SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Most injuries are caused by misuse and/or not following instructions.
Use caution when using this system.
• If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.
• Two (2) people are recommended for this operation.
• Check base regularly for leakage. Slow leaks could cause system to tip over
unexpectedly.
• Seat the pole sections properly (if applicable). Failure to do so could allow the pole
sections to separate during play and/or transport of the system.
• Climate, corrosion or misuse could result in system failure.
• If technical assistance is required, contact the manufacturer.
• Minimum operational height is 6'6" (1.98 m) to the bottom of backboard.
• This equipment is intended for home recreational use only and NOT
excessive competitive play.
• Read and understand the warning label affixed to pole. Label is shown on page 2.
• The life of your basketball pole depends on many conditions. The climate,
placement of the pole, the location of the pole, exposure to corrosives such as
pesticides, herbicides or salts are all important.
• If technical assistance is required, contact Huffy Sports.
• Adult supervision is recommended when adjusting height.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.
Owner must ensure that all players know and follow these rules for safe
operation of the system.
To ensure safety, do not attempt to assemble this system without following the
instructions carefully. Proper and complete assembly, use and supervision is
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. Check entire box and inside all packing material for parts
and/or additional instructional material. Before beginning assembly, read the
instructions and identify parts using the hardware identifier and parts list in this
document.

WARNING
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Owner must ensure that all players know and follow
these rules 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 and stake to the ground. 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 anywhere, replace pole
immediately.
• Check system before each use for proper ballast, loose
hardware, excessive wear and signs corrosion and repair
before use.
•
Check system before each use for instability.
• Do not use system during windy and/or severe 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.
• Never play on damaged equipment.
• See instruction manual for proper installation and
maintenance.
• When moving system, use caution to keep mechanism from
shifting.
• Keep pole top covered with cap at all times.
• Do not allow water in tank to freeze. During sub-freezing
weather add non-toxic antifreeze, sand or empty tank
completely and store. (Do not use salt.)
• Use extreme caution if placing system on sloped surface.
System may tip over more easily.

IMPORTANT! MAKE
SURE NET IS HELD BY
ALL THREE HOOKS ON
THE NET CLIP.
Install net (35).

Install net clips (34) on rim
(28).
The two outer hooks on net clip must face
towards inside of goal rim. Insert larger hole
in net clip onto rim stud, push down on net
clip, then slide net clip right, locking or
snapping securely into position (clips must
"snap" into place to insure a secure fit).
NOTE: Net clips should not slide with
ease. It is very important that the net clips
are in the locked position before going on
to next step
USE OF THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT
PROPER INSTALLATION OF NET
CLIPS, OR WHEN ALL NET CLIPS
ARE NOT PRESENT COULD
RESULT IN BODILY HARM.
BE SURE TO FOLLOW
DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY.
WARNING
The Quick Clip™ rapid release net system lets the net pull away from the rim. This reduces
the risk of player injury or property damage. However, improper installation or a ball
making contact at an odd angle may disengage the net clip from the goal rim. Usually, the
clip is reinstalled with little or no problem. We hope that you agree this inconvenience is
minor when compared to the safety of the players.
