HAMMER FULLY DOWN
INTO THE GROUND
If the ground is really hard we recommend
adding water to the ground to soften.
Also use a wooden block or dowling to help insert your
anchors into the turf. ALWAYS Use a rubber mallet not a metal hammer.
NET TIES : Place the small stanchion net ties on the net support stanchions.
This will help extend the life of your net and keep the frame tightly fitted
together. Apply the larger ties to the ground frame and the posts. We
recommend placing the net ties no more than 340mm apart. The net ties
supplied are designed to permanently fix the net to the goal frame. If you
require to take nets on and off, other net fixings can be used.
NOTE: Goal must be anchored otherwise breakages may occur. In extreme
conditions it is advised to store away. The best way to store your goal is to
remove crossbar and rear back bar section leaving the net attached to the side
frames. If you do this regularly then it is advisable to buy optional removable net
ties. The goals are ideal when left with nets attached, for example in a garden.
You must anchor your goals.
At the end of the season nets can be tied into a bundle and placed into a pillow
case (not to damage washing machine) and washed at 40 C0 with normal
washing powder. The ground frame can be washed with hot soapy water. Any
scuff marks on posts can be rubbed off with a light abrasive scouring pad.
WARNING: Check the position of any underground services before using the
ground anchors and pegs. We take no responsibility for any damage or injury
caused in this manner.
NEVER use the goals without the ground anchor system. In severe weather or
windy conditions it is advisable to take your goal down as damage is not
covered by the guarantee in such circumstances.
If you find the nets are worn along the floor it may be rodents, by spreading
pepper along the base frame rodents will be deterred.
It is advisable in any contact sport to take out the relevant insurance's to cover
against injury both from taking part, equipment and other unforeseeable
circumstances. Crossbars will not be replaced within the guarantee period if
broken by swinging or climbing or any other misuse.
DO NOT try to glue any damaged fixings. Plastic materials in this product vary
and this may cause the plastic to break. Always replace any damaged
components.
NOTE : All plastic extrusions vary and therefore some tubes may be looser or
tighter to connector fittings. If you want to increase the diameter of the fitting just
wrap masking tape around the part that fits into the tube, twist as you insert the
fitting and it will grab to the tube tight. You can make tighter fits by adding more
tape.
We advise adult supervision during assembly and use. Observe and follow
warning labels attached to goal. Do not use any components, nets or parts if
they are damaged or broken. Spare parts and replacement nets are readily
available. If others are to install your goal you should show them how to erect
and dismantle the goal and hand them a copy of the fitting instruction. If you
lose your instructions copies can be attained from our company website. To
avoid damage when dismantling the goal follow these guidelines: it is advisable
in extreme windy conditions to dismantle the goal and store away. Do not drop
any heavy objects on ends of tubes. When dismantling the goal ensure that all
fittings are packed away and that non are left on the playing surface. Warning
goals must never be left up or used unless they are properly fitted with ground
anchors with net attached and securely pegged down.
HARD surfaces: to prevent damage to goal or it's components, loosen soil with
a steel pole and moisten with some water before inserting the ground anchors
and pegs. Do not use the goal in sub zero temperatures. warning labels should
be replaced when worn and we recommend replacing them every two years -
spare labels available. Damaged components requested under guarantee must
be returned for inspection. Failure to follow the warnings, fitting instructions
contained in this document, may invalidate your guarantee. The company , its
agents and representatives do not accept any product liability if used outside
the EU. Use of the product in other countries outside the EU including the USA
is not covered and appropriate insurance should be taken out by the user to
cover for any eventuality. We reserve the rights to amend the specifications of
our soccer products in the interest of continued development. Your product
therefore may differ slightly to those illustrated. Not suitable for children under
36 months until assembled due to small parts..
PERMANENT FIXING
OPTIONAL NET HOOKS
On this Budget Footie Goal the locking
buttons are not included except for the
net support stanchions. The corners of
the goals can be made to be a tight fit by
wrapping masking tape (not included)
around the connectors that push into the
posts. The more you apply the tighter the
fit. Wrap around the twist the corner fit-
ting onto the corner bracket. We recom-
mend this if you are moving the goal
around and do not take the goal down
after each game.
