Determine Installation Location
Consider the following to determine where to install your
Goalsetter® Basketball Goal:
• When extended, will backboard overhang obstruct driveway or
other important space? Maximum overhang: 61” (1.5 m) from
the front of the pole to the front of the rim.
• Is there room so vehicles backing out of driveway do not strike
backboard?
• 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.)
• Will the ground anchor for the goal avoid underground power,
gas, telephone, water and other utility lines? (See 811 One Call
Warning box on page 2 for more information or call your local
utility company.)

Step 1: Locate and unpack a 4” ground anchor (Item
G2440). Remove plastic plugs from bolt holes and ensure the
threads are in good condition. REPLACE THE PLUGS – they will
keep concrete and debris from the bolt holes during installation.
Leave the hinge pin in place as well.
Step 2: Determine hole location. When installed, the
edge of the ground anchor must be a minimum of 6” (15.2 cm)
away from the playing surface. Follow One Call or your utility’s
recommendations as to how close you may dig to a marked utility.
IMPORTANT
You MUST dig the anchor hole at least 48” (1.2 m) deep.
WARNING
Before digging for the ground anchor, check for underground
power, gas, telephone, water and other utility lines. Failure to do
so could result in serious injury. See 811 One Call Warning box
on page 2 for more information or call your local utility company.
Step 3: Dig hole 48” to 50” (1.2 m – 1.3 m) deep and 14-16”
(0.35 m – 0.40 m) in diameter using a spade, shovel, auger or
post hole digger.
TIME OUT TIP:
If you plan on mixing concrete in
stages, work quickly to minimize time between batches.
Step 4: Mix concrete. Put concrete in wheelbarrow. Add the
amount of water recommended on the bag, and mix with hoe.
Step 5: Begin adding concrete into hole until concrete is
approximately 28”- 30” (.7 m – .8 m) deep.
4
TIME OUT TIP: The arrow on the decal
MUST be pointing toward the playing surface.
Step 6: Position 4” ground anchor (Item G2440) in
center of hole with hinge side toward and parallel with playing
surface. Using a level, ensure the anchor is level front-to-back
and left-to-right. All edges of the ground anchor must be 6” (15.2
cm) away from all sides of hole and the top of the ground anchor
within a range of 1”- 3” (25-75 mm) above the level of the playing
surface.
TIME OUT TIP: As you add concrete, occasionally
insert a stir rod (such as a broomstick) into three
or four places in the concrete and plunge up and
down to help eliminate air bubbles.
Step 7: Continue adding concrete until concrete is within
1”- 1.5” (25-38 mm) of anchor plate bottom, or level with the
landscape – whichever comes first. Slope top of concrete away
from pole with trowel to create a smooth surface.
IMPORTANT
• Periodically re-check the level of the anchor plate in both
directions as you add more concrete.
• Slope the top of the concrete ll away from the ground
anchor in all directions to shed moisture away.
TIME OUT TIP: If you must adjust the height,
be sure to re-check level and that the anchor is
parallel with playing surface!
Step 8: If needed, adjust anchor plate height. The top of
the ground anchor should be within a range of 1”- 3” (25-75 mm)
above playing surface. Be sure to re-check level.

Goal Alignment
WARNING!
For safe assembly, do the following:
• Use two or three people to raise goal assembly and hold it in
a vertical position. Two or three people in good physical con-
dition and capable of lifting at least 90-100 lbs. (40-45 kg)
each are recommended for safe installation and assembly.
• DO NOT adjust height of backboard or attach rim until pole is
raised and appropriately bolted.
• Correct sequence of hardware installation 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.
Step 8: Fully tighten ve bolts using a ¾” socket with a
torque wrench. The torque wrench is to be set at 75 ft/lb on dry
threads and 55 ft/lb on lubricated threads. NOTE: The anchor
plate is threaded, so there is no need to use nuts on bolts.
IMPORTANT
The bolts must pass all the way through the ground anchor
plate. If they do not pass through the ground anchor plate
when fully tightened, STOP installation, contact Goalsetter
Systems, Inc. and DO NOT allow play.

Raise and Adjust Backboard
WARNING!
To prevent serious injury or death, if using a stepladder, make
sure it is in good condition, setting on a level and stable surface
and do not exceed its weight rating.
Use two or three people to raise backboard assembly and hold
it at the 10’ position. They should be in good physical condition
and capable of lifting at least 90-100 lbs. (40-45 kg) each for
safe installation and assembly.
Step 1: Measure the distance from the playing surface to
top of rim with a tape measure.
Step 2: Subtract the measured distance from 10’ – this is
the amount the goal will need to be adjusted.
Step 3: While one or two people hold up backboard,
remove jack pivot bolt, two at washers and locknut from lower
extension arm using a rubber mallet and a steel punch.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT over-extend threaded rod in stabilizer bar. If total
length needed is over 23”, DO NOT USE. Call Goalsetter or your
local dealer for a custom-length stabilizer bar.
Step 4: Lengthen or shorten the stabilizer bar by
turning it 1/2turn for every 1/4” of adjustment needed (or 1 full
turn for every 1/2” adjustment needed).
Step 5: Re-attach stabilizer bar to lower extension arm
using the hardware removed in Step 3.
Step 6: Repeat steps 1-5 until a rim height of 10’ is achieved.
IMPORTANT
After all height adjustments have been completed, make sure
all hardware is properly tightened, including stabilizer bar
locking nut. Nut should be tightened toward the top of threaded
rod, against top tube section using a 1
1/8” wrench.

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 replace-
ment 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.
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 Systems, Inc. uses a two-part acrylic-
enamel paint on the 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 in the hardware
kit for touch up of imperfections as they develop. If
more touch up is required, please contact Goalsetter
Systems, Inc. or your local Goalsetter Dealer.
Lubrication
The jack is pre-lubricated. As with any mechanical component,
periodic inspection and service is required. Goalsetter Systems,
Inc. recommends applying lubrication each spring and fall to keep
a smooth operation of the height actuator. Failure to do so could
result in jack failure and not be covered under warranty.
Lubricate jack: Apply a liberal amount of lubricating oil to the
oil hole located at end of jack extension arm.
IMPORTANT
A general-purpose lubricating oil like “3-in-1” or lightweight
motor oil is recommended. DO NOT use a penetrating oil
(i.e. WD40.) Contact Goalsetter Systems, Inc. or your local
Goalsetter dealer for questions.
