1- Using either Bracket Back (A) place the Threaded
Wedge (J) on the closed side of the trapezoid and
the Unthreaded Wedge (K) on the open side. Slide
a Washer (L) over the Long Allen Screw (M) and
insert from the open side through both wedges and
the trapezoid. Keep the screw loose so the wedges
sit on the low part of the trapezoid.
2- Place the Bracket Face (B) on the corresponding
Bracket Back. Once the holes on the Bracket Face
and Bracket Back are aligned, insert the 3 Bracket
Screws (N) from the front of the bracket. From
the back of the bracket slide a washer and Knob (O)
onto the Bracket Screw then lightly tighten with the
Knob. Repeat for all 3. Do not tighten the Bracket
Screws at this time.
3- Insert the Arm (C) into the assembled Bracket. Push
the short end of the Arm into the molded holes
in the Arm Bracket. Make sure the arm is pushed
completely in, this will be a snug fit.
4- Repeat on the opposite side.
1- To adjust the angle of the assembled
arms, grab the net as high as you can
reach and move the net so the arms
create 45˚ angles as pictured.
2- Position each base just outside of the
free throw lane lines. The bases need
to be far enough away from each other
that there is some tension in the net so
the ball returns easily to the shooter.
NOTE: The bases must be pointed back toward the rim for optimal
functionality, see the picture.
If the height of your rim is less than 10 feet, you may have to widen the bases.
1- Adjust the angle of the arms as pictured.
2- Make sure he bases are far enough
away from each other that there is some
tension in the net so the ball returns easily
to the shooter.
3- Flip the set-up if you are shooting from
the left side.
1- Adjust the angle of the arms as pictured.
2- Position each base on either side of the
backboard on the baseline.
CAUTION: Do not use if you are shooting
lay-ups or playing a game as
you could become entangled
in the net.
When your Rapid Fire II is not in use, pull the arms
back so they are pointing away from the hoop.
Slide the bases away, so that the net is clear of the
of the playing area.
1- Adjust the angle of the arms as
pictured. Make sure that you do not
over angle the arm closest to the rim.
If you get too close to the rim, the net
will interfere with the basket.
2- Position each base as pictured.
3- Flip the set-up if you are shooting from
the right baseline.
1- Slide the Bottom Base Pole (G) into the Base (F) and
secure with the spring clip.
2- Fill the Weight Bag (I) with sand. Once filled, slide
the webbing loop on the back of the Sandbag over
the Bottom Base Pole.
3- Connect the Top Base Pole (H) to the Bottom Base
Pole using the spring clip.
4- Insert the Eye Bolt (P) into the top hole on the Top
Base Pole. Make sure the eyelet is positioned on the
opposite side of the Sandbag. Secure with the
Nut (Q) provided.
5- Attach the net to the pole with the carabiner.
6- Repeat on the opposite side.
ˆIWARNING: The Rapid Fire II should never be
used without a fully filled Sandbag on the base.
Net is to be used only in the manner described
above. Improper use of the net may result in injury.
1- Move the arms parallel to the backboard so you can
easily attach the Net (E).
2- Using the side of the net with the velcro straps. Start
from either right or left side. Attach the inside velcro
strap to the Arm within the space provided in the
Bracket.
3- Attach the following velcro straps to the yellow arm
going parallel to the backboard.
Repeat on the opposite side. Make sure the net runs
behind the backboard before attaching to the other
arm.
If the hoop was lowered to the ground bring upright
at this time.
NOTE: If the net is sagging in the middle creating
an opening, pull tight with the cinch lock
provide.
4- Repeat on the opposite side.
1- Lower the backboard to the ground or a safe height
to attach the Rapid Fire II arms. For permanent, non-
height-adjusting backboards, you will need a ladder
to reach the top corners.
NOTE: We recommended using the Rapid Fire
II with an adjustable-height backboard.
Make sure you follow the directions on the
basketball system or backboard accordingly
when lowering the backboard to attach the
Rapid Fire II.
2- Once the system is lowered, make sure the screws
are loose on the Bracket. Slide the Bracket over the
corresponding top corner of the backboard with the
flat portion of the Bracket in front and tightening
knobs on the back.
ICAUTION: The Rapid Fire II will only work on a
metal frame backboard. If you have a
molded backboard the Rapid Fire II
will not work correctly.
3- Once the Bracket is positioned correctly over
the corresponding top corner, push the screw
completely through so that the screw head sits flush
with the Face of the Bracket. Hold the screw in that
position and tighten using the Knobs on the back.
Repeat for all 3 screws.
4- Next use the Allen Wrench (R) provided to tighten
the securing wedges to the metal frame.
5- Attach the Extension Arm (D) to the Arm. Repeat on
the opposite side.
