BEFORE YOU START!

To ensure optimal playability of backboard system, a close tolerance fit between the elevator

components and hardware is required. Test-fit large bolts into large holes of elevator tubes,

backboard brackets, and triangle plates. Carefully rock them in a circular motion to ream out

any excess paint from holes if necessary.

AVANT DE COMMENCER !

Pour garantir l'utilisation optimale du panneau, les composants du système élévateur et la visserie doivent être bien

ajustés (serrés). À titre d'essai, insérez les gros boulons dans les gros trous des tubes du système élévateur, des supports

du panneau et des plaques triangulaires. Basculez-les avec précaution en imprimant un mouvement circulaire pour

éliminer l'excédent de peinture, si nécessaire.

¡ANTES DE COMENZAR!

Para asegurar el óptimo rendimiento del sistema del respaldo en el juego, se requiere un ajuste de tolerancia estrecha
entre los componentes del elevador y el herraje. Pruebe el ajuste de los pernos grandes en los orificios grandes de los

tubos elevadores, soportes del respaldo y placas triangulares. Cuidadosamente muévalos en círculos para eliminar

cualquier exceso de pintura, si es necesario.

VORBEREITENDE MASSNAHMEN

Um sicherzustellen, dass das Korbwandsystem optimal für den Spielbetrieb geeignet ist, müssen die Komponenten der

Verlängerungsvorrichtung und die verschiedenen Befestigungsteile fest miteinander verschraubt werden. Große Schrauben

zur Probe in die großen Löcher der Verlängerungsrohre, Korbwandklammern und Dreiecksplatte stecken und diese

vorsichtig in einer Kreisbewegung hin- und herbewegen, um eventuelle Farbrückstände aus den Bohrungen zu entfernen.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

• 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.

• 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
to the right.

• The life of your basketball pole depends on many conditions: climate,
placement of pole, the location of pole, exposure to corrosives such as
pesticides, herbicides or salts. These are all important factors.

• If technical assistance is required, contact Huffy Sports.

• Adult supervision is recommended when adjusting height.
