Cage can be transported by going forward or backward. Transporting the cage should be done
with two (2) or three (3) people.
Note: Cage should only be transported in the fully folded position. Never move cage when fully
raised.
1. To transport the cage fully lower the upper frame. Gather the net and baffle and secure it to the
rear frame using the adjustable 6 foot strap (RP5066).
2. Lift the rear of the cage by lowering or raising the handle. With one operator steering and
keeping the rear frame raised, two others are required to push against the cage in the two
corners.
To transport the cage sideways, rotate side wheels by releasing the retaining pins and rotating the
wheels 90 degrees. Reinsert retaining pins.

EACH ‘V’ SHAPED LOWER FRAME (#8) USING 16 EACH 2-3/4” AL-
LEN HEAD BOLTS IN HARDWARE BAG (PART D) AND 16 EACH
11/16” HEX HEAD LOCK NUTS ALONG WITH 16 EACH WASHER

STEP 3 (CONTINUED)
• Attach each rear section of ‘V’ shape lower frame (#8) to each side of back frame assembly using (2)
each (#6) curved rib frame piece on each side. (Back frame assembly is pre-welded without dolly
assembly attached).
Use 2” length full thread Allen head bolts from hardware bag (Part F) and Lock washer inserts (also
in Part F bag). Allen wrench tool is provided if needed. Use 10” pointed alignment rod if needed to
help align hole with lock washer. Be sure all bolts are secured tight.
STEP 4
WHEEL ASSEMBLY
1. Locate (2) turf tires and mounting plate shown in illustration above. Hardware for the wheel as-
sembly is located in bag ‘Part I’. Wheel shafts are located in ’Part J’.
2. Attach mounting plate to turf tire using tire shaft and washers as shown in pictures above. Be
sure to use washer and tube spacer on each side of wheel shaft to allow wheel shaft to spin freely.
(Figures 2,3) Heavy duty cotter pins will be use to hold wheel shaft in place. Once tire is secured to
mounting plate, attach mounting plate to frame protector assembly by pushing the plate wheel
shaft into wheel protector opening and securing with adjustable lock pin shown in Figure 1.

STEP 5
DOLLEY ASSEMBLY
1. Attach dolly assembly mounting plates as shown in pictures above. Be sure black mount-
ing shaft is attached to plate as shown using proper ring spacer between tire mounting
plate and shaft.
2. Using (2) Elbow brackets, dolly handle, wheel shaft, and hardware in bag (Part E). Begin
assembly as shown in pictures above. Be sure that the heads of the bolts are on the inside of
the mounting plate facing the tires and the nuts are on the outside of the mounting plates.
Be sure to use washers and wheel shaft to mount tire same as in Step 4. Use heavy duty cot-
ter pins to secure wheel shaft in place. The mounting plate will be inserted to upper shaft of
mounting plate. It may take 2 persons to lift back frame assembly to properly mount dolly
assembly inside the upper wheel shaft. The weight of the cage keeps the dolly assembly in
place.
STEP 6
ATTACHING FRONT CORNER FRAME
1. Locate corner frames shown above. Mount each side to mounting bracket on front of ‘V’
shaped lower frame assembly. Also secure V frame to already welded front bracket as well.
Use 3.5”L bolts and nuts and washers provided in hardware bag (Part G).

STEP 7
ATTACHING ANGLE BRACKETS
1. Using same bolts, nuts, and washers from Step 6 above, attach angle bracket to ‘V’ shape
lower frame. The bracket will attach midway up the frame on holes provided.
NOTE: LOOSELY attach bracket to lower frame assembly only to allow openings to attach rib
frame assemblies in Step 8.
STEP 8
UPPER RIB FRAME ASSEMBLY
FIGURE 1 FIGURE 2
1. Lay out all rib curved rib frames and all straight pipes to begin upper rib frame assembly.
2. Begin by attaching curved rib frame to each side of a 78” straight pipe securing with 2” full
thread allen head bolts and lock washer inserts.

888-313-1303
www.trigonsports.com 11
3. The curved rib frame that is attached in the front of the cage will also need a 64” straight
pipe on each side to make up for height and attached to front reinforced corner frame.
4. Once each rib section is assembled begin attaching to angle brackets from Step 7. And
secured tightly with same bolts used in Step 7. It will require two persons to lift section and
add in place.
**At this point please go back to all nuts and bolts and be sure all are properly tightened.
Take care not to over tighten bolts or nuts.
5. At this point the cage will be in the dropped down form.
STEP 8 (CONTINUED)
STEP 9
ATTACHING VINYL SKIRT & THUD PAD
1. Lay out the vinyl skirt to get an idea of the layout. The ‘ProCage™’ logo will face the front
and should be upright. This will help with proper alignment. Use zip ties to mock up layout
pattern by using zip ties in a few areas to make easier for using lacing twine to attach. You
may also use only zip ties if you choose. Be sure skirt is tight and matches perfectly with
shape of the frame. Some small spacing is ok on top and bottom.
2. Attach thud pad in front center of cage and skirt by using zip ties or lacing twine.

STEP 10
ATTACH FRAME PADDING
1. Using picture above as reference, add padding to each section as shown. Pads will be secured with
attached Velcro. At this stage the cage will still be in lowered position.
2. Add pads to each lifting bar. Once completed and using two people, lift the cage into upright po-
sition using the lifting bars. There are pre-welded guides in order to attach lifting bars using secured
locking pins attached to lifting bars with safety cable.
3. Erect cage into full lifted position to begin Step 11.

STEP 11
NET ASSEMBLY
1. Unpack net and lay out under the cage. Position the net with the attached baffle net on the bottom
side of the net and towards the back of the cage. Locate net tags to guide you for correct position.
2. Using (4) adjustable net hanging straps and a ladder. Safely attach net to underneath cross bars.
The net straps should be loose enough that the net hangs about 12” below the frame. Be sure that
the net is not attached to lifting bars. Only the cross rib sections. The adjustable hanging straps are
a temporary tool to help position the net and hold into place while lacing the net.
3. Use several zip ties to position net along top of vinyl skirt and side frames.
4. Use lacing twine to secure net on the front rib section and also on rib frame above vinyl skirt. The
net will also be laced along the front lower reinforced corner. See picture above for reference.
5. The two middle rib sections will only require the precut cords spaced evenly along the perimeter
if the rib sections. Tie precut cords in a loop fashion to allow the net to hang about 8-12” below the
frame. This will help prevent ricochet on the middle rib sections.

STEP 12
COACHES PLATFORMS
1. Install pre-assembled coach’s platforms on each side of dolly assembly by inserting long rod
through back frame assembly and inside shaft of coach’s platform as shown in pictures above. Se-
cure with heavy duty cotter pins.
2. Be sure all bolts underneath platform are secure.
3. The coach’s platform can be lifted to an upright position for transport and storage by locking into
place with safety pin already attached to back frame assembly.
IMPORTANT: INSPECT BEFORE USE!
1. Once all components are assembled be sure to make a final check of all components.
2. Be sure all components are tight and installed properly.
3. Test lowering the cage and raising to be sure net does not prevent cage from lowering properly. (If
this happens check to make sure you did not secure net in wrong area)
4. Move cage using dolly assembly by pushing down on the handle to lift rear of cage. This will allow
easier steering when moving cage to desired location or storage.
5. Side wheels are able to turn sideways by changing position of locking pin and turning wheel to the
side. Be sure to reinstall locking pin once wheel is in spot needed. This will allow for easier storage in
tight spaces.
