CONDITIONS. THE LOCATION (HILL/INCLINE) OF THE POLE, SOIL CONDITIONS
(SAND/CLAY) AND OTHER FACTORS COULD REQUIRE A LARGER HOLE SIZE AND
CONCRETE FOOTING.
3. Insert and secure bottom pole section into ground sleeve (4).
4. Fill hole approximately 1/3 full with concrete. Insert ground sleeve assembly and center in hole.
Fill hole completely with concrete.

(21, 22) to adjustment rod with screw (23), carriage bolt (24), and flange nut (9) as shown.
IMPORTANT! Indicator labels should be applied as close to holes as possible (as shown in
illustration) to prevent labels from being damaged during height adjustment. NOTE: Holes
in adjustment rod allow for either rear access or side access.
13. Insert handle assembly through pole mount assembly as shown. Lock pole assembly in place at
the 10’ (3.05 m) mark with pin (18).
14. Install spacers (25) onto backboard brackets (26) with bolts (12, 27) and lock-nuts (14, 28) as
shown. IMPORTANT! Test fit bolts (12, 27) into holes of brackets (26) and carefully rock

21. Use wedge to tap cap of ground sleeve until tight.
22. Install net clips (42).
The Quick Clip™ rapid release net system lets the net pull away from the rim. This reduces the
risk of player injury or property damage. However, improper installation or a ball making contact
at an odd angle may disengage the net clip from the goal rim. Usually, the clip is reinstalled with
little or no problem. We hope that you agree this inconvenience is minor when compared to the
safety of the players. Quick Clip: US Patent No. 5,792,010/5,795,253.
The two outer hooks on net clip must face towards inside of goal rim. Insert larger hole in net clip
onto rim stud, push down on net clip, then slide net clip right, locking or snapping securely into
position (clips must "snap" into place to insure a secure fit). NOTE: Net clips should not slide
with ease. It is very important that the net clips are in the locked position before going on to next
step.
