6 Install the Ground Standard
Use of a ground sleeve allows the goalpost to be removed at a later date if necessary.
The MAX-1 may be ordered with a 60-1/4-inch tall ground sleeve (FBSLV8)or, if you
ordered the height adjuster, a taller 63-1/2-inch ground sleeve(FBGPGS-8).
Installation in either case is similar except for the depth of the footing.
IMPORTANT: MEASURE GROUND SLEEVE BEFORE CONTINUING WITH
INSTALLATION TO ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE THE CORRECT MODEL FOR YOUR
INSTALLATION (SEE Figure 3):
Alternatively, the MAX-1 may be permanently installed without a ground sleeve. For
installation without a ground sleeve skip ahead to Section 9.
Note: Use the dimensions in Figure 5 if you are installing the standard ground sleeve.
Use the dimensions in Figure 6 if you are installing the taller ground sleeve that comes
with the height adjuster.
Key points you must remember when installing the ground sleeves:
 The top of the standard ground sleeve must be exactly 8 inches below the
ground level to obtain the correct cross bar height.
 You must install the ground sleeves so they will center the goosenecks at
the points determined in Section 5.
 Use the footing hole requirements as a guide. You should consult local
codes and examine soil conditions to determine final depth and size. A 36-inch
diameter footing hole is an absolute minimum and you should not use a smaller
footing hole. Larger diameter footing holes are acceptable.
 Consider the turf to be the ground level.
NOTE: The dimensions provided account for the deflection of the gooseneck under the
weight of the crossbar and uprights.
Installation Steps
Follow these steps to install the ground sleeves at each end of the playing field.
