STEP 1 - CONTINUED
The upper set of (#3) nuts and (#4) washers can be hand threaded onto the (#2) L-Bolts to prevent them from being lost.
• Thread the 1st (#3) nut onto each of the four (#2) L-Bolts
leaving 3”of the thread exposed above the (#3) nut as
illustrated in Image 2.
• Insert each (#2) L-Bolt into the (#1) template and secure
with (#3) nuts as shown in Image 1 on the previous page.
Tighten the top (#3) nut to prevent the bolts from moving.
• The remaining hardware is not necessary at this point and
can be placed on the (#2) L-Bolts above the (#1) template to
prevent them from being lost.
STEP 2 - DIG THE HOLE
• Before you dig conrm that all underground utilities have
been marked and that you understand the markings.
• Irrigation lines, invisible fence wires etc. are not considered
an underground utility and will not be marked by the (811)
technician.
• Determine your hole location keeping in mind the overhang
of the backboard in relationship to the face of the pole and
the overall playing area of your driveway or slab.
• Dig a square hole that measures at least 48”deep with
a diameter of at least 16 inches and is square with the
driveway/slab and/or playing area. *Keep in mind the top of
the anchor (#1) template should be set level with the playing
surface to ensure the rim will reach the regulation 10’ playing
height.
Note: A cardboard concrete form or one constructed out of 2 x 4
lumber is recommended for the top 4” of the hole as it provides a
nice nished product, aids in squaring the anchor system with the
driveway/slab and/or playing area and provides a reference point
for the top of the template in relationship to the playing surface.

STEP 3 - MIX THE CONCRETE
• Put concrete in the wheel barrow and add water per the instructions on the bag. Working quickly, thoroughly mix the
concrete with the mortar hoe. You’ll want the concrete to be the consistency equivalent to a 6” slump.
• Insert the #40 reinforcement bar pushing each stick to the bottom of the hole after a couple of bags of concrete have
been mixed and placed in the hole.
• Working quickly, continue to mix and add concrete until the hole is lled to the top of the cardboard or wooden form.
*You must work quickly as the concrete has the potential to setup before you have an opportunity to insert the anchor
into the wet concrete as detailed in Step 4.
Note: Wet concrete has the potential to setup very quickly depending on several conditions. These conditions include but
are not limited to:
• Air temperature, humidity and the exposure to direct sunlight.
STEP 4 - INSERT THE ANCHOR
• Place the anchor in the center of the hole square with the driveway/slab and/or playing area and press it down into
the wet concrete until the template is resting on top of the wet concrete.
Note: The four (#3) nuts located below the (#1) template will be embedded in the concrete.
• It is important that the anchor is both level side-to-side as well as front-to-back.
• Check often over the next 30 minutes with a level to ensure that the anchor has not moved from its intended position.
ALLOW THE CONCRETE TO CURE
• Allow the concrete to cure a minimum of 72 hours.
• Cooler temperatures may require additional cure time.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Tools Required for Assembly
1 - Level
1 - 1 1/8” Open end wrench or adjustable wrench
1 - Tape measure
2 - 3/4” Open end wrenches or ratchet & socket
1 - 9/16” Open end wrench
1 - 9/16” Socket & ratchet or additional wrench
1 - 8’ Step ladder or Telescopic folding ladder - Preferred
1 - Can of spray adhesive - Optional but highly recommended
*Spray adhesive can be found at many hardware stores. (Loctite Brand or 3M)
Note: Do not use an impact gun on stainless steel hardware.
Stainless steel hardware will commonly lock up or seize on itself before being fully tightened. It is important to apply a small
amount of grease or an anti-seize lubricant designed for stainless steel hardware before threading on the nut.
Experienced Installer Tip: A great deal of success has been had using the spray adhesive as an anti-seize lubricant during the
assembly process. Simply apply the spray adhesive to the bolt threads before threading on the nut and tighten with hand tools as
you normally would.
STEP 1 - PREPARE ANCHOR
• Remove the (#3) nuts, (#4) washers and the (#1) template from the (#2) L-Bolts leaving the four (#3) nuts that are located below
the (#1) template as they will be forever embedded in concrete.
• Thread one (#3) nut all the way down on to each (#2) L-Bolt resting against the nuts embedded in the concrete.
• Lay a level across each pair of (#3) nuts leveling them from front-to-back and left-to-right.
• Place a (#4) washer on top of each (#3) nut after leveling.

STEP 2 - POLE ASSEMBLY - JACK PLATES
• Position the pole box in front of the anchor with the base plate nearest the anchor.
• Open the box and rotate the pole until the jack attachment brackets are facing up.
• Attach the jack ears to the jack brackets on the pole with two (#20) hex head bolts, four (#13) at washers and two (#21) nuts per
jack ear as shown below in Image 4.

STEP 3 - POLE ASSEMBLY - LOWER ARM
With the jack ears still facing up, position the base plate of the pole inline with the anchor and up against the front set of anchor bolts.
Prop the pole up on a padded saw horse or a folding ladder as shown in Image 5 to complete the following.
Note: It is very important that the installer understands the importance of the bushing assembly. A properly assembled bushing will
not only protect the painted parts during adjustment, but will provide a smooth and quiet operating system.
• Attach the lower Y-arm to the pole as shown in Image 5 using one (#17) bolt, one (#9) stainless washer, two (#8) ABS washers, one
(#10) stainless steel tube and one (#11) white nylon tube per side of the lower arm.
Note: Do not fully tighten the (#17) bolts at this time. These bolts will be tightened once the jack has been attached to the rear portion
of the arm in (Step 6).

STEP 4 - POLE ASSEMBLY - UPPER ARMS
• Attach the upper arms to the pole as shown in Image 6 using one (#18) bolt, two (#9) stainless steel washers, four (#8) ABS washers,
2 (#25) gray nylon tubes and one (#19) nut. Tighten bolts snug, but do not over tighten.
Experienced Installer Tip: Do not apply anti-seize or spray adhesive to the threads of the bolt until after it has passed thru the top of
the pole. Doing so beforehand will cause any leftover production debris to stick to the threads of the bolt. Dirty threads will cause the
stainless hardware to lock up or seize. Once a nut and bolt seizes, it must be cut apart and replaced.

STEP 5 - POLE ASSEMBLY - LOWER JACK ATTACHMENT
• Locate and unwrap the jack leaving the plastic zip tie intact.
• Attach the (#22) handle to the (#6) jack with (#23) retainer clip. Turn the handle 10-12 revolutions partially extending the jack.
• Attach the (#6) jack to the (#5) jack ears using one (#16) bolt, one (#9) stainless washer, one (#25) gray nylon tube, and 2 (#8) ABS
washers per side of the jack as shown in Image 7.
Experienced Installer Tip: When attaching the jack to the jack ears it helps to rst insert the (#25) gray nylon tube into the (#5) jack
ear centering it on the ear. Apply a small amount of spray adhesive to the smooth side of the (#8) ABS washers and slide them over the
(#25) gray nylon tube adhering them to the (#5) jack ears. This will prevent the (#8) ABS washers from getting jostled o of the (#25)
gray nylon tubes during assembly.
• Rest the top of the (#6) jack on the pole protecting the painted surface with a small piece of packing foam or cardboard. You may
fully tighten the (#16) bolts at this time.
