 Instructions
for the 201 Series Sets
POLES AND NET SET UP
Assemble guy cables per enclosed directions. Then slip the
nail stakes through open chain loop on guy cable, and drive
two stakes into ground for each pole with hammer. (Figure A
& B)
CAUTION: STAKES
MUST BE DRIVEN ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO THE GROUND, WITH ONLY
CHAIN LOOPS SHOWING ABOVE GROUND!
Slide bottom tube inside middle tube, you will have to
hold the snap button closed with fingers, until it locks
into place at first hole setting on bottom middle tube. Tie
the net to eye bolt at pole top if not already done. Extend
pole to desired height, snap button will lock into position
at each height setting. The pole provides three heights,
men's, women's & junior. Now loop each steel ring on guy
line over top of pole, ring will rest on eyebolt. (Figure A)
Stand pole up and angle towards center court unless you have
someone to hold it, and repeat 1 through 2 for other pole.
Now stand both poles up and apply tension to top net rope by
pulling downwards with slide bar handles on guy cables.
Connect spring snap on bottom webbing tension strap to
net bottom cable. (Figure A) Tie off the other side to bolt,
and cinch bottom tension strap. Net height can be adjusted
by moving cam-buckle to other hole setting on pole, ten
settings are provided to allow for 36" and 39" deep nets.
The last thing to do is apply tension to webbing tension
straps or rope tie cords from net tapes and dowel rods back
to the pole. If your net has webbing straps, pull on each
webbing strap; do not pull to hard, but just enough to
stretch the mesh of the netting and vinyl out. Pulling too
hard can cause undue wear on netting and vinyl, or break
plastic tension buckle. With the right amount of tension
applied to netting, the dowel rod tape will be even with top
and bottom tapes. If you have a net with rope tie cords
either two or four, you will need to tie them back around
poles to stretch netting mesh out. Pulling too hard can
cause the grommets to be ripped away from the vinyl.
For storage, remove bottom tube and telescope top tube
all the way through the middle tube. The net and tie cords
can be left on and rolled up onto the tubes. After use on
sand we recommend that you separate all tubes and put into
case. Hose tubes out with clean water to remove sand and
dirt before telescoping together.
Store system in cool dry place do not expose to prolonged
periods in the sun, or rain, store on flat surface away from
heat source. For set up at beach, keep sand out of
telescoping pole. Try not to let poles fall onto sand during
set up or take down. Poles could jam together, if pole is
closed while sand is inside. After playing on sand do not
close poles, take apart, roll up into net, and put in
carrying case as separate tubes. Hose out with fresh water
at home to remove all sand from inside and outside of tubes,
let dry in vertical position before telescoping together.
You should have no problems, if you follow directions
carefully.
COURT LAYOUT
An ideal spot would be a flat grassy area free of holes or
foreign objects with no limbs or wires overhead (Figure
B).Lay out rope boundary on the ground to form a rectangle,
attach center s-hook on one side of boundary, a steel ring
marks other side of center court.
Attach hooks on bungee cord to each of the four corner
loops of the rectangle. Drive stakes into the ground at a
45-degree angle to the corner loop, at each corner. Do not
pull to hard on bungee cord, but just enough to get a
straight line. Bungee cord will then stretch when boundary
is tripped on. For storage, use plastic roll up rack, to
roll rope onto.For set up on sand, you will need to purchase
our boundary sand anchors #BTS.
CAUTION: NEVER LEAVE OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT. ROPE LINES ON THE
GROUND MAY BE TRIPPED OVER, ALWAYS KEEP SMALL CHILDREN AWAY
FROM PLAYING AREA, AND INFORM ALL OTHERS OF POTENTIAL
HAZARD. THE SUN WILL DETERIORATE THE ROPE, DO NOT LEAVE
OUTSIDE UNLESS IN USE. WHEN REMOVING NAIL STAKES FROM THE
GROUND ALWAYS GRAB BUNGEE CORD UP CLOSE TO NAIL AND PULL
STRAIGHT UP OR DIG OUT OF SAND. BE CAREFUL AROUND BOUNDARY
LINES & GUYLINES THAT MAYBE TRIPPED OVER!
