INSTALLATION TIMELINE
PART 1
Day 1. Post assembly, pour concrete, set post and
Day 2. Allow concrete to cure.
PART 2
Day 3. Complete Silverback®
assembly instructions. (Requires
3-4 adults)
Before digging hole for your system, check for
buried power, gas, water, and telecommunication
lines! Failure to do so could result in serious or fatal
injury! Contact your local utility company if unsure.
Note: For best results with less vibration, your system
should be independent of court. If pouring concrete for
both at same time, add an expansion joint in between.
2.
1. Determine the location of the hole.
The proper location is as close to the
court without making contact, as
shown in Figure 1. This,
however, is a general rule.
If you need to locate the
hole in a location other than this, use
the following dimensions as a guide.
Overhang when adjusted to 10 ft. = 14”
2. Vertical main post assembly is a two part process.
1. Prior to pole installation and goal assembly, call utility services for location of underground utility lines before you dig.

PLAYING SURFACE
8. Set the bottom of the pole on the masonry block in the hole. Make sure the
Pole stays on the block as shown in Figure 4. The “Bury line” should be level
with the playing surface see Detail 1.
While one person holds the pole in place have two other people finish pouring
concrete up to court level. Use a level to make sure pole is vertical.
9.
Before the concrete sets up, be sure the pole is vertical and oriented correctly.
The stop bar located on the top pole should be parallel with the playing surface
or court. This will insure the backboard is oriented correctly after assembly.
Also, use the template provided on page 17 of the manual to align the pole to
the playing surface.
10.
THE FOLLOWING STEPS WILL REQUIRE
AT LEAST THREE CAPABLE ADULTS.

STOP BAR IS LOCATED AT THE BACK OF THE POLE.
For the backboard to be square with the playing
surface, make sure the Stop Bar is square with the
playing surface. Use alignment template provided
on page #17 of the manual.

11. Stabilize the pole by using six 2X4’s and placing two 50 lbs.
bags of sand on top to keep pole from shifting, periodically
check the pole with level to ensure that pole is vertical.
See Figure 5.
12. Let concrete stand for a MINIMUM of 48 hours (2 days).
Note: Periodically check pole with level to ensure that pole is vertical.
Figure 5
IMPORTANT!
Let concrete stand for a MINIMUM of 48

MANUAL DEL USARIO
1. Lea este manual cuidadosamente antes de empezar a ensamblar. Lea completamente cada uno de los
pasos antes de empezar cada paso.
2. Algunas partes pequeñas pueden ser empacadas dentro de las partes grandes. Verifique en el
interior de todas las partes y cartones antes de ensamblar o solicitar partes.
3. Para hacer el ensamblado de su Sistema de Baloncesto más fácil, Utilice la lista de Identificación de
Tornillos que se encuentra en la página 3 para identificar y clasificar todos los sujetadores. Busque
en todas las cajas por los juegos de tornillos, ya que no todas las partes se encuentran en un sólo
juego.
4. No ajuste las partes hasta que las instrucciones se lo indiquen. Si las partes se ajustan antes de lo
indicado, es posible que los hoyos no queden alineados y las partes queden fuera de su lugar. Deje las tuercas
levemente flojas hasta que las instrucciones le indiquen ajustarlas.
5. Un destornillador eléctrico es de gran ayuda en el ensamblado. Sin embargo, por favor póngalo a baja
velocidad y tenga cuidado ya que podría sobre apretar las partes y barrer la rosca de los tornillos.
6. Guarde este manual en caso de que tenga que contactar la compañía para reemplazo de partes.
