Locate, identify and count all parts before starting the installation to ensure that all are correct and
correspond to the pac ing 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 chec . Verify overall height and width noted on drawings.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION
Before installing a wall mounted bac stop 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 bac stop.
The best wall
construction for use with
wall mounted bac stops
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 bac stop 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 brac ets and chain
brac ets onto the wood buc s.
2. Install the chain support brac ets and pulley support brac et onto the top wood pad using the hardware
shown in the above illustration. It will be necessary to drill the holes in the center of the wood pad to
mount the center pulley support brac et. Turn the wood pad over and use the counter bored holes as a
guide to drill the 7/16” dial holes for mounting the brac ets.
3. Install the hinge brac ets 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.

UP FOLDING WALL MOUNT
7
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 and pulley are 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.

UP FOLDING WALL MOUNT

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.
Upper chain mount and cable pulley wood pads are shown in the illustration below. The lower two
wood pads (i.e. frame mounting pads) will have two anchors on each end as shown in the illustration
and only one anchor located directly in the center of the wood pad.

UP FOLDING WALL MOUNT

Install the outer pipe weldments to the hinge points on the lower two wood pads. Install the bushings
(Item 6) into both sides of the pipe before installing the pipe into the hinge brac et.
Once the pipe has been installed into the hinge brac et and the ½” x 3 1/2” bolt is installed, add the
½” nylon loc nut and tighten until the nut just engages the hinge brac et.
Do not overtighten the nut as this will cause binding and excessive wear on the bushings and the
outer tube.
The attachment is the same for all four pipes.
Slide the inner extension pipes into
the outer extension pipes. Install a
flange bushing (Item 6) on each
side of the inner extension tubes.
Install the hinge brac ets onto each
inner pipe and
Install the ½” x 3 1/2” bolt and add
the ½” nylon loc nut and tighten
until the nut just engages the hinge
brac et.
Do not overtighten the nut as this
will cause binding and excessive
wear on the bushings and the inner
tube.
Slide the extension tube until the
distance from the wall to the face of the hinge brac et is equal to the FOB – 2.5” or FOB – 11.5”
when a height adjuster is to be used.
Install the set screw (Item 28) into the outer extension tube and lightly tighten the set screw.

Install the pull up cross tube (Item 13)
onto the top extension tubes.
Note the 3/8 x 2”, 3/8 x 2-3/4” carriage
bolts, and the 3/8” whiz-loc nuts are
supplied with item 14 and are not listed
in the parts list.
Locate the cross tube approximately 8”
from the end of the inner extension
tube. DO NOT tighten the clamp nuts
at this time. A final adjustment of the
location of the tube will be made once
the board and goal are installed.
Install the pull up cable connection
onto the pull up tube. Locate the
clamp and quic lin as shown in the
illustration at the right and in the
center of the pull up tube.
Ma e sure the quic lin is fully
closed and tightened.
Note the 3/8 x 2”, 3/8 x 1-1/4”
carriage bolts, and the 3/8” whiz-loc
nuts are supplied with item 16 and are
not listed in the parts list.
Rotate the clamp and quic lin on the
tube to approximately 45 degrees up from
horizontal and tighten the carriage bolt nuts.

INSTALLING THE BACKBOARD WITHOUT A HEIGHT ADJUSTER
Raise the arms to as close to level
as possible and support the outer
portion of the lower extension
arms with the scissor lift or
scaffolding.
Attach the lower corners of
the bac board to the lower
extension arms first to help
stabilize the bac board while
attaching the upper arms.
Attach the bac board to the
board hinge mounts using the
appropriate board mounting
hardware. Ma e sure the chain
attach brac ets are between the
upper board mounting point and
the upper hinge brac et.
Note, a glass board and carriage bolt hardware is
shown. Other style of board may require different
hardware.
Attach the turnbuc le to the chain attach plate with a
5/16” quic lin . Attach the loose end of the chain to
the turnbuc le using a quic lin .
Chec to ma e sure each side of the frame is still square to the wall. Measure the distance from the
wall to the face of the bac board on each side. Loosen the set screws in the outer tubes and slide the
inner extension arm in or out until the face of ban (FOB) is reached. Once both sides of the
bac board are at the correct FOB and the frame is still square to the wall, tighten the set screws.
Install the loc ing bolts on the extension arms the prevent movement
of the arms.
Drill a 7/16” hole through the inner extension tube using the hole in
the outer tube as a guide.
Install the 3/8” bolt (Item 26), loc nut (Item 30) and tighten securely.
Repeat the process on all four extension tubes.

