### 1. Preparation & Site Selection
- Choose a flat, solid ground with enough space (recommended clear area: 6m × 8m).
- Avoid underground cables, water pipes and weak soil.
- Prepare tools: shovel, level, tape measure, concrete mixer, wrench, etc.
### 2. Foundation Pit Digging
- Dig a square or circular pit according to the product manual.
- Standard size: about **500×500×500 mm ~ 600×600×600 mm**
- Keep the bottom flat and compact the soil firmly.
### 3. Place the Embedded Sleeve / Pole Base
- Put the embedded part into the pit.
- Use a **level** to check verticality in two directions.
- Fix it to avoid shifting during pouring.
### 4. Concrete Pouring
- Use **C25 or higher reinforced concrete**.
- Pour evenly and tamp to prevent hollow gaps.
- Keep the embedded part vertical and at the correct height.
- Curing time: **3–7 days** (do not load during this period).
### 5. Assemble the Main Pole
- After concrete fully solidifies, install the main pillar.
- Tighten all bolts firmly according to torque requirements.
- Check verticality again.
### 6. Install Backboard & Rim
- Mount the backboard bracket, backboard, and hoop in sequence.
- Adjust to standard rim height: **3.05m** above the ground.
- Ensure the backboard is vertical and the rim is horizontal.
### 7. Final Inspection
- Check all fasteners are tight.
- Test stability by gently pushing the pole.
- Clean the site and complete installation.
### Important Safety Notes (Haoran Standard)
