Goal Specifications
Determine Installation Location
Consider the following to determine where to install your
Goalsetter Basketball Goal:
• The type and strength of structure to which the goal will
be attached.
• Will backboard overhang obstruct driveway or other important
space? Maximum overhang: 32½” (0.825 m) from the mount-
ing surface to the front of the rim.
• Is there room so vehicles backing out of driveway do not strike
backboard or rim?
• Will court markings be used?
• How much playing surface is needed?
• How much playing surface will be under the backboard?
(Having the edge of the playing surface directly underneath the
backboard can result in trip hazards and unpredictable ball action
following a shot. Try to have as much playing surface as possible
behind the backboard.)
• Other functions of playing surface (driveway, playground, etc.)
• Will the goal be at least 20 ft. (7 m) from any overhead power
lines? (No overhead power lines should be within a 20 ft. (7 m)
radius of the goal.)
Required Tools and Materials:
• Level • Phillips Screwdriver
• Rubber Mallet • 9/16”, 3/4” and 15/16” Sockets and Wrenches
• 12’ Tape Measure • Wall Fasteners (not included, provided
• Ratchet by customer or installer)
• Stepladder • Drill and Drill Bits (masonry
if necessary)

Maintenance
The life of your basketball goal system depends on many variables. The climate, exposure to corrosives such as salt, organic materials,
pesticides, or herbicides, and excessive use or misuse can all contribute to failure of the goal system, which may cause property
damage or personal injury. Before each use, check the goal system for loose hardware, excessive wear, abuse, or vandalism or signs of
rust or corrosion.
For safety reasons, and to prolong the life of your basketball system, you must take the following preventative measures:
• Check all nuts and bolts. Inspect the threads and replace if necessary. If any are loose, tighten them.
• Check all parts for excessive wear and tear. If necessary, replace any parts that have been worn or damaged through usage.
• Check all sections of the goal system for visible rust or chipped or cracked paint, and if present, repair appropriately. See Paint
Touch-Up on this page.
IF RUST OR CORROSION HAS PENETRATED ANY COMPONENT, DO NOT ALLOW PLAY ON THE GOAL AND REPLACE PARTS
IMMEDIATELY.
• Contact Goalsetter Systems, Inc. for replacement parts. Only use parts provided by Goalsetter Systems, Inc. Use of other parts (a)
may cause the goal system to fail, (b) could result in death, serious injury or property damage, and (c) will void the warranty.
• Inspect the Warning Sticker on the pole. If it is ripped, faded or illegible, contact Goalsetter Systems, Inc. to request a replacement
Warning Sticker.
Cleaning
The exterior nish of your Goalsetter goal is designed for outdoor environments and should only require periodic cleaning and
inspection for imperfections that could develop over time (see Maintenance section).
When cleaning is necessary, Goalsetter recommends using water and a mild dish detergent applied with a soft, non-abrasive
cloth.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners to clean the goal. Damage to the
finish may result.
Paint Touch-Up
Goalsetter uses a two-part acrylic-enamel paint on our goals. With periodic inspection and service when needed,
the high-gloss finish is designed to last for many years. A small bottle of black paint with brush is provided with
every goal for touch up of imperfections as they develop and can be found in the hardware kit.
If more touch up is required, please contact Goalsetter Systems, Inc. or your local Goalsetter Dealer.
