Important Notes

• Follow all warning signs and labels on equipment.

• Inspect all equipment before each use.

• Use the proper anchor depending on wall type. Consult ‘Anchor Management’

section in this manual for proper selection. The unit weight is approximately 300
pounds.

• Acoustic block or ‘sound block’ is the worst possible masonry type for wall

mounts. The block facing is textured, and there are slots every couple of inches.
The block must be filled solid at all attachment areas or failure is likely!

• Wall must be capable of supporting the entire load of the backstop and

accessories, as well as handling the shock effect of a large player slamming the
ball and/or hanging on the rim.

• Integrity of the wall must be verified by an architect or structural engineer.

• Over the course of time anchors and bolts/nuts may loosen as a result of vibration

during equipment use. Periodic inspection and rework is strongly advised to
tighten hardware and return equipment to original level of safety.

• All wall anchor hardware should be a minimum of ½” diameter.

• Preventive maintenance should be performed annually on all our basketball

backstops to insure years of safe, trouble-free use. This work must be completed
by a qualified installer or technician. If one is not available to you, Jaypro’s own
field service team can be hired to do the work – call Jaypro for pricing and
scheduling. See Appendix C for standard equipment maintenance instructions.

*** Important! ***

Following all guidelines for installation is absolutely critical to insure a successful and safe installation of wall
mounted equipment. Be especially careful with regards to wall anchor selection and preparation. Follow all
manufacturer’s instructions for proper use of specific wall anchors. Jaypro does not supply wall anchors with
wall mounted equipment, but they can be purchased directly from factory. Wall composition must be brick,
concrete, or other form of solid or semi-solid masonry for the backstops to be supported securely. If wall
composition is studded with either wood or steel, or there are obstructions or other such building features that
make a standard installation inappropriate or impossible, do not attempt installation without first contacting
Jaypro directly for a custom engineered solution. Jaypro will not assume liability for the installation of any wall
mounted unit.
