I. General characteristics
The take-off board S14-250 is designed for conducting sports events and training programs of horizontal jumps.
Main features of the take-off board:
construction according to the latest safety recommendations –no metal elements in take-off zone, so
foundation tray with lowered edges covered by synthetic surface and white take-off board fastened from
the bottom side, no screws on top
innovative construction –constituted by elements which are easy to assemble, transport and store
easy operating –fast assembly and disassembly processes, which take 15 minutes approx., can be done by
one person provided that the foundation tray is already embedded in the track,
high durability and quality –stainless steel foundation tray and plastic base board are waterproof and
maintenance free elements, other parts are made of waterproof plywood and impregnated wood, the take-
off board meets the international quality standards,
fast replacement of wearing parts: white take-off board and indicator boards.

III. Assembly and installation
The sequence of the assembly operations is described in detail in this manual. The take-off board set is assembled for
transport and includes all the mentioned elements. Before first use the foundation tray (item 1) is to be embedded in
the track in the prescribed place, so that the take-off line –the edge of the white take-off board (item 3) which is
closer to the landing pit, is in the distance of:
1 - 3 m (for long jump) to the landing pit edge that is closer to the take-off line –the IAAF international
competition rules,
13 m (for men) and 11 m (for women) to the landing pit edge that is closer to the take-off line –the IAAF
international competition rules.
For any other competition, the distance shall be adjusted to competitors` level.
The installation point of the tray (item 1) of the take-off board is presented below.

ATTENSION!
The long side edges (B) of the foundation tray are 13 mm lower, they should be covered by synthetic surface. The
short side edges (A) are to be flash with the top surface of the synthetic surface.
The tray should be positioned in the track and the inside of the tray must be secured with spacing boards (see image
no. 1 and drawing no. 2), so that it does not deform while placing concrete. Deformations can make the plasticine
board (item 4) or training board (item 5) block inside the tray.

D –concrete E –ground F –draining tube
Drawing no. 2. Embedding the foundation tray
Draining tubes ought to be positioned vertically in the spaces of the foundation tray and should go past the concrete
layer. During the embedding process of the tray (item 1), draining tubes can stick out over the foundation tray
bottom. After the concrete setting, the sticking tube ends are to be cut off as close to the tray bottom as possible to
ensure the correct water outflow.

Instruction manual S14-250 ver. 2017 7/11
To install the take-off base board (item 2) with white take-off board (item 3) on top in the embedded tray (item 1) use
a flat wrench no. 24 (item 8).
The installation begins with placing
the plastic grids (item 9) in the embedded
tray (item 1).
Next the plastic base board (item 2)
with white take-off board (item 3) should
be positioned on the plastic grids (item 9),
so that the square heads of the adjusting
bolts point the landing area.
The plastic base board (item 2) with white
take-off board (item 3) is secured inside the
tray (item 1) by means of the adjusting
plastic bolts, use special wrench 24
included in the set (item 8). The bolts
should be turned counterclockwise until
the perceptible resistance occurs.
When the plastic base board (item 2) is
properly mounted,
the indicator board (item 4 or item 5) can
be put into the tray.

IV. Remarks on maintenance and operating
Plasticine strips deform during training sessions and competitions. There are two indicator plasticine boards (item 4),
one training indicator board without plasticine (item 5), one plasticine block and one forming knife (item 7) in the set.
Thanks to the two indicator boards you are able to replace the one with the deformed plasticine strips with the other
one very quickly. It is recommended that one should substitute plasticine board (item 4) with indicator board without
plasticine (item 5) for intensive training sessions. Training indicator board (item 5) is thinner and does not require the
plasticine forming.
Dents and defects in the plasticine layers should be filled up and leveled. First one ought to apply thick layers of
plasticine (item 6) on the damaged areas. Then the layers are to be leveled with the forming knife (item 7), as it is
shown below.
Attention! While storing or using plasticine should be protected against high temperatures (over 40 °C), because
otherwise it can change its shape and dimensions, and in extreme cases it can become a liquid.
To ensure great aesthetics and high comfort for jumpers we use natural raw materials like wood and plywood. The
materials are not so durable as synthetic ones. Thus the wooden take-off board parts (white take-off board and
indicator boards) wear out faster and they need to be replaced. In order to maintain the parts in good condition they
should be removed from the embedded tray after competitions and training sessions and stored in a dry roofed place.
It is recommended that the embedded stainless steel tray (item 1) should be sheltered with the stainless steel cover
(see page 10). Any defects in paint coating revealed during thorough regular inspections of the wooden parts must be
repaired with wood paint or impregnant. Synthetic base board (item 2), stainless steel foundation tray (item 1) and
stainless steel blanking covers (available separately) do not require any additional maintenance actions.
Even though the wooden elements are impregnated and protected with paint, a prolonged contact with water can
devastate or deform them.
The white take-off board (item 3) can be, turned over and screwed again to the plastic base board. That prolongs
significantly the product’s life.
Even the best technical solutions cannot substitute for common sense. The usage of the product must take place
under the supervision of qualified sports arena staff and trainers. The producer shall not be liable for any incidents
caused by the improper take-off board installation, assembly or its misuse.
