assembly. NOTE: Assemble lanyard (30) to locking pin (27) as shown.

14.Apply logo and height indicator labels (44) to adjustment rod (43) as shown. Attach handle parts (40, 41) to adjustment rod with screw (42), carriage bolt (22), and flange nut (14) as shown. IMPORTANT: Indicator labels should be applied as close to holes as possible to prevent labels from being damaged during height adjustment.

NOTE: Holes in adjustment rod allow for either rear access or side access.

15.Insert handle assembly through pole mount assembly as shown. Lock pole assembly in place at the 10’ (3.05 m) mark with pin (27).

16.Install spacers (32) onto backboard brackets (18) with bolts (33, 34) and lock-nuts (24, 25) as shown. NOTE: Test fit bolts into holes of brackets (18) and carefully 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.

WARNING: USE OF THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT PROPER INSTALLATION OF NET CLIPS, OR WHEN ALL NET CLIPS ARE NOT PRESENT COULD RESULT IN BODILY HARM. BE SURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY.
