After the frame is fully assembled check all hardware to make sure it is tightened and all joints are secured. Raise the upper frame arches into position, using the strut pipes, and check for alignment. (See setup instructions) Before installing the net and padding wipe frame clean with a clean rag.
Attach net: Description: The outer perimeter of the net is to be fully laced to both the front arch and the base of the frame. (See detail showing how to lace if unfamiliar with lacing). The net will be suspended off the center two arches, by about 6”. 1. 2. 3. 4. Cut a couple dozen 18” long cords from the roll of 1/8” black cord. Remove the net and spread it out in front of the cage. Locate the tags that call out the FRONT CORNERS, FRONT TOP and MIDDLE BACK.
8. After the net is fully laced to the front arch – from the rear of the cage, carefully raise the front arch section using two struts. 9. Locate the next reinforced section of the net (about 8’ back from the front edge) and loosely tie it in place to the 2nd arch using the temporary positioning cords. Again, start at the middle and work to either side, tying off every couple of feet. The net should hang at least 6” away from the tubing to lessen any potential ricochet. 10.
Attach skirt: (IF PURCHASED) 1. Fully raise the upper portion of the cage. 2. Attach the vinyl skirt to the top and bottom pipes of the lower frame, using the zip ties. 3. For best results, start at the center and work out to the front corners. Typical net tied to frame. Strut pipe clamps (5) to be store in between jack bracket (13).
SET-UP AND TRANSPORT Raising and Lowering the Upper Cage: NOTE: At least two people are required for the following steps. Caution: Keep body parts clear of pinch points between pipes and fittings. 1. Two struts are required to raise and support each arch. The raising of each arch must be done in tandem, with equal pressure and extension. 2. Attach one end of two struts to top front frame horizontal pipe, secure in place with a quick release pin or locking claw.
TRANSPORTING CAGE: Cage can be transported by going forward or backward. Transporting the cage should be done with 2 or 3 people. Note: Cage should only be transported in the fully folded position. Never move cage when fully raised. 1. To transport the cage fully lower the upper frame. Gather the net and baffle and secure it to the rear frame using the adjustable 6 foot strap (RP5066). 2. Raise the rear of the cage by lowering the rear wheel - rotating the jack handle clockwise.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Conduct a thorough inspection of the cage annually looking for loose bolts and nuts. Due to normal vibration during play, fasteners may work themselves loose. Tighten adequately on a regular basis to prevent injury. Apply a small amount of lithium grease to any moving parts, especially axles and wheels. If wheels have zirk fittings, you may inject grease into wheel bearings using a commercially available grease gun.
