how does the hoop raise and lower? Is it just loosening & tightening the bolts? or is there some way to lock it into position?

With a broom, you can raise or lower the hoop. There is a spring loaded lever that clicks and then go up or down. It's very easy and fast to do. Great.

There is a little latch behind the hoop on the back of the backboard. You lever it with a broomstick and it releases so you can adjust. It auto locks about every 6 in. It is very easy. I set mine up so the top adjustment is right at 10 ft and if I want it lower I just flip the lever and pull the hoop down by the net...it makes new net installation a breeze.

You use a pole, broom stick. You have to lower it all the way and then raise it to desired height, very easy! It works great! Never had a fail even when I dunk! I'm 6'5" and 250lbs good product! Have my mounted on garage above door to brick!

To raise the board just use something like a broom stick, push up on the bottom of the frame work till you get to the desired height. To lower it use the stick and push up on the frame just enough to take the weight off of the board then use a second stick to push up on the latch , which is in the middle of the frame work toward the bottom of the frame work.

Yes, you have to lift slightly to lock it in place and then lift slightly to unlock and lower.

Yes you tighten the bolt at the bottom. What I did is tighten the bolt a lot the just switched gears for the resistance. That way I wasn't getting on and off the bike

You put sideways hoops through the up/down hoops then put the rods through the sideway hoop so it holds it in place.

The wheel is kind of low, so I can stretch with it there. You probably want to go lower than I, so yes, it just lifts up and out if needed.

No, there needs to be weight to hold the hoop up. You need to use sand or water in the base.

It's easy to move it to the position you want, then lock it in. The supplied Allen (hex) wrench does the trick for loosening/tightening all swivel points.

It does not function that way. You set it where you want it and tighten the nut and bolt for that position.

Fixed. I have an adjustable too and i don't like it. Kept coming loose. You can really bounce back off of the fixed one.

It's very easy to adjust. My 6 year old can do it. To make it raise, all you need is a broom handle or something like it and push up anywhere on the unit. To make it go down, you still use a broom handle but there is a catch lever you have to push on to release the unit.

You are able to lock it at any height. Should your load be high then you don't have to raise back up all the way.

You just twist it slightly in a clockwise motion. It should only rotate slightly as it locks. The top and bottom have these little divots in which the top can slide in and allow to lock into place.

You have to adjust the bolts on each side bit by bit, because if it's too tight it won't role.

The ball is is loosened or locked by turning the larger knob on the pedestal. Be gentle you don't have to throttle or muscle it. Counter-clockwise on the knob to loosen, clockwise to tighten.The pedestal itself can be loosened/tightened for rotation with the smaller knob that is attached to the pedestalComment: This is a simple task.Read the instructions if these efforts can not be figured out upon taking out of the box . Take 5 minutes to tinker with it before you mount your camera get angry and start throwing things; something I do not recommend :). Merry Christmas!

If you look closely at the picture, the thin object hanging off the front of the lower bracket is actually the removable "key" to adjust it with. It is a long crank handle with a loop on the end that goes over a hook on the bottom of the bracket. It cranks up and down. So, you can set it at any height within the adjustment range. It doesn't have preset height notches. Kinda nice because you can take the handle off so the kiddies can't adjust it down for a slam dunk contest when you aren't looking.

Yes, the bolt will tighten it firmly. I have to wiggle the rack around to get the bolt tightened all the way. Then the rack is solid and not wiggling at all.