UP FOLDING WALL MOUNT

Slide the pull up tube on the upper
extension arms until the center of the tube
is Dim “C” from the upper wood pad.
Ma e sure the tube is parallel with the face
of the bac board.
Tighten the clamp bolts on the tube clamps
securely.
Drill a small pilot hole in the side of the inner
extension tube and insert the ¼” self-tapping screw
just behind the clamp and on the wood pad side of
the clamp. Do this on both sides of the pull up tube.
These self- tapping screws will prevent the pull up
tube from slipping bac when the unit is being
raised.
Route the loose end of the cable through the #5
Pulley and to the hoist. Refer to the hoist
installation section of this manual for locating and
installing the hoist.
Rechec all fasteners for tightness and security.
The final step of the assembly is to level the frame
extension arm by adjusting the chain tension with
the turnbuc les. It is important to not over adjust
the chains as this causes undue stress on the chain
anchor points. Chain tension should be no more
than enough to level the side frame tubes.

UP FOLDING WALL MOUNT

INSTALLING THE BACKBOARD WITH A HEIGHT ADJUSTER
Raise the arms to as
close to level as possible
and support the outer
portion of the lower
extension arms with the
scissor lift or
scaffolding.
Attach the height
adjuster frame using
the 3/8 x 1 ½”
carriage bolts and
whizloc nuts
Ma e sure the chain
attach brac ets are
between the upper
board mounting
point and the upper
hinge brac et.
Attach the lower corners
of the frame to the lower
extension arms first to help stabilize the frame while attaching the upper arms.
Attach the turnbuc le to the chain attach plate with a 5/16” quic lin . Attach the loose end of the
chain to the turnbuc le using a quic lin .
Tighten the turn buc le by hand putting only a light tension on the chain. DO NOT fully tighten at
this time. The turnbuc les will need to be readjusted later.
Remove the support from the outer portion of the lower extension arms and allow the unit to hang on
its own.
Install one end of the ¼” galvanized aircraft cable onto the quic lin in the center of the pull up tube.
Use two ¼” cable clamps and the cable thimble and tighten the cable clamps securely.
Because the height adjuster mounting varies with the type of board, and the board to height adjuster
mounting varies as well, specific instructions for mounting both the height adjuster and the board are
supplied with the mounting its.
The illustration on the following page is for reference only and may not be the exact representation of
the board or wall mount in your application.
Please refer to the specific instructions supplied with the MTG KIT, HEIGHT ADJUSTER TO WM,
and the MTG KIT BACKBOARD TO HEIGHT ADJUSTER.

Once the height adjuster and bac board has been installed, final adjustments to the FOB and chain
tension can be made.
Chec to ma e sure each side of the frame is still square to the wall. Measure the distance from the
wall to the face of the bac board on each side. Loosen the set screws in the outer tubes and slide the
inner extension arm in or out until the correct face of ban (FOB) is reached. Once both sides of the
bac board are at the correct FOB and the frame is still square to the wall, tighten the set screws.
Slide the pull up tube on the upper
extension arms until the center of the
tube is Dim “C” from the upper wood
pad. Ma e sure the tube is parallel with
the face of the bac board.

Hoist Locations
The hoist locations are dependent upon the building conditions, and customer preference; however, it
is important to place the hoist in a location that is best for the operation of the bac stop and yet
relatively easy access for maintenance. The illustration below will show preferred and suggested
locations for the hoists.
Hoist or winch installations are dependent upon building conditions and structure. Follow the
installation instructions provided with the hoist or winch and the instructions in the job pac age
drawings for proper installation of the hoist or winch.
