satisfied with alignment, attach backboard to H-Frame Backboard Mount
(D) at all points along the top and bottom of the board using the 10mm X
3cm Hex Bolts (R), 10mm Flatwashers (S), 10mm Lockwashers (T) and
10mm Hex Nuts (U) as shown in figure D. Tighten all 10mm hardware.
15. Mount the H-Frame Backboard Mount (D) and Backboard assembly lower
pivot tube first to the Main Extension Arm (B) using one 18mm X 33cm
Hex Bolt (P) and one 18mm Lock Nut (Q). Next, attach the upper H-Frame
Backboard Mount (D) pivot tube to the Parallel Linkages (C) using one
18mm X 30cm Hex Bolt (O) and one 18mm Lock Nut (Q).
16. Check face of backboard to see if it is level forward and back. If it is not
level, correct it by adjusting the 16mm J-Bolt Hex Nuts (L) located
underneath the Vertical Post (A) flanged base plate.
17. Prior to installing the rim, locate four Plastic and Steel Spacers (W). Insert
them into four rim holes in the backboard. This is very important to prevent
backboard breakage.
CAUTION: Do not proceed with rim
installation without these spacers!
18. Mount the rim to the H-Frame Backboard Mount (D) and Backboard
assembly using the hardware supplied in the rim box.
NOTE: Use a level to make sure rim is
level side to side before tightening nuts
19. After everything is square, make sure all nuts on the system have been
tightened.
20. To apply the Rim Height Sticker (V), first use a tape measure to crank rim
up to exactly 10' from the playing surface. Use a pencil to make a mark on
the Spring-Assist Cartridge (E) where the bottom of the Rim Height
Indicator (G) stops. Then, peel and apply sticker to outside of Spring-
Assist Cartridge (E) lining up the pencil mark with the 10' mark on the
sticker. See figure A for a diagram of a completed height indicator
assembly.
NOTE: It is advisable to wait up to two
weeks to allow the anchor footing to fully
cure before aggressive play.
NOTE: Do not over tighten. If unit is
excessively difficult to crank up and down
the 18mm Lock Nut (Q) that secures the
Main Extension Arm (B) and Vertical Post
(A) is probably too tight.
