for safe operation of the system.
• DO NOT HANG on the rim or any part of the system
including backboard, support braces or net.
• During play, especially when performing dunk type
activities, keep player's face away from the
backboard, rim and net. Serious injury could occur if
teeth/face come in contact with backboard, rim or net.
• Do not slide, climb, shake or play on base and/or
pole.
• After assembly is complete, fill system completely
with water or sand. Never leave system in an upright
position without filling base with weight, as system
may tip over causing injuries.
• When adjusting height or moving system, keep hands
and fingers away from moving parts.
• Do not allow children to move or adjust system.
• During play, do not wear jewelry (rings, watches,
necklaces, etc.). Objects may entangle in net.
• Surface beneath the base must be smooth and free
of gravel or other sharp objects. Punctures cause
leakage and could cause system to tip over.
• Keep organic material away from pole base. Grass,
litter, etc. could cause corrosion and/or deterioration.
• Check pole system for signs of corrosion (rust,
pitting, chipping) and repaint with exterior enamel
paint. If rust has penetrated through the steel

• Check system before each use for proper ballast,
loose hardware, excessive wear and signs of
corrosion and repair before use.
• Check system before each use for instability.

weather conditions; system may tip over. Place
system in the storage position and/or in an area
protected from the wind and free from personal
property and/or overhead wires.

• When moving system, use caution to keep
mechanism from shifting.
