rock them in a circular motion to ream out paint from holes if necessary.
17. Install net clips (23) to rim (26).
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.
