Storing and Retracting Positions

Step away and push the up button on your remote control until the bottom weight is up and behind the impact screen. Then push the center stop button. Your system is secure up and out of the way. ⬆️

Note: When retracting the first few times, keep the screen in line while rolling up. After several uses, it will evenly roll up tight. (May need to hand guide it a few times)

Image Description: Shows the screen in Playing Position and Storage Position.

NOTE: This system is designed to work with standard garage door arm brackets. Once your system is completely installed, open the garage door and stop the garage door just before the system top tube. If clearance is good, then you are all set. If it looks like the arm bracket will not clear your system, then cut off the excess arm bracket with a hacksaw or grinder. This will allow for free travel.

Notes and Warnings

NOTE: The optimal garage door height for this system is 8ft. However, an older style 7ft high garage door will work, except it will have a smaller screen surface. Another option for 7ft high garage doors is to just swap out the 76 inch vertical tracks for 88 inch vertical tracks and you will achieve the intended height and screen surface.

WARNING: This system is intended for golf ball impact only and only intended for provided materials.

• Do not hang from or hang items from this system that were not supplied for this system.
• Make sure all people and objects are clear when using this system.
• Place the golf mat in an area that will allow you to safely hit screen.
