7 Install the Gooseneck (No Height Adjuster)
The procedure below describes the installation of the gooseneck into the standard,
ground sleeve without the height adjuster; see Figure 5 and for details.
Note: If you are using the optional height adjuster mechanism, skip this section and
follow the instructions in section 8. If you are installing the gooseneck without a ground
sleeve, skip ahead to section 9.
The gooseneck slides into the non-adjustable ground sleeve and is centered within
the sleeve using centering rods installed at the bottom of the gooseneck and
centering/plumbing hex bolts and jam nuts at the top of the ground sleeve.
Install both 5/8-11 x 8-7/8”-long threaded centering rods in the centering holes at the
bottom of the gooseneck. Install jam nuts on each end of the centering rods. Center the
rods and tighten the jam nuts against the gooseneck to hold the centering rods in
place.
1. Thread all three 1/2”-13 jam nuts all the way onto the three 1/2”-13 x 2” long
hex bolts.
2. Install the three 1/2”-13 hex bolts into the three 1/2”-13 nuts welded into the top
of the ground sleeve.
3. Lift the gooseneck and slide it into the ground sleeve. Align the gooseneck
overhang so it is exactly perpendicular to the goal line.
4. Plumb and center the gooseneck (with respect to the ground sleeve) and
ensure that the gooseneck is properly aligned with the field of play.
5. Tighten the three hex bolts as much as possible to lock it in position.
a. Once all three bolts are pressed against the gooseneck, tighten each
bolt in sequence a quarter-turn at-a-time to ensure that the alignment is
not altered when tightening bolts.
b. Tighten the 1/2”-13 jam nuts against the ground sleeve.
6. Confirm that the gooseneck is till plumb and correctly aligned.
7. Drill two 5/8” holes in the gooseneck using the pre-drilled holes in the ground
sleeve for location and alignment.
