SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.
The owner must ensure that all players know and follow these rules for the safe operation of the system. To ensure safety, do not attempt to assemble this system without following the instructions carefully. Check the entire box and inside all packing material for parts and/or additional instruction material. Before beginning assembly, read the instructions and identify parts using the hardware identifier and parts list in this manual. Proper and complete assembly, use, and supervision are essential for proper operation and to reduce the risk of accident or injury. A high probability of serious injury exists if this system is not installed, maintained, and operated properly.
- If using a ladder (not recommended) during assembly, use extreme caution.
- Check the base regularly for leakage. Slow leaks could cause the system to tip over unexpectedly.
- Two (2) or more capable adults are recommended for this operation.
- Seat the pole sections properly (if applicable). Failure to do so could allow the pole sections to separate during play and/or during transport of the system.
- Adult supervision is recommended when adjusting the height of the backboard.
- Climate, corrosion, or misuse could result in system failure.
- Minimum operational height is 6’6” (1.98m) to the bottom of the backboard.
- Read and understand the warning label affixed to the pole.

- Keep water and organic material away from the pole. The Pole can rust and fall.
- Once a month, check the pole system for signs of corrosion (rust, pitting, chipping) and repaint with exterior enamel paint. If rust has penetrated through the steel anywhere, replace the pole immediately.
- Always check the system before each use for proper ballast, loose hardware, excessive wear, and signs of corrosion and repair before each use.
- Check the system before each use for instability.
- Do not use the system during windy and/or severe weather conditions; the system may tip over. Place the system in the storage position and/or in an area protected from the wind and free from personal property and/or overhead wires that may be damaged if the system fails.
- Never play on damaged equipment.

PLACEMENT/MOVEMENT OF THE UNIT
For safety reasons, we strongly recommend to have at least two capable adults to move the unit.
- Adjust the unit to its lowest position and lock in place to prevent the height mechanism from adjusting.
- Standing in front of the unit, pull the pole down until unit is balanced on the 2 wheels.
- Move the unit to the desired location and carefully lower unit back down.
Caution:
The unit must only be moved when balanced on the wheels sliding the unit. Any
other way may cause damage to the base and could result in sand leakage and/or
the unit tipping over.
For the correct placement of the unit, we recommend the following steps
- Place the unit on a flat and stable surface, beneath the base must be smooth and free of gravel or other sharp objects.
- Ensure a clearance of at least 2 meters around and above the perimeter of the unit. Please ensure that no hazardous objects or structures are near the unit such as buildings, electrical power wiring, walls, fences, etc.
- Punctures cause leakage and could cause the system to tip over.
If you do not follow these guidelines, you increase the risk of someone getting injured.
POLE CARE AND SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The life of your basketball system depends on many variables. The climate, exposure to corrosives such as salt, pesticides or herbicides, and excessive use, or misuse can all contribute to pole failure, which may cause property damage and/or personal injury. Check your basketball system frequently for loose hardware, excessive wear, and signs of corrosion. For safety reasons, and to prolong the life of your basketball system, you must take the following preventative measures:
- Check all nuts and bolts for tightness and tighten when required.
- Check all parts of excessive wear and tear. If necessary, replace any parts that have been worn or damaged through usage.
- Do not use detergent products to care for the system. Wash with clear or soapy water.
- Check all coverings and sharp edges and replace them when required.
- Check all poles for visible rust, chips, or cracked paint. If either is present, do the following:
- Use an emery cloth to completely remove any rust or chipped paint.
- Clean the area with a damp cloth and allow it to dry.
- Spray two coats of rust-preventative, high-gloss enamel paint on the area.
IF RUST HAS PENETRATED THROUGH THE POLE ANYWHERE, REPLACE THE POLE IMMEDIATELY!
