Grass, litter, etc. could cause corrosion and /or deterioration. Check pole system for signs of corrosion (rust, pitting, chipping). Remove rust and/or loose paint completely and repaint with exterior enamel paint. If rust has penetrated through the steel anywhere, replace pole immediately. Check system before each use for proper ballast, loose hardware, excessive wear, and signs of corrosion and repair before using. During play, use extreme caution to keep players face away from the backboard, rim, and net. Serious injury could occur if teeth/face come in contact with backboard, rim, or net. Wear a mouthguard when playing to avoid dental injuries. When adjusting height, keep hands and fingers away from moving parts. During play, do not wear jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc.). Objects may entangle in net. Do not allow children to adjust system. Check system before each use for instability. Never play on damaged equipment. Affixed to backboard. INSTALLATION TIMELINE 1. 2. Prior to anchor system and goal assembly, call utility services for location of underground utility lines before you dig. Vertical main post assembly is a two part process. PART 1 Complete Anchor System Installation Instructions. (Below) Day 2-4. Allow concrete to cure. Day 1. Day 5. PART 2 Complete GoalrillaTM assembly instructions. (Requires four adults) ANCHOR SYSTEM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Day 1) Figure 1 Before digging hole for anchor system, check for buried power, gas, water, and telecommunication lines! Failure to do so could result in serious or fatal injury! Contact your local utility company if unsure. Items needed (not included) 9 - 80 lb. bags of concrete 1 - post hole digger (optional) 1 - 15/16" wrench 1 - concrete form (see note after step 2) 1 - wheel barrow 1 - garden hose 1 - level 1 - tape measure Note: For best results with less vibration, anchor system should be independent of court. If pouring concrete for both at same time, add an expansion joint in between. 1. Determine the location of the anchor system. The proper location is as close to the court without making contact, as shown in Figure 1. This, however, is a general rule. If you need to locate the anchor system in a location other than this, use the following dimensions as a guide. Note: Using a concrete form for the top 4" of the concrete is recommended. Cardboard forms can be purchased at some hardware and home stores or a wooden form can be constructed out of 2 x 4's. 3. 4. 5. 6. Mix and pour concrete into hole. Follow instructions on concrete bag. Stop about 18" below court level. Insert four reinforcement bars (#40) into concrete 8" apart creating a square in center on hole. Place form in desired location and finish pouring concrete up to court level. Overhang when adjusted to 10 ft. = 29.75 2. Assemble anchor system as follows: Thread nut (#35) to bottom of threads on anchor bolt (#39) insert threads of anchor bolt (#39) through hole on anchor plate (#38) and secure with nut (#35). Repeat this step for the remaining anchor bolts. See Figure 2. Note: Each leg of anchor bolts should face the anchor bolt to the right. See Detail A. Push anchor system into concrete and agitate to work out voids in concrete. Immediately use a level to level and square anchor plate to playing surface. Clean off any concrete that may be on exposed threads. Note: The bottom four nuts will be forever embedded in concrete. Let concrete stand for a MINIMUM of 72 hours. Figure 2 4 GOALRILLATM IV ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (Day 5) IMPORTANT! Nylon washers (#5) adequately space painted parts at all pivot points.
