The sheet metal Tower (#22) can flex to get
wider or narrower, on units with a 72” or 60”
backboard the Tower will need to be flexed out
to fit the brackets. On units with a 54”
backboard the Tower may need to be flexed in.
Make sure the bracket is centered from front to
back, then tighten front & back Nylon bolts.
Lastly, tighten middle bolt until the brackets
