Hello, I received a pin and it needs leveling. Should I start with all levelers at their lowest and then work from there until I get 6.5?

Thanks,

I use a level to make sure both sides are even, then a digital inclinometer at the middle until I get 6.5 or whatever it is I'm trying to achieve.

I love the pin guy app. The phone’s level is accurate enough and the phone has audio to command you to make adjustments as you are underneath the game.

My ceiling is so low that the backboard hits the roof so I start with the front at the lowest position and move the back up from there.

Feel free to 3d print my leveler mount if you have a 3d printer. It works well and levels left to right and back to front at the same time.

I usually thread the front levelers all the way in and then adjust the rears out to hit 6.5 ish degree pitch. Once there you may need to tweak all 4 to get level left-right.

I start with fronts all the way in and backs about 3/4 out. That’s usually close to 6.5 in my basement and then tweak it with a level measured at the flippers and further up the playfield. Left to right needs to be dialed in as well.

Wow, all good suggestions. Thank you so much.
