SERIES 100 POLE, NET AND BOUNDARY SETUP
Assemble rope guy lines per enclosed directions in plastic bag. Using Figure B as a guide for stake placement. Slip each nail stake through open chain loop on guy lines, and drive all stakes into the ground with hammer. CAUTION: Stakes must be driven all the way into ground with only chain loops showing above ground.Using Figure A as a guide, hold push button in at top of pole and telescope bottom tube out, pole has two height settings, either men's or women's height. Now attach guy lines to pole, the center loop your formed goes over top of pole and rest on eyebolt. Attach top net rope to eyebolt, if not already done. If your tying your own net rope to eyebolts, have about 16"-18" space from pole to net vinyl. Apply tension to top of net by pulling on slide bars equally. For maximum net tension, release one side, and angle base of pole towards stakes. Move bars 2" to 4" above where they first were. Repeat above for other pole.
If not already done, form a loop at both ends of net bottom rope, if you have a rope bottom net. Tie a small loop knot about 3" away from net vinyl, cut excess rope off and burn ends of rope. The loop only needs to be large enough to get the bungee strap through. Loop bottom bungee cord around pole twice and back through the loop you just formed on net bottom, and then connect together with s-hook. Repeat procedure for other pole. Net height can be adjusted by moving bungee strap up or down on pole.
Adjust bottom of pole so that it is vertical in all directions. When maximum tension is on net, pole has no big bends in it, maybe a small bow, adjust so that both poles are vertical to the eye. The last thing to do is tie off the draw cords from the net back to the pole, depending on which net you have. You may have top, middle and bottom tie cords on your net. Do not pull to hard, but just enough to stretch the mesh of the netting out.
For storage, telescope bottom tube up inside top tube until snap button locks. The net and tie cords can be left on and rolled up onto the tubes or put one pole next to other then fold netting from middle up to the poles. 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 the pole 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. 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.
CAUTION: Always stand on backside of pole when installing bungee straps. Do not let anyone stand at net side of set. Bungee strap could come lose and hit someone. Please be careful! The volleyball set you have purchased will provide many years of playing enjoyment, if you care for it properly.
COURT LAYOUT
An ideal spot would be a flat grassy area free of holes or foreign objects with no limbs or wires overhead. Lay out rope lines 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. Then drive each steel anchor at corner loops into the ground, pulling the rope tight as you work your way around all four corners. You can close the eye on the stake with channel locks, so that they are permanently attached to the corner loops. For set up on sand you will need to purchase our #BTS sand stake set. You may also find it helpful, to also purchase our convenient storage rack #HW.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. Be careful around boundary lines & guy lines that maybe tripped over!
