Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of a Model 2300 4 point Stationary Wall Mount Backstop. To
ensure that our equipment will provide years of use to you, we are including this operation, and
maintenance guide. This guide will provide information on the proper operating procedures, and
preventative maintenance of your gymnasium 4 point stationary wall mount backstop.
Do not make substitutions for any factory parts. If any parts are missing, do not substitute
non-factory parts. Please contact your authorized dealer or manufacturer if any parts are missing or
damaged.
It is recommended that an individual who has been properly trained perform operation of the 4
point stationary wall mount backstop. No one under the age of 18 should operate the backstop, unless
properly supervised.
To prevent normal wear and tear from shortening the life of the backstop, preventative
maintenance inspections and repairs should be performed at least once per year. If the backstop is
subject to high or unusual usage, inspections should be scheduled to occur more frequently. If items
are found to be nonconforming, replacements can be ordered from an authorized dealer. When
contacting your dealer, please have information regarding the name of the project, and any applicable
warranty information.
Please note that manufacturer assumes no responsibility for the building structure to support
its products. It is the responsibility of the building designers to determine the correct structure size to
support our products. We will provide your structural engineers with all required weight and loading
information for the project in order for them to calculate the appropriate structure.

Locate, identify and count all parts before starting the installation to ensure that all are correct and
correspond to the packing list/production drawings. If any parts are missing or damaged, DO NOT
SUBSTITUTE. Contact your authorized dealer or the manufacturer for assistance in obtaining the
correct part.
Also review production drawings to ensure that building conditions have not changed since the initial
field check. Verify overall height and width noted on drawings.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION
Before installing a wall mounted backstop unit, it is imperative the structural integrity of the wall has
been evaluated and approved by an architect or structural engineer for the loads that will be imparted
to the wall by the backstop.
The best wall construction for use with wall mounted backstops is concrete masonry units (CMU) or
solid concrete panel. Further, through bolting of the wood pads to the wall is the recommended
method of attachment. However, when through bolting is not possible, the anchors used must be of a
type that will provide at least 5 times the load listed for the anchor point of the unit. All anchors,
including through bolts, must be minimum ½” diameter and at least SAE Grade 5 equivalent material.
Mounting the wall mounted backstop to a wood or metal stud structure is not recommended or
approved by the manufacturer unless the structure has been reinforced as specifically designed by an
architect or structural engineer for the desired wall mounted unit.
Please refer to the load charts on the following page for information concerning the specific unit
being installed.

INSTALLATION
Installation instructions below are general in nature. Your exact installation needs to follow the parts
and any specific instruction included in your specific project’s production drawings.
1. Before installing the wood pads on the wall, you must first preassemble the hinge brackets and chain
brackets onto the wood bucks.
2. Install the chain support brackets onto the top wood pad using the hardware shown in the above
illustration.
3. Install the extension tube wall brackets on the center and lower wood pad using the hardware shown in
the above illustrations.
4. The wood pads are now ready to be installed onto the wall.

WOOD PAD LOCATIONS
Always refer to specific dimensions outlined in the production drawings shipped for the specific
project. Dimensions of the specific project may vary from the dimensions outlined below.
The upper wood pad with the chain anchors should be mounted in the same plane as the two frame
mounting wood pads. The load information for the upper chain anchor is based on the wood pad
located in the same plane. Contact the manufacturer for correct reaction loads if there is a wall
condition that does not allow the wood pads for the chain anchors to be in the same plane as the
frame pads.

WOOD PAD WALL ATTACHMENT
When attaching the wood pads to the wall, it is important to place the anchors in a location that will
not reduce the strength of the wood. Anchors should be ½” diameter and the holes in the wood pads
should be no larger than 9/16” in diameter. The centerline of the holes should not be closer than 2”
from the edge or end of the wood pads.
Refer to the illustration below for the recommended locations of the anchors on the wood pads.
Be sure the direction of fold is correct.

Install the outer pipe weldments to the wall
brackets on the lower two wood pads. Slide the
outer pipe over the bracket tube and insert the
flange bushings (Item 6) into both sides of the
pipe. Make sure the bushings go through both
outer pipe and bracket tube.
Once the bushings have been installed into the
pipe, install the ½ x 3 ½” hex bolt through the
bushings and install the ½” nylon lock nut.
Tighten the nut until there is no play between the
bushings and the pipe.
Do not overtighten the nut as this may crimp the
tube and damage the wall bracket.
The attachment is the same for all four pipes
Slide the inner extension pipes into
the outer extension pipes.
Install the board mtg. bracket over the
inner extension tube. Align the holes
in the bracket with the holes in the
tube and insert the flange bushings
(Item 6) into both sides of the pipe.
Make sure the bushings go through
both bracket and inner tube.
Once the bushings have been installed
into the pipe, install the ½ x 3 ½” hex
bolt through the bushings and install
the ½” nylon lock nut. Tighten the
nut until there is no play between the
bushings and the pipe.
Do not overtighten the nut as this may
crimp the tube and damage the board
bracket.
Slide the extension tube until the distance from the wall to the face of the board bracket is equal to the
FOB – 2.5” or FOB – 11.5” when a height adjuster is to be used. Install the set screw (Item 24) into
the outer extension tube and lightly tighten the set screw.
