Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of a model 5300 Carbon Fiber Telescopic Volleyball System. To
ensure that our equipment will provide years of use to you, we are including this installation,
operation, and maintenance guide. This guide will provide information on the proper assembly
and installation methods, operating procedures, and preventative maintenance of your portable
backstop.
Please note that a Bill of Materials is being included with this guide. Please check that all of the
parts called out on the Bill of Materials are present prior to beginning assembly and setup.
Please do not substitute for factory parts. Please contact the PSS or Gared Sports customer
service department and allow them to determine if substitute parts are acceptable.
It is recommended that an individual who has been properly trained perform assembly and set up
of the backstop. No one under the age of 18 should attempt assembly or set up of the unit, unless
properly supervised.
To prevent normal wear and tear from shortening the life of the unit, preventative maintenance
inspections and repairs should be performed at least once per year. If the units are 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 one of our authorized dealers.
When contacting your dealer, please have information regarding the name of the project and any

Floor Sleeve Installation
1. Mark (2) points on the floor exactly 3 feet apart (refer to most recent set of architectural
prints for exact locations within the gym). These represent the CENTERS of each sleeve
installation. If sleeves are to be more or less than 3 feet apart, contact a PSS or Gared
representative for information regarding this alteration.
2. Cut (2) round holes through the playing surface 4-3/4” to 5” diameter centered on the
spots marked in step one. (See page 7)
3. After cutting out the circle in the surface flooring, cut a similar hole in the concrete slab
below. The diameter of this hole should be about 5”; however the size is not critical.
The hole must be large enough to accommodate the sleeve at 3 degrees off vertical.
4. Cut or drill the hole completely through the concrete slab. Under the slab, hollow out (by
hand) an area about 1 -20” deep from the playing surface. (Refer to page 5 and 7)
5. A “non-shrink” grout should be used to anchor the sleeve. Pour the grout mixture into the
hole until it is just below the BOTTOM of the concrete hole. Cover the sleeve during
installation to prevent debris from falling in or grout from entering the bottom of sleeve.
. Insert the 3-1/2” O.D. steel sleeve and work it down into the grout until
the inside bottom of the sleeve is 11” below the TOP surface of the
floor. Incorrect sleeve depth will result in a net height error. Also be
aware that the sleeve must tilt 3º away from the court. The 3º will
correct when the net is installed and tightened. Note: 3
o
is
approximately 9/16” in 11”.
7. Wait a minimum of (7) days to allow the grout to cure before setting up
the posts.
8. Note: A skilled woodworker will be needed or the ollowing operation!
Using a router and template, make a
counterbore -7/1 ” diameter by 9/1 ” deep
centered over the original 5” hole in the floor,
to receive the brass floor cover. A template
can be made from a piece of Masonite or thick
plastic. A template is needed to achieve a good
and accurate cut. Many router and template combinations are possible. One
example of a router and template combination is shown on page . A finished
counterbore of -7/1 ” diameter is what is important! Practice on a piece of scrap
wood first. If the hole is too big, corrections may not be possible!
9. Install the floor covers. Usually the covers are oriented to open outward away from the
playing area. However, this is a matter of preference. Drill holes and insert screws as
shown on page 8.

Post and Net Installation Instructions
1. Lift and rotate the floor covers out of the way. Insert the Winch Post and End Post.
2. Lay out the net in the approximate position between
the two posts.
3. To adjust the net height, pull out the pin and slide the
inner post up or down until the desired net height
indicator can be seen through the alignment view hole.
See regulation net heights below. Indicators are as
follows: “M” for men’s height, “W” for women’s, “J”
for junior’s, and “G” for girl’s height. When the
proper indicator is showing in the lower hole, insert
the pin in upper hole until it passes through entire
outer tube.
Fine
adjustments
are made by adjusting the rubber foot on the
bottom of the post. Post cable height should be
approx ¾” to 1” higher than center court
requirements at setup. Set this height now, as
adjustment later will require the net to be removed.
4. Secure Post Cable over pulley on volleyball post
top.
5. Rotate the crank handle of the winch and attach to
D ring on winch strap with snap link.
. Attach the Net Cable to the top bracket of the end
post with a snap link. Attach the net cable to the
Post Cable with a snap link.
7. Next, turn the winch handle to tighten the net cable. Note that the height of the net is
measured at the center of the court and will be approximately ¾” higher at the court lines
when properly tensioned. Be sure the winch post is rotated so the Net Cable is aligned
with the net as the net begins to tension. Failure to do so will cause excessive wear.
 DO NOT OVER TENSION THE NET.
 Tension the winch only tight enough to raise center
point o net to appropriate height, as noted by above
chart.
 Additional tension beyond the tension required to
reach designated center net height will damage
equipment, it will not a ect the net play or tightness o net.

8. Once the net height is adjusted with the winch,
center the net on the winch top cable so that there is
equal space between the ends of the net and the
posts. Wrap the net straps around the posts as
shown in the illustration to the right and below. Pull
the straps tight and press the Velcro surfaces
together. These straps are responsible or
maintaining the net tension and may need to be
retightened periodically. Expect some initial stretch
in the net.
9. Minor height adjustments can be made by screwing
the foot pads on the bottom of the posts in or out.
(Posts must be removed from the floor sleeves to
make adjustments, so it is best to measure before
attaching net)
10. Install the net side markers, 7 07-22-00, which will attach the net antenna to the net over
each side court line.
11. Insert the net antenna. Antenna should be adjusted to mark the outer edge of the 30 ft
[9.144 m] court width.
12. Install the buckle covers over each net strap buckle.
13. Install post pads by wrapping pad around the post with the straps towards the court side of
post. Secure with the hook and loop straps sewn to the post padding.
14. To take volleyball system down;
a. Remove antenna.
b. Unhook net straps from posts at both ends.
c. Crank winch until net cable can be unhooked from snap links.
d. Fold net up and transport net and posts to storage.

Maintenance
1. General inspection of equipment when used should be performed to ensure no catastrophic failures
have occurred during the course of use between yearly inspections.
2. It is recommended that yearly inspections be conducted to determine if any bolts or any other
hardware has become worn or loosened. A sample check sheet has been provided for you in this
guide.
3. During yearly inspections, all moving parts should be inspected while in operation. Key points to
look for include rotation points where bushings contact metal, winches, pulleys and quick links.
The strap should be looked at for any degradation or fraying.
4. Any loose bolts or nuts should be tightened.
5. Check Sliding components and strap for wear.
