18. Mount Goal Assembly (#28) to Backboard, as shown in
Figure 13, using four bolts (#49), four washers (#26),
and four locknuts (#4). Tighten fasteners, but leave them
loose enough to level rim.

tightened properly.DO NOT over tighten pivot points,
snug is tight enough.

mark the hole locations on the backboard frame. See Figure
13 and Detail A.
Note: Screws (#77), used in step 24, are Self Drilling
screws and can be installed without drilling pilot holes.
However, it will be easier to install screws if you drill
9/64" pilot holes. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES if drilling holes.

Detail A. Do not drill through both sides of
backboard tube frame.
Note: Cordless drill recommended for screw installation.

Note: To install screws, it will be easier if you use a
cordless drill with 5/16" socket (instead of Phillips head).
