BE CAREFUL LIFTING ANY PART OF THE UNIT; THIS MAY CAUSE INJURY. Placement of product with A INGROUND SWIMMING POOL should be AT THE THREE TO FIVE FOOT DEPTH LEVEL. This IS pool shot products RECOMMENDATION FOR UNIT USE. PRODUCT USEAGE INSTRUCTIONS (PLEASE READ ALL USEAGE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING PROJECT): If using water as weight: Take a garden hose and place hose end into the fill hole located at the BACK NECK AREA. Now turn on the water and fill the base to ONLY about 1/3 of its full capacity with water, then shut the water off. This amount of water weight will allow the base to stand securely enough for the attachment of the BACKBOARD AND RIM. THE BASE will be light enough for safer, easier movement of the unit up to its final point of use. This will be done later in the assembly process. If using sand as weight: Fill the base with sand through the fill hole located at the top of base next to the molded in ball holder. Fill the base to ONLY about 1/3 of its full capacity with sand, then stop. This amount of sand weight will allow the base to stand securely enough for the attachment of the BACK- BOARD AND RIM. THE BASE will be light enough for safer, easier movement of the unit up to its final point of use. This will be done later in the assembly process.
RIM AND BACKBOARD ASSEMBLY: Note: before starting assembly project, make sure that the backboard is in the upside down position for ease of assembly (SEE FIGURE 1). 1) Feed a 5/16 diameter x 3.00 long bolt through the back hole of the backboard. Make sure you place a washer on the bolt before inserting through hole FIGURE 2). (SEE FIGURE 1 FIGURE 2 2) After feeding the bolt & washer combination through the back hole, hang the rim on the protruding bolt. (SEE FIGURE 3). Note: You might need a second set of hands to hold the rim in place while applying the fastener. If you do not have a second person to help with this step, prop the rim in the horizontal position using a box or other object that will give you the same result (SEE FIGURE 4). FIGURE 3 3) ONCE THE BOLT IS THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE RIM, PLACE A 5/16 DIAMETER WASHER ON THE PROTRUDING BOLT AND THREAD A 5/16 DIAMETER NUT ONTO THE BOLT. DO NOT TIGHTEN AT THIS POINT, JUST MAKE SURE THAT IT IS ON AND SNUG. (SEE FIGURE 3). FIGURE 4 FIGURE 4
RIM AND BACKBOARD ASSEMBLY (CON T): 4) REPEAT STEPS 1 THROUGH 3 FOR THE OTHER THREE FASTENERS. (SEE FIGURES 5A-5C). FIGURE 5A FIGURE 5B FIGURE 5C 5) AFTER ALL OF THE NUTS ARE SNUG ON THE BOLTS, PROCEED TIGHTENING ALL OF THE NUTS UNTIL THE BOLT IS ALMOST FLUSH WITH THE TOP OF THE NUT (SEE FIGURE 6). NOTE: OVERTIGHTENING THE RIM NUTS COULD CAUSE STRESS ON THE RIM/BACKBOARD ASSEMBLY. FIGURE 6
Fastening the backboard assembly to the base: 6) Slide the mating block into the hole atop the base (see figure 7). FIGURE 7 FIGURE 8 7) AFTER SLIDING THE MATING BLOCK INTO THE BASE HEAD, MAKE SURE THE BLOCK IS WEDGED TIGHT..(SEE FIGURE 8). NOTE: NOTICE THAT THERE are THREE THREADED IN- SERTS MOLDED INTO THE FRONT SURFACE OF THE MAT- ING BLOCK AND ONE THREADED INSERT MOLDED INTO THE BASE (SEE FIGURE 9). 8) LAY BASE/MATING BLOCK ASSY. ON ITS BACK (SEE FIGURE 10). USING TWO PEOPLE,, ALIGN THE FOUR HOLES ON THE FRONT OF THE BACKBOARD WITH THE INSERTS IL- LUSTRATED ABOVE. FIGURE 9A MOLDED-IN INSERTS (TYPICAL 4 PLACES) FIGURE 10 POCKETS 9) ONCE YOU HAVE SEATED THE BACKBOARD INTO ITS POCKETS ON THE BASE, AND THE HOLES ARE NOW ALIGNED WITH THE INSERTS YOU CAN PROCEED TO THE NEXT STEP. (SEE FIGURE 11). FIGURE 11
Fastening the backboard assembly to the base (CON T): 10) USE A 4.375 LONG HEX HEAD BOLT TO snugly FASTEN THE TOP THREE LOCATIONS (SEE FIGURE 12A, 12B AND 12C). FIGURE 12A FIGURE 12B 11) PROCEED TO THE LOWER HOLE THIS TIME USING A 3.25 LONG HEX HEAD BOLT (SEE FIGURE 13). Remember to hand tighten only. FIGURE 9E FIGURE 13A & 13B FIGURE 12C 12) Now that all of the bolts are hand tightened, go back and tighten all four bolts with the necessary tools. Note: do not over tighten the bolts. This action could result in permanent damage to the unit. FIGURE 13B
BRINGING THE GAME TO THE POOL FOR FINAL ASSEMBLY: 13) AFTER THE BACKBOARD IS SECURELY TIGHTENED, LIFT UNIT BACK UP TO PLAYABLE POSITION (SEE FIGURE 14). FILLING THE BASE FOR STABILITY SAFETY: 14) NOW THAT THE GAME IS ASSEMBLED AND SECURE, very carefully slide the unit up to the edge of the swimming pool. Leave approximately 2-3 inches between the FRONT EDGE OF THE base and the pool's edge (SEE FIGURE 15). UP FIGURE 14 2 TO 3 WATER LEVEL FIGURE 15 MAKE SURE THE BASE DOES NOT OVER-HANG THE POOL DECK Before fully filling with water, we recommend that you pour approximately one (1) pint of liquid bleach or chlorine into the base to help prevent algae growth. REPEAT THIS PROCE- DURE A FEW TIMES DURING THE SWIMMING SEASON. AS A GUIDE, POOL SHOT HAS MOLDED IN A 50 GALLON FILL LINE ON THE BACK OF THE BASE FOR YOUR CON- VENIENCE. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND OVER FILLING (SEE FIGURE 16). (Not applicable for sand filling) FIGURE 16 16) Once the unit is in it s upright position AND FILLED WITH WATER OR SAND, push the orange fill/drain plug into the hole below the fill here text, LOCATED ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE BASE (See figure 17) 17) YOUR GAME BASE IS EQUIPPED WITH TWO SMALL RECESSES TO STORE YOUR BASKETBALL S WHEN YOU ARE NOT ENJOYING THE GAME.
