Day 1
ANCHOR SYSTEM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1) Installation Location
Choose the proper location to dig for the con-
crete footing. Use the distance chart on the
pervious page to help you make your decision.
When choosing the exact position to dig, make
sure to maximize the amount of playing surface
while minimizing possible driveway obstruction.
Rim Height Distance from the face of the backboard to the front of
the Vertical Post (A)
6’ 74”
8’ 70”
10’ 60”
2) Digging Pier Hole
Dig hole 48" deep and 24" square. Be sure to bell out
the bottom of the hole 28” to give added stability to
the footing.
NOTE: If you live in an area where
the frost line is below 48" it is advis-
able to dig to normal frost line.

Digging Concrete Anchor Hole

3) Anchor Assembly
Twist (6) nuts (L) to the bottom of threads on
(6) J-bolts (K). Place these J-bolts through the
holes on the black anchor plate (N) and install
(6) nuts (L) and tighten. The bottom of the J-
bolts should be positioned as shown.
4) Pouring Concrete and Setting Pier Kit
For this step you will need: level, broomstick and tape measure. The 48" x 24" anchor
footing will require a little over a 1/2 yard of 3000 psi concrete (20-25 80 pound sacks
of premix concrete). More will be needed if you dig a larger hole.
NOTE: Make certain that you have enough concrete to
finish the job. Allowing a portion to dry while you purchase
more concrete will weaken the footing.
Mix (20-25) 80 lbs. bags of concrete in wheel
barrow or cement mixer and pour in pre-dug
hole about half full. Agitate concrete with
shovel or broomstick to ensure proper fill.
Place (6) Pieces of rebar (M) (included) in the
middle of the hole about 6 inches apart to
create a rectangle in the middle of the hole.
All 6 pieces of rebar need to overlap the J-
bolts at least 6 inches.
NOTE: Mix concrete to
manufacture specifications.
NOTE: There will be (12) flat washers (Z),
(6) lock washers (O), and (6) hex nuts (BB)
left over after the Anchor Assembly. These
will be used on the Assembly Day. You can
set them to the side for now. Assembling Anchor

Pour the remaining concrete into the hole until completely full and coming out of the
top. Using a trowel, smooth the concrete to your preferred liking.
Place the assembled anchor system in hole to the point where the bottom of the black
anchor plate (N) is flush with the top of the finished concrete and (3) 18mm J-Bolts (K)
are on the right and (3) 18mm J-Bolts (K) are on the left.
NOTE: The (6) 18mm J-Bolt Hex Nuts (L)
on the bottom of the Anchor Footing Tem-
plate (N) will be sacrificed into the concrete.
NOTE: The top of the concrete needs to be level with
or higher than your playing area to ensure you sys-
tem will adjust to 10ft regulation height.

13
Use the level to ensure that the pier anchor template (L) it is level in all directions.
Additionally, the center line of the 18mm Anchor J-Bolts (K) must be parallel with the
edge of the playing surface.
Once completely smooth let the concrete cure. This can take up to a week. Consult
the instructions on the concrete bag for curing times and directions.

and then back off a 1/4 turn to al-
low the joint to pivot when adjust-
ing the system up and down.
7) Actuator Assembly

8) Spring Assist Assembly
Attach both Spring-Assist Cartridges (E) to
the Main Extension Arm (B) using an
20mm X 42cm Hex Bolt (JJ) and 20mm
Lock Nut (KK). In order to attach both
Spring-Assist Cartridges (E) at the bottom,
lower the open end of each Spring-Assist
Cartridge (E) down over the top of each
welded tab as shown in the diagram. Use
the 16mm X 19cm Hex Bolt (P) and 16mm
Lock Nut (J) to attach them to the welded
tabs. You may need to turn or rotate the
Spring-Assist Cartridges (E) to line up
holes. The Rim Height Indicator (G) should
hang freely along the outside of one of the
Spring-Assist Cartridges (E). Next, remove
and discard the plastic spring assist spacer
from Spring-Assist Cartridge (E).
Lower the system to relieve the pressure
on your blue spring assist spacer and then
remove it.
9) Upper Linkage Assembly
Attach Parallel Linkages (C) to Vertical Post (A)
with a 18mm X 36cm Hex Bolt (Q) and a 18mm
Lock Nut (BB).
NOTE: Tighten the lock nut down
and then back off a 1/4 turn to al-
low the joint to pivot when adjust-
ing the system up and down.
NOTE: Tighten the lock nuts down and then
back off a 1/4 turn to allow the joint to pivot
when adjusting the system up and down.
NOTE: It does not matter which end of the par-
allel link you attach to the vertical post.

down and then back off a 1/4 turn
to allow the joint to pivot when ad-
justing the system up and down.
11) Level Backboard
Check face of backboard to see if it is level forward and back. If it is not level, correct
it by adjusting the 18mm J-Bolt Hex Nuts (L) located underneath the Vertical Post
(A) flanged base plate. (Main Pole may not be level after leveling the Backboard)
