enough to position net.
Install one Collar Strap (J) to each pole 1”-2” below bottom of net. Hook the bottom net rope to the
Collar Strap (J) on the non-winch pole with a Carabiner Clip (L). Hook the other end of the bottom net
rope with rope ratchet tensioning device to the Collar Strap (J) on the winch pole. See Figure 4.

The CarbonMax and CarbonPro II systems have been designed to “set and play”. After initial set-up all net
height guess work is eliminated. The inner pole has machined marks provided for men's (M), women's (W)
and junior (J) official heights. The outer pole has an adjustable bottom foot factory pre-set for VB23 floor
sockets. Please read and follow the instructions below carefully to make fine tuning adjustments if needed.

5. Crank the net top
rope tight with the
winch *SEE
NOTE BELOW*.
Pull bottom rope
tight through the
bottom rope ratchet
tensioning device.
See Figure 4.
6. Run Rope Ratchet
Net Tensioning
Ropes (H) through
button holes on
both sides of net
and around the
Standards (A).
Tighten all rope
ratchets so that net
is in the center of
the poles and is
pulled tight to the
left and right. Adjust winch and rope
ratchet tension until the netis at desired
tension for play. See Figure 5.
7. Measure from the top center of Net (F) to the
floor. Official Men’s height is 7’ 11 5/8”,
Women’s, 7’ 4 1/8” and Junior’s 7’. If this
measurement is above or below the official
height write it down and proceed to instruction
#8 to make minor one time adjustments to the
adjustable foot.
8. Remove Net (F) from poles.
9. Remove Standards (A) from floor sockets
and lay on floor. Measure the distance from
the bottom of the pole to the bottom of the
adjustable foot pad, write it down. Loosen set screw in the collar of the bottom adjustable foot with
the 1/8” Allen Wrench (K). Turning the adjustable foot clockwise will lower net height, counter-
clockwise will raise net height. Each revolution of the adjustable foot will raise or lower pole by
approximately 3/16”. Make sure you use full revolutions. The set screw must rest on the machined
flat on the adjustable foot to eliminate damage to the threads. Check your math to ensure you have
moved the adjustable foot in the right direction then tighten set screw. See Figure 3.
NOTE: Excessive tightening of top rope is not necessary. Crank the winch until poles start to flex.
Further tensioning results in lowering of the top rope. Achieve proper height using the inner pole
adjustment and to achieve proper net tensioning use the rope ratchets.

10. Repeat instructions #1-#7. If your adjustments were correct you are ready to “set and play”.
Repeat instructions #8-#10 if further adjustment is needed. Once the pole length is
initially adjusted to match the floor sockets no future adjustment should be necessary.
11. It is possible to make fine tune height adjustments with the net tight and in position by
simply turning the net adjustment crank. Any fine tuning adjustments might require
additional net tensioning with the winch, or adjustment of Rope Ratchet Net Tensioning
Ropes (H).
12. Once all adjustments are completed attach Volleyball Antennas (G), Cable Covers (E) and
Pole Padding (B) prior to play.

Notice!
The CarbonMax and CarbonPro II systems allows for easy minor adjustment in height without
all the hassle of taking the net down by simply turning the adjustment crank and re-tensioning
the winch. However significant adjustment requires loosening of the net and adjustment of
collar straps. The following instructions will guide you through each different scenario you
could encounter. REMEMBER, Excessive tightening of the top rope is not necessary. Crank
the winch until poles start to flex. Further tensioning results in lowering the top of the net.
Achieve proper height using the inner pole adjustment and use the net tensioning rope ratchets
to achieve proper net tension.

1. Starting with a loose top net cable, use the net height adjustment crank to move inner poles up/down to the
desired height.
2. Adjust Collar Straps (J) so that they are 1”-2” below the bottom of the net.
3. Crank top rope tight with the winch, then pull bottom rope tight through the rope ratchet tensioning device.
4. Attach Rope Ratchet Net Tensioning Ropes (H) around pole and hook ends together, then even net out
between poles as in previous instructions and apply desired tension. See Figure 5
Height Adjustment for a Single Court System
1. Remove tension from both nets with the winches.
2. Adjust Collar Straps (J) so that they are 1”-2” below the bottom of the net.
3. Adjust all three poles, use the net height adjustment crank to move inner poles up/down to the desired
height.
4. Tighten both nets using the winches, retighten bottom ropes and reinstall and tighten Rope Ratchet Net
Tensioning Ropes (H). See Figure 6.

1. Remove tension from both nets with the winches.
2. Use the net height adjustment crank to adjust the net that will be at men height.
3. Attach the top net rope to the hook on the center pole for women net height.
4. Use the net height adjustment crank to adjust the lower net court winch pole and tighten the winch.
See Figure 7.
5. Adjust all bottom Collar Straps (J) 1”-2” below net, reattach and tension both bottom ropes.
6. Attach all Rope Ratchet Net Tensioning Ropes (H) per previous instructions.
7. Depending on height of lowest net use the 3/16” Allen Wrench (M) to move the winch above the Collar
Strap (J). On multiple side by side court systems the winch on the court adder poles should be placed
above the collars so web strap will not interfere with bottom rope attachment.
8. If you wish to install side by side nets at different heights other than men and women, use the extra
Collar Straps (J) provided to attach the top rope on the lower net court.
1. If you have purchased the Standards (A), for use in existing sockets that are not 3” diameter call your
dealer for custom floor socket sleeves available at no additional cost. You will need to provide the inside
diameter of the floor socket and the depth of the socket from the playing surface to the bottom.
2. If the Adapter Sleeves fit loosely in the floor sockets they can be shimmed with thin metal strips or layers
of duct tape can be wrapped around the outside of the sleeve at the top and the bottom until sleeve is snug
inside the existing floor sockets.
3. If your pre-existing floor sockets are more than 10” deep from the finished floor to the bottom of the socket
call your dealer for information on the Deep Socket Adapter Kits available at no additional cost.
