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

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!

There is a lever attached to the frame. The lever is slotted and is tightened with a pinch nut. Loosen the nut, adjust the frame up or down and then tighten the nut. Easy one person operation. The nut seems to hold tension. Getting the sweep adjusted to just the right height can be a job. Too high and it won't pick anything up, too low and the wheels lock up and drag along. Once I got mine adjusted just right I marked the slot with a stripe of paint.

This is correct...place the hoop that is pointing up through the block and it will stay...

There is a long pole/arm that you use to crank the hoop up and down. My boys ages 4 and 7 cannot do it themselves.

Personally when you're setting up the rim you can adjust the breakaway spring before enclosing it. I tightened the hell out of it. Also, I have an additional amount of 150 pounds sitting on the base, sandbags/cinder blocks. It sounds good and doesn't shake like it's going to fall apart. I own 5 basketballs and even with multiple shots still smooth and consistent. Like I said it depends who's setting it up and to what liking, I don't play when it comes down to building things the correct way. Good luck.

It is a trial and error process of tightening enough to hold the door up at the upper position but not too much so that the door stays down in the lowered position. Be very careful and fully secure in each 1/4 turn - it can slap you hard.

It is screwed down with two plastic clamps that are shaped like the Greek Omega. It raises and lowers easily. The only problem we have with the commode is that it's heavy, which makes moving it a little difficult.

On the little back wheels it has the adjusters to raise or lower. You pull them in wards... Hope this kinda helps it had instructions with mine.

I had the same problem. What I did is take one of the longer bolts to tighten down. That allowed me to get just enough thread for the short ones to reach then remove the longer bolt and repeat the steps.

There are 4 or 5 hooks you would attach to the rim. If you have a adjustable basketball hoop you would have to lower it or use a ladder to attach it to the rim. Overall it is pretty easy to put on.

I don't know if this will help but the raise/lower cord is 'beaded' and the roller it passes through is notched accordingly so the cord acts as its own 'lock'. Hope that helps.

There should be some bolts with locking nuts on them at the swivel joints. I have had to loosen those just a very small amount. Also I have just moved it by hand to limber it up.

There is about a 4 ft. steel handle with a loop on the end. It attaches to a hook behind the backboard. You spin the handle clockwise or counter-clockwise to raise and lower the rim.

I have had no problems at all. Raises and lowers without difficulty. I had a mechanic install mine.

you loosen a nut/bolt, set desired angle, then tighten back down. Love mine

Loosen bolts on side & adjust w/ screwdriver in front of chain. Hope this helps.
