each are recommended for safe installation and assembly.
t DO NOT adjust height of backboard or attach rim until pole is
raised and appropriately bolted.
t $PSSFDUTFRVFODFPGIBSEXBSFJOTUBMMBUJPOMUST be followed
during assembly.
To avoid injury, keep fingers and toes away from the ground
plate while raising the goal assembly to the vertical position.
Step 1: Remove banding and edge protection from
backboard. Peel back TOP 1/3of protective sheeting from the
backboard. This will allow you to reach the sheeting once goal
has been raised, yet protects the surface of the backboard during
installation.
Step 2: Locate ve anchor bolts. Prepare them for use by
having lock washers slipped on and placed near ground anchor.
Step 3: Using at least two people, carefully push
up on backboard to raise goal assembly to vertical
position. The installation clip will fall away. Save installation clip
for future disassembly.

Step 4: Fasten pole to threaded ground anchor plate
by installing and hand tightening the three rear anchor bolts with
lock washers.
Step 5: Fasten pole to threaded ground anchor plate
by installing and hand tightening the two front anchor bolts with
lock washers.
TIME OUT TIP: Install rear three anchor bolts first
and then the front two anchor bolts.
Step 6: Snug tighten the ve anchor bolts, then
check goal assembly with a level and inspect visually
to determine if it is parallel and plumb to the playing surface.
Step 7: If adjustments are necessary, slightly loosen
bolts to rotate goal.
