IMPORTANT NOTES
1. Only qualified and properly trained installers should attempt installation. Contact Jaypro to help locate a
qualified installer if you cannot locate one.
2. For retrofit installations where the existing ceiling suspended or wall mounted backstop structure is being
reused, Jaypro Sports is not responsible for the structural integrity of the unit. The existing structure must be
capable of supporting the new height adjuster and board. A qualified installer should inspect the structure,
especially for existing fiberglass boards which weight much less than a steel height adjuster with glass board.
Consult an Architect or Structural Engineer if necessary.
3. FOR CEILING SUSPENDED / SINGLE DROP BACKSTOPS: The height adjuster is supplied with all the necessary
hardware and mounts to attach to a 6-5/8" OD mast. For 6" OD masts (or any other size), contact Jaypro Sports
to determine if additional components will be required. The height adjuster MUST be installed with the hardware
supplied with the height adjuster. Substitutions or deviations are not allowed without permission from Jaypro
Sports.
4. After installation of the height adjusters, a safety bolts MUST be installed under the lowest u-bolt on the mast
to ensure the board cannot loosen and slide off the mast. Failure to install the safety bolt may result in damage,
injury, or death. Safety bolts are supplied with the backstops, not the height adjuster. Safety bolts can be
purchased from Jaypro or can be sourced locally. EVERY BACKSTOP MUST HAVE THE SAFETY BOLT INSTALLED!
5. Over the course of time, bolted connections may loosen as a result of building vibrations or vibrations caused
during play. Periodic inspection and rework is strongly advised to tighten hardware and return the equipment to
the original level of safety.
6. Follow all warning signs and labels on equipment.
7. Inspect all equipment before each use.
8. Should equipment become damaged, immediately stop using the system and tape off the area around the
equipment. Do not continue using the equipment until a qualified service technician has inspected the
equipment and certified the system is safe to resume use.
9. Use of the equipment other than intended,
may be hazardous or cause damage to
the equipment. Alterations or modifications
of this equipment may be hazardous and
result in injury. For repair or replacement,
contact your dealer or Jaypro Sports.
10. Preventive maintenance should be
performed annually to ensure years of
safe, trouble-free use. This work must be
completed by a qualified installer or
technician. If one is not available to
you, Jaypro's own field service team
can be hired to do the work. Refer to
the maintenance and inspection portion
of this manual for further information.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Jaypro Sports Steel Manual Height Adjuster (SMHA) includes slide steel frames driven by a 3/4" Acme
thread rod. Some assembly is required for installation. The saddle brackets must be bolted to the frame
member before the unit is attached backstop masts. The upper board mount must also be bolted to
the height adjuster frame. NOTE: All hardware supplied with the height adjuster is metric.
The Acme thread rod is driven manually by the eyeloop located at the bottom of the drive rod. Other
methods of operation include a drill drive adapter that can help the operator raise and lower the unit
quicker. Only use the drill specified and supplied by Jaypro. Using a drill that has a higher torque rating
than the one supplied by Jaypro will result in damage to the unit; possibly shearing off the eyeloop on
the bottom of the drive rod. If equipped with the drill adapter kit, Jaypro still recommends periodically
using the hand crank to ensure the unit has smooth operation. If the height adjuster is hard to manually
operate or binds at any moment, inspect the unit and lubricate as necessary.
Only trained personnel should attempt to install this equipment. Installation requires heavy lifting and
hoist of equipment. Ensure all hardware is properly tightened and secure.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE:
The following is the recommended procedure for
installing the height adjuster assembly. Even if you
choose to install the height adjuster a different way, it is
recommended you fully read and understand the
recommended method. As a complete assembly, the
glass board, rim, edge padding, and height adjuster
weigh in excess of 350 lbs. Use caution during
installation as damage or injury may occur if not done
properly.
STEP 1: Install the nylon bolts into the height adjuster
frame assembly. The purpose of these bolts is to align
the inner and outer frame members for smooth
operation. Do not over-tighten. After the height
adjuster is installed, these bolts will need to be checked
and adjusted as necessary.
STEP 2: Install both saddle brackets to the frame
assembly. Torque the hardware to 44 ft-lbs.
STEP 3: Install the top board mount to the top of the
height adjuster. Torque the hardware to 44 ft-lbs. Pay
close attention to the orientation of the upper board
mount. The bottom flange of the board mount rests on
top of the height adjuster, pointing towards the glass
board.

STEP 6: Hoist the board and height adjuster up to the mast and secure with the supplied M10 u-bolts and nuts. Follow
the following procedure to properly torque the u-bolts to 64 ft-lbs. You will notice that adjusting one nut of the u-bolt
will change the torque rating of the other. You must alternate legs back and forth multiple times to produce the
proper torque requirements.
HAND TIGHTEN ONLY! DO NOT USE IMPACT WRENCH!
6.1 - Finger tighten both nuts, ensuring equal threads are exposed on both legs.
6.2 - Tighten each nut to approximately 1/3 of the recommended torque.
6.3 - Repeat, alternating from one nut to the next, gradually torque
each nut until the recommended final torque is attained.

INSTALL RIM & EDGE PADDING
(IF EQUIPPED). FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
PROVIDED WITH EACH COMPONENT.
STEP 7: Drill and install the mast safety bolt. The purpose of this
bolt is to prevent the board and height adjuster from sliding off
the mast if the u-bolts were ever to loosen. Failure to install the
safety bolt may result in damage, injury, and/or death.
STEP 8: Install rim and edge padding if equipped.
STEP 9: To maximize the stability of the unit, the four nylon bolts
should be adjusted as needed. Use caution when tightening and
be sure not to over-tighten these bolts or the height adjuster may
incur undue stain.
STEP 10: Operate and test the height adjuster multiple times to
ensure smooth operation using the hand crank supplied. Test to
ensure the height adjuster achieves the 8' AFF and 10' AFF
elevation as intended. Ensure the height adjuster is properly
lubricated on the ACME rod and slide tubes.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE:
Inspect the height adjuster for excessive wear or misalignment.
Inspect all hardware for looseness. Lubricate the 3/4" ACME
thread rod with Never-Seez Black Moly Lubricant. Lubricate the
sliding outer frames with an aerosol dry film lubricant available at
your local hardware store. Lubrication should be done at least
once a year and more frequently at heavy use facilities (such as
pay-to-play facilities). For general public school use, annual
maintenance and inspection is sufficient.
Keep a working log of all the service and inspections done to
your equipment. Proof of service and inspection will be required
for any equipment being replaced or repaired under warranty.
