BEFORE BEGINNING ASSEMBLY
A. Identify and inventory all parts using the checklist boxes on the Parts List. Keep the
hardware bags and their contents separate. If any parts are missing, call our Customer
Service Department.
B. Test fit all Bolts by inserting them into their respective holes. If necessary, carefully
scrape away any excess powder coating buildup from inside the holes. Do not scrape
away all of the powder coating. Bare metal may rust. You may need to pound some
Bolts into place with a hammer or mallet.

Proper and complete assembly, use and supervision are essential for proper orientation and to reduce the risk
of accident or injury. A high probability of serious injury exists if this system is not installed, maintained, and
operated properly.

For a nonpermanent installation of your basketball system, a Ground Sleeve provides an alternative to
cementing the pole into the ground. See Page 14 for more information.
24”
18”
14.5”
BP
11.1 Dig a round hole 24” deep and
18” in diameter. The edge of the hole
should be flush with the edge of the playing
surface.
1.2 Make a mark 14.5” up from
the dimpled end of the Bottom Pole
(BP) (do not scratch the powder
coating).
22.1 Mix 5 1/2 bags of concrete, following the directions on the concrete bags.
Keep in mind that a thicker mix of concrete will dry stronger.
2.2 Fill the hole to the top with concrete.
2.3 Insert the dimpled end of the Bottom Pole into
the cement up to the 14.5” mark and 4” away
from the playing surface.
Warning: If the pole is buried too deep or too shallow, the
Rim will not be at the correct height.
3
Note: Form the cement into a downward slope away from
the pole to allow water runoff. Failure to do so may result in
premature rusting of the pole.
Important: Save a 1/2 bag of concrete mix to use later in the assembly.
3.1 The slots in the Bottom Pole must be parallel
to the playing surface. If necessary, insert a straight
object (a ruler, wire, etc.) through the slots in the Bottom
Pole. Rotate the pole until the straight object is parallel to
the playing surface.
44.1 Place the 1/2” x 3’ rebar (not included) inside the Bottom Pole (BP).
4.2 Check the pole several times within the first hour to
make sure that all sides are vertical and that the pole does
not sink into the concrete. The 14.5” mark must remain
level with the playing surface.
Rebar
Important: Allow 1-4 hours for the concrete to set.
Important: Do not continue until the concrete has set for 1-4 hours.
55.1 Remove the straight object from the top of the pole.
5.2 Mix the remaining 1/2 bag of concrete and pour the concrete into
the Bottom Pole until it is just below the slots in the top of the pole.
Important: Do not overfill the pole, or you may not be able to assemble the rest
of the pole sections.
5.3 Tamp the concrete down in the Bottom Pole with a broom handle
to remove any air pockets.
5.4 Clean all excess concrete off the outside surface of the pole.
STOP!
The concrete must cure for at least 72 hours (3 days) before installing the rest of the
system. In humid climates or wet weather, allow additional time for the concrete to
cure. Do not proceed until the curing process is complete.

WARNING
The poles must be seated together!! Even if the poles cover the slots
before seating, you must strike them on the wood five to six times!! Failure
to seat the poles correctly could allow the poles to separate during use,
which could lead to serious personal injuries or property damage as
listed on Page One.

This step cannot be reversed.
MP
Warning: If the Top and Middle Poles do not completely cover
the slots on the Middle and Bottom Poles after seating, DO NOT
COMPLETE ASSEMBLY. Call our Customer Service Department.
9.1 Strike each end of the Pole firmly 5 to 6 times on a piece of
scrap wood or cardboard.
Warning: Do not hit your feet with the pole sections, as
serious injury could occur.
