1. Read this manual carefully before starting assembly. Read each step completely before beginning
each step.
2. Some smaller parts may be shipped inside larger parts. Check inside all parts and cartons
before assembling or ordering parts.
3. Tomake assembly of your basketball system easier, use the Hardware Identifier on page 3
and 4 to identify and sort all fasteners. Check all cartons for kits. All hardware is not
located in one kit.
4. Do not tighten hardware until instructed to do so. If hardware is tightened too soon, mounting
holes may not align and parts may not easily fit together. Leave locknuts slightly loose until you are
instructed to tighten them.

INSTALLATION TIMELINE
1. Prior to anchor system and goal assembly, call utility services for location of underground utility lines before you dig.
2. Vertical main post assembly is a two part process.
ANCHOR SYSTEM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Day 1)
Before digging hole for anchor system, check for
buried power, gas, water, and telecommunication
lines! Failure to do so could result in serious or fatal
injury! Contact your local utility company if unsure.
PART 1
Day 1. Complete Anchor System Installation Instructions.
(Below)
Day 2-4. Allow concrete to cure.
PART 2
Day 5. Complete GoalrillaTM assembly instructions. (Requires
four adults)
Figure 1
Figure 2
Let concrete cure for a MINIMUM of 72 hours.
2. Assemble anchor system as follows: Thread nut (#35) to bottom
of threads on anchor bolt (#39) insert threads of anchor bolt
(#39) through hole on anchor plate (#38) and secure with nut
(#35). Repeat this step for the remaining
anchor bolts. See
Figure 2. Note:
Each leg of
anchor bolts
should face the
anchor bolt to the
right. See Detail
A.
1. Determine the location of the anchor
system. The proper location is as close to
the court without making contact,
as shown in Figure 1. This,
however,is a general rule.
If you need to locate the
anchor system in a location other than
this, use the following dimensions as a
guide.
Items needed for Anchor Installation (not included)
11 - 80 lb. bags of concrete (2-3 extra recommended)
1 - post hole digger (optional)
1 - 15/16” open end wrench
1 - 15/16” socket and ratchet (optional)
1 - wheel barrow
1 - garden hose
1 - level
1 - tape measure
Note: For best results with less vibration, anchor system
should be independent of court. If pouring concrete for
both at same time, add an expansion joint in between.
Overhang when adjusted to 10 ft. = 31”
1 - concrete form (see note after step 2)
Note: The bottom four nuts will be forever embedded in
concrete. The top four nuts remain on bolts and are
used for leveling. (See Step 9 on page 9)

CLEARANCE
REQUIRED
Note: When digging hole, if you hit rock
and cannot dig through contact a contractor.
Note: Using a concrete form for the top 4" of the concrete
is recommended. Cardboard forms can be purchased at
some hardware and home stores or a wooden form can
be constructed out of 2 x 4's.
3. Mix and pour concrete into hole. Follow instructions on
concrete bag. Stop about 18" below court level.
4.
5. Place form in desired location and finish pouring concrete
up to court level.
6. Push anchor system into concrete and agitate to work out
voids in concrete. Immediately use a level to level and square
anchor plate to playing surface. Clean off any concrete that
may be on exposed threads.
Note: Failure to dig and fill hole as instructed will result
in increased system vibration.
Insert four reinforcement bars (Key #40) into concrete 8"
apart creating a square in center on hole.
*Tip: It is always a good idea to purchase one or two
extra bags of concrete, just in case you need them. If
extra bags are not used you can return them to the store.

to thread into each side of Actuator. See Figure 4. Tighten
bolts tight.
NOTE: It is important for the installer to understand the
necessity of the Plastic washers (#5) provided. These
washers adequately space painted parts at all pivot points.
Neglecting the use of these washers will result in rusted
parts.
1. Attach Post Brackets (#48) to outside of brackets on back
of Post Assembly (#2). Secure with two Hex Head Bolts (#25),
four Flat Head Washers (#26) and two Locknuts (#24) in

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
BACKBOARD CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Items needed to clean backboard:
100% cotton soft cloth, (only) Glass cleaner
Clean backboard using only a 100% Cotton soft cloth and glass cleaner. Clean glass as you would clean household windows. Strong cleansers will
damage backboard and void warranty.
RIM
Only hang from the rim briefly to regain balance or avoid injuring others. Release the rim as soon as safely
possible. Rims are not warranted for any defects other than workmanship. Torn back plates, damaged springs, bent rings, damaged eye bolts, and torn
or distorted rim supports result from hanging on the rim and are not warranted.
The goal should not be cranked over 10'. Adjustments of the goal should be done under adult supervision.
When attempting slam dunk activity you should always wear a mouth guard to avoid dental injury.
RUST
MAINTENANCE
To ensure ease of operation, lubricate all pivot points at least every 6 months or as needed with a good lubricant such as WD-40.
Inspect your pole periodically, if rust should appear, remove loose paint, sand lightly, primer and paint with exterior flat matte finish
enamel paint.
