4. Assembly Instructions
Please follow these steps carefully. Two adults are recommended for assembly.
- Unpack and Organize: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Lay out all parts and hardware, comparing them against the package contents list to ensure everything is present.
- Assemble the Base: Attach the support poles to the portable base. Ensure all connections are secure. The base is designed with easy-rolling wheels for portability.
- Connect Support Poles: Connect the multi-section support poles. The innovative rotatable mechanism for height adjustment will be integrated here.
- Install Backboard and Rim: Securely attach the shatterproof backboard to the upper support pole. Then, attach the basketball rim and net to the backboard. The backboard features an alloy frame with extra metal trim and a bottom PE wrap edge for durability.
- Fill the Base for Stability: This is a critical step. Fill the base with water (up to 14.3 gallons / 143 lbs) or sand. For enhanced stability, place the provided sandbag (fill with sand separately, approx. 110 lbs) into its designated compartment on the base. This significantly reduces the risk of tipping.
- Install LED Light Kit: Attach the LED light strips around the perimeter of the backboard and rim. Connect them to the control box. Refer to the separate LED light kit instructions for detailed wiring and placement.
