NOTE

These instructions detail installing a No. 176 Backstop permanently in a concrete footing. If using a No. 176 Backstop with Porter's No. 00275-000 Outdoor Ground Sleeve, consult factory for information on proper Post, and refer to instructions included with the No. 00275-000 Outdoor Ground Sleeve. DO NOT PROCEED.

INSTALL POST

1. Check all items against Parts List on Page 1 to ensure all parts and hardware are available to complete the installation.

2. Locate center position of post. CAUTION – Contact your local utility companies to locate buried electrical, gas, water lines, etc.

BEFORE DIGGING HOLE

FOR FOOTING. Also, check for overhead utilities.

3. Dig a footing 3'-0" in diameter by 4'-0" in depth, centered on the final location of the post. Note – Footing size may have to be increased depending on soil conditions.

See Detail "A".

4. Using at least two adults, tip the bottom end of the post into the footing hole, and raise it to the vertical position. See Detail "A".

Detail "B" 3"1

2"PLAYING

SURFACE

5. Center the post in the hole. Shore it up, making sure the post is level, plumb, and at the proper height above the playing surface.

A suggested method of shoring is shown in Detail "A".

6. Pour concrete into the hole (approximately 1.1 cubic yards), tamping as it is poured to eliminate air pockets. Slope top of footing upward toward post so that top of footing at post is approximately 1/2" above playing surface. Slope footing away from post, to a point that is 3" below the playing surface. See Detail "B". This will ensure proper drainage, reducing the possibility of corrosion of the steel post. Do not cover the footing at the post with dirt, sod or anything else that could hold moisture.

7. Allow concrete to cure at least 24 hours before proceeding.

ASSEMBLE BACKBOARD AND GOAL

8. Assemble backboard and goal to post using the four bolts furnished with the goal. Lay a level horizontally across the top of the backboard and across the goal. Rotate backboard and goal as required until both are level. When level, tighten hardware securely.

Do not tighten hardware until later. See Detail "C".
