- check if it’s loose on the 2 mounting bolts. This indicates that you are at the equilibrium point.
- Remove the 2 nuts and bolts attaching the top and bottom of the actuator to the main extension arm and main pole ears. Set the actuator aside. If the bolts do not come out easily, do not continue and contact Pro Dunk’s support team at 1-888-600-8545m (support@produnk.com).

- If your Pro Dunk system is adjusting below 7.5ft, remove the safety pin/bar as shown in figure A7.
- Rotate the Drill Holster TM into the down position as shown in figure A2. Keep your hand clear of the holster to avoid pinch points.
- Connect your 18-24v drill onto the Lightning Adjust TM as shown in figure A5 and A6. Ensure that the socket is fully seated on the Lightning Adjust TM.
- Adjust the system up or down 1 time every 10 minutes to allow the drill/battery and Lightning Adjust TM to cool in-between uses. Make sure the Drill Holster TM is holding the drill in place and does not allow it to rotate. Keep your hands clear of the drill and holster to avoid pinching yourself.
- Once at the desired height, disconnect the drill from the Lightning Adjust TM and rotate the Drill Holster TM into the storage position as shown in figure A1.

Assembly instruction
-
Step 1— Start by adjusting your system down to roughly the 6-7ft range This will put the system at equilibrium and allow you to easily remove the 2 large bolts holding your current actuator on. Each systems equilibrium height can be slightly different from one another. To check if the system is at equilibrium pull back and forth on the actuator cylinder as you adjust the system. Once the actuator gets loose on the 2 mounting bolts you know you are at the equilibrium point.
-
Step 2— Next remove the 2 nuts and bolts attaching the top and bottom of the ac-tuator to the main extension arm and main pole ears and remove the actuator and set it to the side.

Step 3– Grab your Lightning Adjust™ actuator and mount the lower bolt to the ear on the main pole using the bolt and nut removed in the pervious step. Then put the Drill Holster ™ in the upright (storage) position and use the manual crank handle to adjust the Lightning Adjust™ actuator upper holes to line up with the main extension arm holes. Then secure using the bolt and nut removed in the pervious step.
Do not over tighten the 2 bolts and nuts. These are pivot points and need to
be backed off a half turn to allow the system to pivot during adjustment.
