-IDENTIFY ALL PARTS AND BE SURE ALL PIECES ARE PRESENT
STEP 2
1. Attach EACH Wheel protector frame assembly (#7) to EACH ‘V’ shaped lower frame
(#8) Using 16 each 2-3/4” Allen Head Bolts in hardware bag (Part D) and 16 each
11/16” hex head lock nuts along with 16 each washer provided. (Washer will go on
hex nut side of frame).
(Note: The front welded bracket on ‘V’ Frame will be the front of the cage, make
sure wheel protector frame is attached to outside of V Frame Assembly)

[phone] www.TrigonSports.com
Attach each rear section of ‘V’ shape lower frame (#8) to each side of back frame assembly using
(2)ea (#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 assembly is located in bag ‘Part I’. Wheel shafts are located in ’Part J’
1. 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 ASSMEBLY)

1. Attach dolly assembly mounting plates as shown in pictures above. Be sure black
mounting 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 cotter 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.

10
Trigon Sports International, Inc.

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.
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 2 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 9 (ATTACHING VINYL SKIRT AND 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 position 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 installation)
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. Secure 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.
