Attach Ricochet Padding:
1. Attach three pieces of ricochet padding to the front frame as shown on the front cover.
2. The pad material is slit along its length. Open the padding up and slide it over the pipe
members.

Rev B 9/1/2021 Page 12 of 17
Attach net:
The outer perimeter of the net is to be fully laced to both the front arch and the base of the frame. See
detail on next page showing how to lace if unfamiliar with lacing. The net will be suspended from the
center two arches by about 6”.
1. Cut a couple dozen 18” long cords from the roll of 1/8” black cord.
2. Remove the net and spread it out in front of the cage.
3. Locate the tags that call out the FRONT CORNERS, FRONT TOP and MIDDLE BACK.
4. With the frame in the folded position, take the section labeled FRONT TOP and position it in
the center of the top center crossbar. Tie the net to the crossbar using one of the temporary
cords. Tie the leading edge of the net to either side of the frame every couple of feet using
additional cord pieces. Continue tying off the net, working towards the front.
5. When done verify that the net is truly centered, and the labels LEFT FRONT CORNER and
RIGHT FRONT CORNER are in the proper corners when looking into the cage. If the labels
are reversed it means the net is upside down and the baffle will end up on the wrong side
(outside) of the cage –reverse the net if needed.
6. Shift the net from side to side as needed to center it.

Rev B 9/1/2021 Page 13 of 17
7. Once the net is properly centered, go back to the TOP FRONT center point and lace the
leading edge of net securely to the front arch. Starting from the center, lace to one side and
then the other.
8. After the net is fully laced to the front arch –from the rear of the cage, carefully raise the front
arch section using two struts (two people required, one strut each side).
9. Locate the next reinforced section of the net (about 8’ back from the front edge) and loosely tie
it in place to the 2nd arch using the temporary positioning cords. Again, start at the middle and
work to either side, tying off every couple of feet. The net should hang at least 6” away from
the tubing to lessen any potential ricochet.
10. Raise the 2nd arch using two struts and repeat step 9 for the third arch. When complete, raise
the third arch into position.
11. Starting at the center, tie the net to the top member of the lower frame every couple of feet.
Center the net from side to side as needed.
12. Fully lace the bottom edge of the net to the bottom member of the lower frame.
13. Adjust the length and position of the cords on the 2nd and 3rd arches so the net is properly
positioned. Securely tie each cord. This can be done using a stepladder with the frame in the
raised position or by lowering the frame and adjusting one section at a time.

Attach skirt: (IF PURCHASED)
1. Fully raise the upper portion of the cage.
2. Attach the vinyl skirt to the top and bottom pipes of the lower frame using the zip ties.
3. For best results, start at the center and work out to the front corners.
4. Shown below with extra ricochet padding and vinyl padding covers sold separately.
Typical net tied to frame.
Strut pipe clamps (5) to be store
in between jack bracket (13).

SET-UP AND TRANSPORT
Raising and Lowering the Upper Cage:
NOTE: At least two people are required for the following steps.
Caution: Keep body parts clear of pinch points between pipes and fittings.
1. Two struts are required to raise and support each arch. The raising of each arch must be done
in tandem, with equal force and extension.
2. Attach one end of two struts to the top front frame horizontal pipe, secure in place with a quick
release pin or locking claw. Space these apart so that one of the struts is attached at each end
of the horizontal frame pipe.
3. Push up and forward on each of the struts attached in the previous step; the front section of the
frame should be moving easily and without binding while raising the struts.
Caution: Watch for any binding of the frame and/or netting while doing this, stop immediately
if anything is caught on frame hardware. Take extreme care while doing these steps to prevent
frame and/or net damage.
4. Place the bottom end of the struts onto the next folding frame section and secure them in place
with quick release pins.
5. Take two more struts and place them inboard of the previous two struts on the second frame
folding section of horizontal pipe. Secure using quick release pins.
6. Push up and forward on each of the struts from the previous step; the front and second sections
of the frame should be moving up and forward easily without binding while the raising struts.
7. Repeat for the next frame section.
8. Attach the final two struts and move the entire upper frame into position. The entire front of
the cage may now begin to pull forward due to gravity at this point and will come to rest on the
ground.
9. Place the bottom clamp onto the top pipe of the lower frame and secure in place with quick
release pins. Some effort may be required to seat these last two fittings in place, depending on
net tension and the ground formation in your assembly working area.
10. To disassemble or ‘fold’ unit, reverse above steps. Use caution when lowering the frame
sections to avoid injury.
After each use, inspect all fittings, hardware, pipes, and net for integrity and tightness. Any damage or
loose hardware may result in unsatisfactory performance or failure. Contact the factory or dealer for
replacement parts.

Rev B 9/1/2021 Page 16 of 17
TRANSPORTING CAGE:
The cage can be transported by going forward or backward. Transporting the cage should be done
with 2 or 3 people.
Note: Cage should only be transported in the fully folded position. Never move the cage when
fully raised.
1. To transport the cage, fully lower the upper frame, gather the net, and secure it to the rear
frame using the adjustable 6-foot strap (RP5066).
2. Raise the rear of the cage by lowering the rear wheel lifting handle.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Conduct a thorough inspection of the cage annually looking for loose bolts and nuts. Due to
normal vibration during play, fasteners may work themselves loose. Tighten adequately on a regular
basis to prevent injury.
Apply a small amount of lithium grease to any moving parts, especially axles and wheels. If
wheels have zirk fittings, you may inject grease into the wheel bearings using a commercially
available grease gun.
Inspect the net and padding for wear; contact the factory to arrange for replacements or
servicing.
Paint retouching –any commercially available rust-preventive paint is acceptable for touching
up chipped paint and areas of rust. Follow the paint manufacturer’s suggestions for proper application
of paint & primer. (All steel parts provided are either galvanized and/or powder coated for extra
protection but priming and painting should be adequate for proper maintenance of equipment after it
leaves the factory.)
Storage: Unit can be stored outside, but protection from the elements is recommended. The
batting cage is designed with climatized and weather resistant materials but will age over time. Aging
is accelerated if exposed to the weather, especially in Northern regions where freezing is expected
during winter months. If possible, as part of seasonal storage, store indoors (net can be removed if
desired to extend the life of this item; see catalog or call number listed above if replacement net is
needed).
