I. Initial Set-Up:
Note: Initial setup is done using only the Little Champ frame without the backboard and
rim installed.
1) Remove the Little Champ frame from the box. Check that all components and
hardware are present.
2) Set the Little Champ frame on the rim and adjust the bumpers, along the front
bracket and side rail (without Little Champ backboard or rim installed). As rims
may vary slightly in dimension and degree of out-of-roundness, the first step is to
adjust the bumpers so the frame is snug within the rim (see Figure 1).
Note: If the rim is badly out of level it should first be replaced or leveled (insert one
or two washers between the mounting plate and backboard, on the lower two
mounting bolts only).
3) Adjust the height and depth of the arms so they grab beneath the backboard, while
keeping the front of the frame essentially plumb (see Figure 2). If necessary,
replace the support arms with the larger ones that are supplied, to accommodate
backboards other than 42” (see Figure 7).
4) Using a level, adjust the front frame to make it plumb (see Figure 3). Secure all
hardware.
5) Carefully remove the frame, by tilting and lifting it off the rim and away from the
backboard.
6) Practice installing and removing the frame to get a feel for the action of lifting it
over the rim and engaging the backboard.
7) Install the backboard mounting brackets onto the front frame (see Figure 4).
8) Install the backboard onto the front frame (see Figure 5).
9) Install the rim and handle (see Figure 6).
10) Apply important warning labels as shown in Figure 8.
11) Install the completed unit on the rim and adjust the degree of plumb, if needed. If
the unit cannot be plumbed the rim may be too far out of level.
Note: Two adults are required to safely install the Little Champ (see Figure 9).
12) Check that the Little Champ is soundly seated on the rim and the two support
arms are locked beneath the board.
