1. Operating and assembly instructions
The base posts are set into measured foundations. Measure the foundation in
compliance with the loads and measures as shown in illustration 2. Stable ground is
required for laying the foundations.
The insertion depth into the ground sockets is 35 cm. The foundations for the sockets
should be approx. 80x80x80 cm in undisturbed ground, or approx. 100x100x100 cm
in backfilled, light ground.
Note:
The volleyball posts can also be used for ground sockets (prod. code: 151 5608-2).
Once the base posts are standing securely, push the upper volleyball posts onto the
base posts. You can now lock the posts at the desired height using the grub screws.
When the desired height is set, you can attach the net to the existing eyelets.

Put the net’s tensioning cord onto the post and then feed it into the pulley. Attach the
tensioning cord to the snap hook and attach the snap hook to the turnbuckle. Use the
shackles to connect the turnbuckle to the chain and the second snap hook. Attach
this snap hook to the hole in the lower mount which is closer to the post (see ill. 3).
By turning the turnbuckle you can now tension the net to the desired level.
After that, hook the cover to the upper mount and slot the lower opening over the
lower mount.
You can now secure the cover using the safety lock (see ill. 4).

2. Maintenance / care and safety advice
When using ground sockets, check them regularly for deposits and deformation.
Ensure that the volleyball system is only subjected to intended loads. Hanging from
the system overloads the posts and net cords and leads to the destruction of the
system.
Check that the upper volleyball posts sit tight and re-tighten the grub screws if
necessary.
