Goalrilla B333W CV54 Basketball System Owner’s Manual

Goalrilla B333W CV54 Basketball System

INTRODUCTION

• Read this manual carefully before starting assembly. Read each step completely before beginning each step.

• Some smaller parts may be shipped inside larger parts. Check inside all parts and cartons before assembling or ordering parts.

• To make assembly of your basketball system easier, use the Hardware Identifier on page 3 and 4 to identify and sort all fasteners. Check all cartons for kits. All hardware is not
  located in one kit.

• Do not tighten hardware until instructed to do so. If hardware is tightened too soon, mounting holes may not align and parts may not easily fit together. Leave locknuts slightly loose until you are instructed to tighten them.

• An electric screwdriver is helpful in assembly. However, please set at low torque and use caution because you could overtighten the hardware and strip the screws.

• Save this instruction and your proof of purchase (receipt) in the event that the manufacturer has to be contacted for replacement parts.

WARNING
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Owner must ensure that all players know and follow these rules for safe operation of the system.

• Only hang from the rim briefly to regain balance or avoid injuring others. Release the rim as soon as safely possible.
• DO NOT HANG on the rim or any part of system including backboard, support braces or net.
• During play, especially when performing dunk type activities, keep players face away from the backboard, rim, and net. Serious injury could occur if teeth/face encounter backboard, rim, or net.
• Wear a mouthguard when playing to avoid dental injuries.
• Do not slide, climb, or play on pole.
• During Play, do not wear jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc.). Objects may entangle in net or other areas of structure.
• Do not allow children to adjust system.
• When adjusting height, keep hands and fingers away from moving parts.
• Keep water and organic material away from pole. Pole can rust and fail.
• Once a month check pole and all metal parts for rust. Completely remove rust and repaint with exterior enamel. If rust has penetrated any steel part, replace that part immediately.
• Check system before each use for loose hardware, signs of rust and instability. Repair before each use. Never play on damaged equipment.
• Do not use this system to lift or hoist anything. The mechanism is designed to lift only the weight of the backboard and rim. Do not hang anything from the handle, rim, backboard, or lifter arms as this will damage the system and void the warranty.
• Refer to product manual for assembly instructions.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.
• 4 people are recommended for this operation.
• Seat the pole sections properly (if applicable). Failure to do so could allow the pole sections to separate during play.
• Before digging contact utility company to locate underground power cables, gas and water lines. Ensure there are no overhead power lines within 20 ft. ( m) radius of pole location.
• Climate, corrosion or misuse could result in system failure.
• If technical assistance is required, contact the manufacturer.

WARNING:
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

• Only hang from the rim of GROUND BASED SYSTEMS briefly to regain balance or avoid injuring others. Release the rim as soon as possible. DO NOT DUNK OR HANG ON WALLMOU NT SYSTEMS.
• During play, do not wear jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc.) Objects may entangle in net or other areas of structure.
• Wear mouth guard during playing to avoid dental injuries.
• Do not allow children to adjust the system.
• See mounting structure for additional warnings.

HARDWARE IDENTIFIER

INSTALLATION TIMELINE

1. Prior to anchor system and goal assembly, coll utility services for location of underground utility lines before you dig.
2. Vertical main post assembly is a two port process.
3. PART 1
4. Day 1. Complete Anchor System Installation Instructions. Day 5. (Below)
5. Day 2-4. Allow concrete to cure.
6. PART 2
   Complete Goolrillo ™ assembly instructions. (Requires four adults)

ANCHOR SYSTEM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Day 1}

{WARNING
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 for Anchor Installation (not included)

• 11 – 80 lb. bogs of concrete (2-3 extra recommended) 1 – wheel borrow
• 1 – post hole digger (optional) 1 – garden hose I
• 1 – 15/16″ open end wrench 1 – level
• 1 – 15/16″ socket and ratchet (optional) 1 – tape measure
• 1- concrete form (see note ofter step 2)
  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. Note: When digging hole, if you hit rock
  and cannot dig through contact a contractor.

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.
   Overhang when adjusted to 1 0 ft. = 31 1 /2″

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.
   • Note: Using a concrete form for the top 411 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.
   • Note: Failure to dig and fill hole as instructed will result in increased system vibration.
   • tip: It is always a good idea to purchase one or two extra bags of concrete, just in case you need them. If extra bags are not used you can return them to the store.

3. Mix and pour concrete into hole. Follow instructions on concrete bog. Stop about 18″ below court level.
4. Insert four reinforcement bars (Key #40) into concrete 811 apart creating a square in center on hole.
5. Place form in desired location and finish pouring concrete up to court level.
6. Push anchor system into concrete and agitate to work out voids in concrete. Immediately use a level to level and square anchor plate to ploying surface. Cleon off any concrete that may be on exposed threads.
   Note: The bottom four nuts will be forever embedded in concrete. The top four nuts remain on bolts and are used for leveling. (See Step 11 on page 9)
   Let concrete cure for a MINIMUM of 72 hours.
