1. Remove the VB30 Standards (A)
from the shipping box.
2. Set VB30 Standards (A) into existing
floor sockets or VB23 Floor Plates
and Sockets (C).
NOTE:
The Bison Centerline systems have
been designed to “set and play”, after
initial set-up all net height guess work is
eliminated. The outer pole has an
adjustable bottom foot factory pre-set
for 10” floor sockets. Please read and
follow the instructions carefully to make
fine tuning adjustments if needed.
 Inspect all contents prior to installation. Report any missing parts to dealer immediately.

3. Lay the VB1250K Net (F) out
finding the end with the factory
installed rope ratchet device on the
bottom rope. Install the opposite end
of the net to the non-winch standard
by running the black top rope over
the rope guide and attaching the
loop to the Attachment Hook (I).
Attach the other end of the net top
rope to the winch standard by
running the black top rope over the
rope guide and connect it to the 2”
winch strap Carabiner (K).
See Figures 2, 3 and 4.
4. Attach both ends of the net bottom
rope to the Nylon Net Collars (J)
with Carabiners (K). See Figure 4.
5. Turn the winch handle to tighten the
top rope of the system to eliminate
the slack in the rope. Center the net
between the two VB30 Standards
(A). Finish tightening the top rope
using the winch and pull the loose
end of the bottom rope through the
bottom rope ratchet to tighten the
bottom rope. See Figure 4.
6. Install the Rope Ratchets (H) by
running the rope through the small
holes in the sides of the net and
around the pole. Tighten all four
devices evenly to achieve desired
net tension and maintain proper net
placement between the VB30
Standards (A). See Figure 4.
7. Measure from the top center of
VB1250K Net (F) to the floor.
Women’s official height is 7’ 4 1/8”.
If this measurement is above or
below the official height write it
down and proceed to instruction #8.
8. Remove VB1250K Net (F) from
VB30 Standards (A).

9. Remove VB30 Standards (A) from floor sockets and lay on floor. Measure the distance from the bottom of
the pole to the bottom of the adjustable foot pad, write it down. Loosen set screw in the collar of the bottom
adjustable foot with the 1/8” Allen Wrench (D). Turning the adjustable foot clockwise will lower net height,
counter-clockwise will raise net height. Each revolution of the adjustable foot will raise or lower the VB30
Standard (A) by approximately 3/16”. Make sure you use full revolutions. The set screw must rest on the
machined flat on the adjustable foot to eliminate damage. Check your math to ensure you have moved the
adjustable foot in the correct direction, tighten the set screw. See Figure 2.
10. Repeat instructions #1-#7. If your adjustments were correct you’re ready to “set and play”. Repeat
instructions #8-#10 if further adjustment is needed. Once the pole length is initially adjusted to match the
floor sockets no future adjustment should be necessary.
11. You can make some slight modifications to fine tune the net height by raising and lowering the Nylon Net
Collars (J) by tightening/loosening the winch, and by adjusting the tension on the side Rope Ratchets (H) if
necessary.
NOTE:
Excessive tightening of top rope is not necessary. Crank the winch until poles start to flex. Further tensioning
results in lowering of the top rope. Achieve proper height using the adjustable foot for adjustments and to
achieve proper net tensioning use the Rope Ratchets (H).

duct tape can be wrapped around the outside of the sleeve at the top and the bottom until sleeve is snug
inside the existing floor sockets.
