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)
5. Depending on the type of floor, and the supports present under the wood floor, cutting the
hole for the sleeve could create a “dead spot” on the floor. This is when a ball does not
bounce as high at the install point as it did prior to cutting the hole. If there is concern of
this happening additional blocking can be added to alleviate the dead spot.
a. Cut ( ) blocks of wood 1” to 3” wide, 4” long and thick enough to be able to slide
between the cement and the subfloor without pushing the flooring up.
b. Make sure cement surface under the subfloor and the bottom of the blocks are
clean and dry.
c. Apply a small amount of appropriate adhesive to the concrete side of the wood
block. ONLY APPLY ADHESIVE TO CONCRETE SIDE OF BLOCK.
d. Slide blocks under subfloor with adhesive side toward cement as shown on page 7
and 8.
e. Bounce a basketball near the hole to make sure there is no dead spot remaining.
. 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.
7. Insert the 3-3/4” 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”.
8. Wait a minimum of (7) days to allow the grout to cure before setting up the posts.

9. Note: A skilled woodworker will be needed for the followin 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
10. 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 Installation Instructions
1. Lift and rotate the floor covers out of
the way. Insert the Winch Post(s)
and End Post. 102 & 103 systems
will have (2) Winch Posts and (1)
End Post. One of the Winch Posts
will be used as a center post.
2. To adjust the net height, pull out the
pin and slide the inner post up or
down until the cable over the top of
the post is at a position
approximately 3/4” [19 mm] higher
than the desired net height at the
center of the court. See regulation
net heights below. Check the outer
post holes and insert the pin into the
hole that closest aligns with the inner
post hole.
 A 1” [25 mm] course height
adjustment can be made by moving
the inner up or down a hole in the
outer post.
 Fine adjustments are made by
adjusting the rubber foot on the
bottom of the post.

Net Installation Instructions (6100 & 6105)
1. Lay out the net in the approximate position between the two posts.
2. Make sure the winch is centered below the top cable ensuring a
straight-line feed from the net to the winch by loosening the winch
positioning knob and positioning the winch bracket assembly
accordingly. Re-tighten the winch positioning knob.
3. Rotate the crank handle of the winch until the belt reaches the top of
the post (refer to Figure below).
4. Attach the net to the End Post T- handle pin using the snap link as
shown right (see figure “END POST TOP”).
5. Make sure that the short winch cable on the Winch Post is attached to
the end of the winch strap with a quick link.
. Attach the free net cable to the winch cable with a quick link (see
figure “WINCH POST TOP”). Cable should be in pulley roove, not over T-handle pin.
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 cable is ali ned with
the net as the net be ins to tension. Failure to do so will cause excessive wear.

Net Installation Instructions (6102 & 6103)
1. Lay out the nets in the approximate positions between the three
posts.
2. Make sure the winch is centered below the top cable ensuring a
straight-line feed from the net to the winch by loosening the winch
positioning knob and positioning the winch bracket assembly
accordingly. Re-tighten the winch positioning knob (refer to winch
figure on previous page).
3. Rotate the crank handles on the winches until the belts reach the top
of the posts.
4. Attach the first net to the End Post T- handle pin using the snap link
as shown right (see figure “END POST TOP”).
5. Make sure that the short winch cable on the center Winch Post is
attached to the end of the winch strap with a quick link.
. Attach the free net cable to the center winch cable with a quick link (see figure “WINCH
POST TOP”). Cable should be in pulley roove, not over T-handle pin.

 The Net Top Cable is fully tensioned when the court
center of the net no lon er raises with additional
ti htenin of the winch.
 DO NOT OVER TENSION THE NET.
o The height of the net will vary only slightly with the tightness of the cable. If the
height of the net requires further adjustment, loosen the net cable, and adjust with
course adjustment holes or with rubber foot as noted in step #2 of “Post
Installation Instruction”. To adjust with rubber foot the net will need to be
completely detached from the posts.
o The net cable tension does not make the net play livelier as the net can slide from
side to side on the net cable. Livelier net plat is accomplished by adjusting the net
straps as described in following steps.

Men’s VB 95 5/8 Inches 2.429 meters
Women’s VB 88 1/8 Inches 2.238 meters
Youth VB 84 Inches 2.134 meters
Girl’s VB 78 Inches 1.981 meters

10. Once the net height is adjusted, center the net on the top cable so that there is equal space
between the ends of the net and the posts (about 23” per side as shown above). Undo the
Velcro net straps as they come shipped with the net. Wrap the straps around the posts as
shown in the illustration below. 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. Check cable tension after tightening
straps, more tension on the winch may be needed.
11. Install the net side marker sleeves, 7 07-22-00, which will attach the net antenna to the net
over each side court line.
12. Insert the net antenna into the net side marker sleeves. Side marker sleeves and antennae
should be adjusted to mark the outer edge of the 30 ft [9.144 m] court width.
13. Install the buckle covers over each net strap buckle.
14. 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.

Troubleshootin
 Volleyball posts are not perpendicular to floor when inserted in floor
sleeves.
As noted on page 7, the posts are to be at a 3-degree angle when installed,
this is to accommodate the flex of the post when under tension.
 Volleyball top not ali ned with winch.
Loosen “Winch Positioning nob” (see page 10) on winch bracket and
rotate winch to align winch strap with slot in volleyball top. Tighten knob to
keep from moving.
 Volleyball net straps not lon enou h to o around post and lock
to ether
1. Make sure that the net is centered between volleyball posts
2. Make sure top cable is under full tension before attaching net straps
3. Adjust buckle in as far as possible
4. Measure floor centers to ensure that the sleeves are 36 feet apart on
center.
 Volleyball net top cable too lon / will not tension fully
1. Attach net top cable directly to T-Handle Pin by pulling pin out of the
volleyball top, removing quick link, sliding top cable loop into the slot
and replace T-Handle Pin. This will gain an extra 1-1/2 to 2 inches.
2. Make sure the sleeves are slightly angled by observing the angle of
the posts before under winch tension.

6100 Scholastic Telescopic Volleyball System

 Volleyball net top cable too short / will not reach both posts
1. Make sure top cable is not directly attached to T-Handle Pin but
attached to quick link, and the quick link attached to T-Handle Pin.
2. Make sure the sleeves are only slightly angled by observing the angle
of the posts before under winch tension, angle should not be more
than 3-degrees.
3. Make sure that the winch side cable is not outside the T-Handle pin
but seated in the pulley under the T-Handle pin (see illustrations on
below).
 Winch bracket slips up post when placin net under tension
1. Tighten “Winch Positioning nob” (see page 10)
2. Bracket may slip when cable exceeds necessary tension to maintain
net height.
