GENERAL ADVICE
The life period of apparatus is limited. Also materials wear after a certain period of time. Please check
all parts, which are subject to severe wear and tear, at least once every 3 months. This is mainly
relevant for the security of adjustable parts and mechanisms, e.g. rails, bars, rings. Replace any worn
off, defective and missing parts. If there are any doubts, ask for advice from one of our specialists.
For security reasons, we suggest to perform a maintenance check of all apparatuses and mats by a
specialist, once a year. This check can be part of a yearly or six month safety check.
This apparatus is designed to be used in dry conditions only.

SETUP
The setup and storing of this device may only be undertaken by competent adults who have
read and understood the safety regulations of this manual.
Place (do not drop) both the posts, in the
floor sockets and ensure the net height
adjusters point outwards.
.
Attach the net to the post without the
tensioning system using the chain attached to
the net.
Extend the post to a height of +/- 2.5m
(net height 2.43m). This is done by lifting
the orange handle and sliding it and the
telescopic tube upwards. When the
correct height is reached, close the clamp
handle.
Attach the other side of the net to the
orange Kevlar suspension cable of the
post with the tensioning system.
Make sure the tension mechanism is fully
released by turning the spindle anti-clockwise
to its minimum which ensures there is no
tension on the SRX-system.
Extend the post to a height of +/- 2.5m (net
height 2.43m)
Pre-tension the net using the cable grip. Pull
the orange Kevlar cable and fix the cable
grip behind the pawl on the net tension
system
If the pre-tension is insufficient, remove one or more chain links (only necessary at the first set-up)
Further tension the net by turning the spindle clockwise until the green area is in line with the spindle
housing

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION: when setting up the posts on subsequent occasions, the orange
Kevlar cable might stretch a little which may result in the necessity to remove an additional chain
link
In order to tension the bottom edge of the net, run the cord through the clam-cleat as shown and
wrap it around the post before running it through the pawl. Then pull the end of the cord to tension
and slide the clam-cleat towards the post.
Check the height of the net. At the centre of the court, the net should measure 2.43m and 2.45m
over the side-lines. If necessary, correct the height be lowering or raising the telescopic part of the
post. Attach the remaining tension cords to the posts.
When setting up the posts for the first time, orange oval stickers can be placed on the net height
adjusters at the same height as the volleyball marking on the post to signify the 2.43m net height.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The height indication on the post is NOT the height measurement from the floor.
This height indication in combination with the one on the net-height adjuster are a helpful calibration
tool for future set-ups assuming the posts are used in the same sockets on subsequent uses.
DISMANTLING
Release all tension cords
Release the net by turning the spindle anti-clockwise to its minimum point
Lower both posts to their lowest positions
Detach the net from the suspension cables and the post without the tension system
