the hardware bags and their contents separate. If any parts are missing, call our
Customer Service Department.
B. TesttallBoltsbyinsertingthemintotheirrespectiveholes.Coattight-ttingBolts
with grease using the enclosed Grease Packet. 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.
C. Purchase the cement necessary for the system as noted in the assembly steps.
Also call the appropriate agencies before digging to locate power, gas and/or water
lines.
**A MINIMUM OF SIX ADULTS ARE
REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY**
Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in serious injury or property damage and will void the
warranty.
• The owner must ensure that all players know and follow these rules for safe operation of the system. Proper and complete
assembly, use and supervision is essential for proper operation and to reduce the risk of accident or injury. A high
probability of serious injury exists if this system is not installed, maintained, or operated properly.
• If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution. Follow all warnings and cautions on the ladder carefully.
• Six people are required for assembly.
• Before digging, contact the appropriate agency to locate underground power, gas and/or water lines.
• Do not install the system within 20 feet of overhead power lines.
• Climate, corrosion, or misuse could result in system failure. • If technical assistance is required, contact the manufacturer.
• Minimum operational height is 7’ 6” to the Rim.
• Most injuries are caused by misuse and/or failure to follow instructions. Use caution when using the system.

Safe Handling of a Glass Backboard
1. Inspect your Backboard. Do Not use the backboard if there are any chips, cracks or other defects in
the board. Inspect the board before assembly and call Customer Service if any problems are found.
2. Use extreme caution when handling or working around the backboard.
3. Keep tools, hardware and other hard objects away from the backboard.
4. Never rest the backboard directly on a hard surface (such as concrete or pavement). Always place
cardboard or other cushioning material between the backboard and the ground or other surfaces.
5. Always lay backboard at. Never place it in a position where it might tip over and break.
6. Glass is very heavy. Always use at least two adults when picking up or moving the backboard.
During Assembly
General Handling & Care
At the rst sign of breakage:
1. Keep people away from immediate area of the backboard (especially children).
2. Put on eye protection (small pieces of tempered glass may pop out of the backboard). Wear thick
utility gloves and long sleeves.
3. Lower backboard to its lowest height and cover the backboard completely with a tarp.
4. Do not remove backboard from system without rst lowering the system to the ground. Carefully
read and follow the “Removing Backboard from System” instructions on the next page.
Handling Broken Glass
1. Inspect your Backboard before each use. Do Not use the backboard if there are any chips, cracks or
other defects in the board. If any signs of damage are found, follow the instructions for “Handling Bro-
ken Glass” below.
3. Use extreme caution when handling or working around the backboard.
4. This backboard was designed for use with a basketball. Do not use other types of balls or other objects
with the system. Do not use this system for any other purpose than its designed purpose.

Note: Before digging, call to locate any buried utility lines.
a. Dig a hole 48” deep and 21” square. The edge of the hole should
be ush with the edge of the playing court. If you live in an area
where frost heaves may pose a problem, consult your local building
inspector to determine the appropriate hole depth.
Note: e hole must be at least 48” deep.
b. Bell out the bottom of the hole.
Note: A square hole prevents the rotation of the concrete.
c. We recommend building a form to keep the top of the concrete
straight and square. Place the form so it is level with the playing
surface.
Note: ere must be a 3-foot area behind the pole to allow the
user to adjust the Rim height.
21”
48”
STEP A
a. Thread a 5/8” Hex Nut (TC) all the way onto each J-Bolt (AA).
b. Slide the threaded ends of the J-Bolts through the corner holes in
the J-Bolt Template (AM) and secure them completely with 5/8”
Hex Nuts (TC).
Note: Make sure the curved ends of the J-Bolts are in a rectangular
pattern as shown.
c. Insert the 5/8” x 2” Hex Bolt (TB) through the center hole in the
J-Bolt Template and tighten the Nut Coupler (TA) onto the Bolt as
far as it will go.

You are now nished with the initial assembly steps. Do not proceed
with the assembly until the concrete has fully cured. Curing will
take a minimum of 72 hours (3 days). In humid climates or wet
weather, allow additional time for the concrete to cure. Never
use the system without rst following the cementing instructions.
STEP D
AM
a. If you are using concrete mix, mix the concrete according to the
instructions on the bags. Note that a thicker mix of concrete
will dry stronger.
b. Pour the concrete into the hole, stopping about 18 inches from
the top of the hole.
c. Push the four pieces of 36” Rebar (AB) rmly to the bottom
of the hole. The Rebar should be arranged in a square about
8 inches wide in the center of the hole so each piece will be
next to the J-Bolts when they are placed in the cement.
d. Finish lling the hole to the top with concrete. The top of the
concrete should reach about 1/2” above the playing surface
and slope toward the playing surface to allow water runoff.
STEP C
AB
a. Position the J-Bolt Template (AM) over the hole so it is centered over the
hole.
Note: e front of the Template is the side with the Nut Coupler (TA) and
should be toward the playing surface.
b. Insert the J-Bolts into the concrete and agitate the Template assembly to
eliminate any air bubbles.
c. Push the J-Bolts (AA) into the concrete until the J-Bolt Template (AM) is
resting at against the concrete. Form the concrete into a downward slope
toward the playing surface to allow water runoff.
Note: e lower four 5/8” Hex Nuts (TC) and the Nut Coupler (TA) will
be in the concrete permanently.
d. Clean off any concrete on the J-Bolt Template or the exposed portion of
the J-Bolts.
e. Using a carpenter’s level, make sure the Template is square to the playing
surface.
f. Plate should be level and about 1/2” above the playing surface for water to
drain off of the steel.

Covers (AI) line up with the holes in the
Brackets and the Springs. The notch in the
Covers should t around the brackets on the
pole.
b. Slide a 5/16” x 8” Hex Bolt (MC) through each
of the Covers, Brackets and Springs.
c. Secure each Bolt with a 5/16” Nylock Nut
(MA). Tighten the Nut only until it is ush
with the end of the Bolt.
a. Position the Handle (AP) next to the lower pair of holes in
the Pole. The Handle must be on the side of the Pole with
the Springs.
b. Apply a small amount of Dark Lithium Grease to a 1/2” x
8 9/16” Hex Bolt (HD).
c. Slide the greased Bolt (HD) through the 1/2” O-Ring (AC),
the Handle, a 1/2” x 1/2” Spacer (HF), the Pole, the other
1/2” x 1/2” Spacer (HF), the other side of the Handle and
nal O-Ring (ZC).
d. Secure the Bolt with a 1/2” Nylock Nut (HB). Tighten the

off the ground and align the holes at the top of the
Backboard channels with the holes in the Upper Extension
Arms (AS).
d. For each arm, slide a greased bolt (BC) through the Upper

a. Slide a 5/8” Flat Washer (PB) over each of the J-Bolts (AA) in the J-Bolt Template (AM).
b. Position the Pole so the slots in the Pole plate are lined up with the two J-Bolts closest to the playing surface.
c. Push the Pole plate against the Bolts, making sure the slots are lined up exactly with the Bolts. Using at least six adults, slowly
and carefully lift the Pole up so the Bolts slide through the slots. Line up the holes at the back of the Pole plate with the Bolts at
the back of the J-Bolt Template and stand the system completely vertical.
Note: Avoid scraping the holes in the plate over the Bolts, as this can damage the threads.

leveling the system.
a. Using a carpenter’s level on the face and the side of the Backboard,
adjust the Hex Nuts (TC) between the J-Bolt Template and the Pole
plate until the Pole plate is resting evenly on all four Nuts, with the
Backboard hanging vertical.
Note: Be sure to level the face and side of the Backboard. TC
