9 Install the End Fittings & Uprights
Follow the steps below to install the end fittings and uprights. (See Figure 7)
9.1
Preliminary Installation of First Upright and End Fitting
1. Insert one end fitting into one end of the crossbar.
a. It is recommended that you lubricate the end fitting and the inside of the
crossbar.
2. Rotate end fitting such that the upright insert is pointing downward at about a
45-degree angle.
3. Lift one upright over the upright insert on the end fitting.
4. Install a 1/2”-13 x 5-inch bolt, a 1/2” washer and 1/2"-13 nut in through the
upright and pre-drilled hole in the upright insert.
5. Rotate the end fitting until the upright is vertical.
6. Verify that end fitting is completely inserted into crossbar.
a. Use a rubber mallet if necessary to ensure that the end fitting is inserted
completely.
7. Plumb the upright/end fitting in two directions: front to back (perpendicular to
goal line) and side to side (parallel to goal line).
a. Use the two set screws in the upright to adjust and maintain the plumb
of the upright in the direction parallel to the goal line (DO NOT DRILL
HOLE IN UPRIGHT INSERT YET).
8. Drill a 1/2” hole in end fitting using the hole in the crossbar closest to the
gooseneck as a guide.
a. Use of a 17/32” transfer punch to center hole is strongly recommended.
b. It is recommended that you pilot the hole with a 3/16” bit, step up to a
3/8” bit and finish with a 1/2” bit.
c. To ensure proper alignment of holes, do not try to drill all the way
through both faces of end fitting at once. Instead drill from each side of
end fitting and check for plumb after each drilling operation.
9. Insert a 1/2”-13 x 7.5-inch-long hex head bolt through the hole in the crossbar
and end fitting. Install two 1/2-inch washers and 1/2”-13 nut and tighten.
