separate. If any parts are missing, call our Customer Service Department.

Test fit all Knobs/Bolts by inserting them into their respective holes. If
necessary, carefully scrape away any excess paint coating buildup from inside
the holes. Do not scrape away all of the powder/paint coating. Bare metal
may rust. You may need to pound some Bolts into place with a hammer or
mallet.

(Wall Mount
Bracket Assembly)
·
Wall Mount Bracket (1 pcs)

Lag Bolts and Washers (4 pcs 5/16x 2.5” each)
For most installations, we recommend you install the base plate so the
bottom of it is 6’ off the floor
. This should set the Volleyball height
(bottom of the Volleyball) to approximately 7’6” when the VST-400 is in
the lowest height setting and approximately the height at the top of a
girls Volleyball net.

Secure the Wall Mount Bracket
to wall
If you are mounting the VST-400 Wall Mount bracket on a concrete wall, please
ensure that your facilities personnel comply with all local building codes in regard
to attaching the Wall Mount bracket.
If you are mounting the VST-400 wall mount bracket on a hollow (non-concrete)
wall, we recommend you first mount a piece of plywood to your wall studs to
provide additional support, then mount the Wall Mount Bracket to the plywood
using the included lag bolts.
Again, please ensure your facilities personnel comply with all local building codes in
regard to securing the VST-400 Volleyball Spike Trainer to a wall at your facility.

Note:
Typically, wall studs are placed on 16”

plywood that is ¾” thick should allow you to
secure the plywood to your existing wall studs.
