to successfully complete the assembly. You should
only use two of the instructional sections:
1. Combo assembly, sections 1, 2 or 3, depending on your combo, i.e.,
Impact™, Fusion™ or metal-framed backboard
2. 9594 kit assembly and installation, sections 4, 5 or 6, depending on
your installation type, i.e., to a pole, a roof or a wall
You will also use the
Parts Identifi er
pages
The
Parts Identifi er
,
located at the center of this manual,
consists of four yellow pages displaying all the
parts and hardware included with both the 9594
kit and the purchased backboard & rim combo. It
can be removed from these instructions and used
as a quick reference throughout the assembly and
installation. Use the

WHAT TO EXPECT
This set of instructions explains not only how to assemble and mount the 9594 kit to a pole, roof or wall but also explains how to assemble and
mount Lifetime’s backboard & rim combo models that can go with it. Lifetime has many models but only three types of backboards:
1. Impact™—Lifetime has one type of supported, blow-molded, Impact™ backboard. The supported Lifetime® models are 3823 and
90703. The backboard will look like the one below:
2. Fusion™—Lifetime has two types of blow-molded, Fusion™ backboards: rectangular with squared corners and rectangular with rounded
corners. They look slightly dierent (only at the corners) but assemble the same way. The supported Lifetime® models are 90086,
73621 and 73650. Your backboard will look like one of the two below:
Fusion™: Squared corners (Rear view) Fusion™: Rounded corners (Rear view)
3. Metal-framed—all of Lifetime’s metal-framed backboards assemble in a similar way. The only dierences are the sizes, e.g., 50", 52",
54", etc., and that one comes with pre-assembled corner guards and the others come with frame pads to be assembled by the
customer. The supported Lifetime® models are 71526, 73729, 79910, 90010, 90087 and 90718. The backboards will look similar to
the one below:
Besides the required tools shown on the cover page, the following are needed:
1. This set of instructions
2. Lifetime® Kit 9594 (including its hardware)
3. The purchased Lifetime® backboard & rim combo (including its hardware)
4. If necessary, the appropriate hardware for mounting the kit to a roof or wall (can be obtained at a local hardware store)
What you won’t need:
1. The instructions that came with the Lifetime® backboard & rim combo. It’s necessary, however, to keep them for future reference.
They contain important information in case Customer Service must be contacted for replacement parts.
Now, let’s get started.
For an Impact™ backboard, start with section 1.
For a Fusion™ backboard, start with section 2.
For a metal-framed backboard, start with section 3.

• Locate and mark two adjacent studs in the wall where you would like the backboard to hang. For the rim to be
at regulation height, draw a horizontal line 115 5/8" (293,68 cm) from the ground. Measure up 8" (20,32 cm) from the 115 5/8"
(293,68 cm) line and draw another horizontal line parallel to the fi rst. Align the bottom of a stud bracket (ESG)
with the lower horizontal line, ensuring the long slots in the bracket align with the studs in the wall. Secure the bracket to the wall
by inserting bolts or lag screws (not included) appropriate for the wall through the long slots in the bracket.
Secure the other stud bracket to the studs in the wall, ensuring that the edge of the bracket aligns with the
upper horizontal line and that the long slots in the two brackets are aligned.
Note: the standard distance between studs is 16" apart on-center.
