Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of a model 7200 Collegiate 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 an authorized dealer. When
contacting your dealer, please have information regarding the name of the project and any
applicable warranty information.

Floor Sleeve Installation
1. Mark (2) spots on the floor exactly 36 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 36 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 16-20” deep from the playing surface. (Refer to page 5and page 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.
6. Insert the 4-1/4” O.D. steel sleeve and work it down into the grout until
the inside bottom of the sleeve is 14” 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: 3o is approximately 11/16” in 14”.
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 for the following operation!
Using a router and template, make a
counterbore 6-7/16” diameter by 9/16” 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 6. A finished
counterbore of 6-7/16” 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 on the cam lock
and slide the rail to a position where the net
cable attachment points are approximately 3/4”
[19 mm] higher than the desired net height at the
center of the court. See regulation net heights
below. Push the cam lock lever down firmly to
lock the rail in position.

GIRL'SVB 78" [1.981m]
BADMINTON 60" [1.524m]
TENNIS 42" [1.067m]
4. Rotate the crank handle of the winch counter
clockwise until the belt is near full extension.
5. Attach the net cable to the J-hook on the end
post with. Attach the net cable to the winch belt
with a snap link.
6. Next, turn the winch handle clockwise 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 belt is
aligned with the net as the net begins to tension. Failure to do so will cause excessive
belt wear.
DO NOT OVER TENSION THE NET.
DO NOT TENSION NET IN THE COUNTERCLOCKWISE DIRECTION.
7. If net height adjustments are necessary, release the tension on the net and cable. Raise the
cam lock lever and slide the rail up or down to the required adjustment. Lock the cam
lock lever and re-tension the net cable and net straps.
a. The height of the net will vary only slightly with the tightness of the cable. If the
height of the net needs significant adjustment, loosen the net cable before
adjusting and changed as noted in step #3.

b. The net cable tension does not make the net play livelier as the net can slide from
side to side on the net cable. This is accomplished by adjusting the net straps as
described in step #7.
8. Once the net height is adjusted, center the net so that there is equal space between the ends
of the net and the posts. Undo the Velcro net straps as they come shipped with the net.
Wrap the straps around the posts as shown in the illustration at the bottom of this page.
Pull the straps tight and press the Velcro surfaces together. These straps are responsible
for 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)
TOP VIEW OF NET STRAP PLACEMENT
Note: Winch post has double footman’s loops on the top and
center net straps. Bottom net strap is a single footman’s loop.
10. Install the net side markers, 7607-22-00, 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 counterclockwise 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.
