How to Use This Manual
This manual covers installation of all Draper EZ-Fold
®
wall-mounted
back stops, and is designed to be used in conjunction with project
drawings. Project draw ings show clamp num bers and positions for
each backstop. Begin at step 1, the top, and work your way down, fol-
lowing instructions for clamps provided for each speci c installation.
Use your project draw ings, which will tell you everything from exact
locations to what clamps to use. If the drawing is to scale, the scale
can always be found at the bottom of the drawing.
Dimensions are referenced from Face of Bank, Center Line of Court
or Center of Clamp. Refer to project drawings for dimensions.
Remember to account for offset dimensions (Center of Clamp to
Edge of Clamp) when marking beams for clamp placement.
Prior to assembly, distribute parts to the correct backstop locations;
make sure you have the proper parts for each backstop lo ca tion.
All Draper Gymnasium Equipment is supplied with Grade 5 hard-
ware. Clamps are designed to be installed with the nuts and bolts
tight. Draper would consider tight to be torques between 40 ft-lbs
and 60 ft-lbs.
These instructions are meant as a guide only. They do not bind
Draper, Inc. in any way and do not imply any re spon si bil i ty of Draper,
Inc. for improper installation or faulty workmanship at the jobsite.
Caution
When laying out parts, be careful not to place them where
they may be in the way of scaffolding, lifts, or working areas.
Before beginning assembly, locate and identify all parts using
hardware list and project drawings.
Backstops must be installed level and plumb.
Make sure power is disconnected before wiring winches.
Do not install damaged or defective parts.
For warranty information, consult separate information sheet.
When calling Draper, Inc., with questions, please have your
order number, and, if possible, project drawing that was pro-
vided with your backstop.
Have architect/general contractor verify backstop and
court line locations prior to beginning installation.
Installation Tips
When possible, install bolts with heads toward oor (threads up), or
with heads toward front (threads facing rear of backstop).
Operation
On wall-mounted folding models (DGW and DUW), make sure the
walls are cleared of any obstructions to proper operation.
Make sure manual winches are located close to backstop, or at
least in a position that allows the operator to see the backstop be-
ing raised or lowered.
Winches should be operated by quali ed personnel. Locate winches
where they are not easily reached, and keep manual or portable
electric operators secured when not in use.
Use winches only for their original purpose; if equipment changes
are necessary, contact Draper, Inc.
If you encounter a problem during installation or operation of your
backstop, contract Draper, Inc. immediately.
Make sure wall is strong enough to support backstops.
Maintenance/Inspection
NOTE: EZ-Fold
®
backstops by Draper, Inc., are designed to operate
for many years with a minimum of main te nance. However, you should
periodically inspect your wall-mounted back stops to ensure they
are in good repair and operating properly. Check backstops at least
twice a year, depending on amount of use. You will nd on page 7 a
maintenance checklist. Detach, make copies, and hang this list in a
convenient location to help keep track of in spec tions and repairs. If
you encounter problems, or need to replace any parts, contact your
dealer or Drap er, Inc.
Wall/Wood Pads
Check wall inside and out for cracks, crumbling mortar, or other
signs of damage.
Make sure wood wall pads are not pulling away from the wall.
Inspect wall pads for splits, chips, or other signs of damage or
excessive wear. Make sure they are still strongly anchored, and that
there has been no slippage.
Check hardware attachments to wood wall pads. Make sure there is
no corrosion, and that all attachments are still tight.
Legs/Braces/Supports
Inspect chain supports for corrosion, cracks, links pulling apart, or
other signs of damage or excessive wear.
Make sure chain swivels operate smoothly, and that they have not
been bent out of shape.
Check leg attachments for DGW and DUW. Make sure they are not
bent, and that the legs operate smoothly.
Inspect brace and leg attachments for SW and SWD models.
Make sure they are still tightly attached, and there is no movement
up and down or side-to-side.
Check telescoping cross-brace on DGW; make sure spring-loaded
locking mechanism is functioning properly.
Make sure legs are still level, and that there are no cracks, dents,
or bends. Also check for cor ro sion.
Winches
Examine cable drum on winch for excessive wear or looseness.
Ensure cable is wrapping correctly, and that stacking (cable wrap-
ping unevenly in layers) does not occur.
Inspect manual winch adaptor and socket on hand or electric
operator for excessive wear (round ing of edges).
Check safety lock to make sure it keeps Manual Winch Adaptor in
place. EZ-Fold Basketball Backstops by DraperWall-Mounted

Cable Run
Check cable sheaves for excessive wear or looseness. Make sure
cable is still passing properly through the sheave.
Inspect cable clamps for tightness; Make sure there is no slippage.
Check aircraft cable for fraying. (Hint: One way to do this is by run-
ning an oily rag along the aircraft cable. The rag will snag on frays;
it will also lubricate the cable.) If fraying is encountered, contact
your dealer or Draper, Inc. for re place ment. Caution: Wear gloves
when searching for frays.
Backstop/Accessories
Inspect backstop legs and frame. Make sure all bolts and clamps
are tight and have not shifted. Check for cracks, corrosion, or other
signs of damage or excessive wear.
Make sure Side Braces are still at proper length.
Check Height Adjuster for loose clamps, or binding that keeps it
from operating correctly.
Lubricate Inner Tubes of Height Adjusters with petroleum jelly.
Inspect bank and goal for cracks or bending. Also make sure top of
rim is still 10' above the oor, and level.
Check padding for tears, missing pieces, or loose sections. Re-glue
if
necessary.
Winch Attachment/Wiring
Mounting Winch on a Flat Surface
Four

" dia. holes are provided for mounting. Fastener type and

size required varies according to mounting surface but must be

able to safely sustain all loads imposed by the backstop.
DO NOT USE LONG EXTENSION CORDS TO POWER THE WINCH.
USE A MINIMUM OF 14/3 GAUGE MAXIMUM 100 FT WHILE
INITIALLY CON NECT ING THE WINCH DURING INSTALLATION
PERIOD. RUNNING THE WINCH UNDER BAD POWER-VOLTAGE
CONDITIONS WILL RESULT IN OVER HEAT ING AND DAMAGE TO
THE CAPACITORS.
Please Note: Winch limit switches are pre-wired at the factory. Do not
test-run the winch with limit switches bypassed: This may cause over-
travel of the limit mechanism and result in damage to winch.
Cable Installation (see Fig. W-2)
The winch is designed for standard ¼" diameter 7 x 19 aircraft cable
and has a hollow drum, which makes cable attachment simple and
reliable. The cable passes through a hole in the drum and is prevented
from pulling out by doubling the end back on itself and securing with a
standard cable clamp.
Jog winch to bring wire cable mounting hole in winch drum to top.
Pass wire cable end from outside winch in through
