(if applicable) - Add 1 Hinge Bolt, Nut and 4x Nylon Washers to the back of the
Hinge Adaptor as shown in Fig 3, and insert the Hinge Tube into the Socket. Leave the Hinge open with the
Top Tube facing in towards the pitch as shown in Fig 4. If the 2 Hinge adaptors require assembling together;
ensure that there are 4 Nylon Washers on the hinge bolt separating each part of the hinge.
(if applicable) - Fit M10x20mm
bolt in the bottom hinge adaptor firmly against the
inside wall of the socket. This will prevent the
hinge adaptor from pulling out of the socket
when being raised. Tip:- Attach a length of
string to your spanner to prevent it
from falling into the socket.
Dig holes x x m ( ft ) at
centres of 5 mm as shown in Fig 2. Concrete the sockets in
approx mm from top of
concrete to ground level (to replace turf . Use a spirit level to make sure
that the sockets are truly vertical and support until set. Replace the turf
