Problem / Possible Cause
ASSEMBLY TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Identify your pole sections:
TOP: Crimped end with six holes down the
middle.
MIDDLE: Warning Sticker.
BOTTOM: A slot at the top of the pole, two
holes near the middle of the pole and four
holes at the bottom.
2. Slide the Top Pole inside the bottom of
the Middle Pole, crimped end rst, until
it extends out of the top of the Middle
Pole. There should be no hardware or parts
attached to either pole at this point.
2. My Top Pole will not slide through my
Middle Pole:
The pole sections are not completely round.
Align the holes in the side of the Top Pole with
the holes in the Middle Pole section before
sliding it through.
1. My Top and Middle Poles will not
assemble:
It is easy to confuse the pole sections. Refer
to the next column for hints on how to tell
them apart.
3. How do I fasten my poles together?
The Top and Middle Pole sections are
fastened together with a Carriage Bolt
through both poles. The Bottom and Middle
Pole sections are held together with a friction
weld and also with a pole joint Screw.
Follow the instructions for pole assembly
carefully. When the poles are seated together,
a friction weld is created between the Bottom
and Middle Pole sections. A pole joint Screw
will also be attached.
4. My Pole Braces will not attach:
The Pole Braces are designed to t snugly
to the Base and the Bottom Pole section for
stability.
The Pole Braces should be attached to the
Base rst, but the hardware should only be
nger tight at this point. Use gentle pressure
on the Pole Braces to align them with the holes
in the Bottom Pole. Then completely tighten
all Base hardware before proceeding.
5. How d o I b e n d my Backboar d
Brackets?
Although the Backboard Brackets are made
of steel, they are designed to bend with only
a small amount of force.
The Backboard Brackets should be fastened
nger tight to the Rim holes in the Backboard.
Grasp the tops of the Backboard Brackets and
bend them away from each other with steady
force.
