h. Attach these assembled pipes to the bottom plank first using the hex bolts provided (smaller

inner pipe gets attached at the wall). Be sure to assemble flat washers provided in between pipe
and fittings, as this protects the pipes from wear over time.

i. Assemble the pipe frame at the top plank in the same manner, allow this frame to hang down

and lay upon the bottom frame.

j. Attach board mount fittings to backboard if applicable, using 3/8” carriage bolts provided at

a. 66” center to center for glass board.
b. 35” center to center for fan aluminum board.
Any unit with height adjuster will have board mount fittings; all fan boards will have them.

k. Using a cart, roll backboard to position directly in front of pipe frames.
l. A lifting system will need to be used to position the backboard. A manual material lift is ideal

(minimum capacity 500 lbs). If another method of hoisting the board is used such as chain
hoist, make sure this device is attached no lower than 15’ from the floor. Additionally, nylon
web straps will be needed to wrap around backboard approximately 4’ apart for balance, then
hooked to lifting device as shown here. Secure this at the appropriate distance from the wall, at
the centerline of the rim, before proceeding. Attach to backboard and apply tension.

m. Once the backboard is securely supported, the pipe frames can be attached at the board mount

brackets. Using the appropriate hardware provided, attach the top frame first. Lift backboard as
needed to allow these pipes to reach the board.

n. Lift the board an additional 3’ to 4’ and attach the bottom pipes. If the unit is to be supported

from the bottom, the eyebolts will be used here (make sure the eye of both eyebolts points
outward).

o. Make certain that all brackets are in place and securely tightened before proceeding, check lift

mechanism.

p. The backboard can now be raised to the proper playing height. Lift the board until the center of

the top goal mounting holes are 9’-11” above the playing surface.

q. Attach the chains to the board hinge fittings eyebolts using quick links, leveling the frames as

you proceed. The chain as shipped is sized for the maximum Face of Bank, so for shorter units
it may need to be trimmed after completion. Make certain that all quick-links, set nuts at
turnbuckles, eyebolts, etc. are tight. Distribute weight equally between chains. Optimum angle
for chains is 45°.

r. Assemble horizontal support braces by attaching ‘clamshell’ pipe clamps to frame pipes, then

attach cross brace pipe between the two. Do not drill holes in frame at this time

s. Attach horizontal cross-braces:

a. For units 2’-4’, no horizontal cross braces are required.
