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.

NOTE: Not all items pictured are included with every model.

• DO NOT HANG on the rim or any part of the system including backboard, support braces, or net.

• During play, especially when peforming 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 the 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 materials 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 of corrosion; 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 covered with cap at all times.

•

Do not allow water in tank to freeze. During sub-

freezing weather add 2 gallons of non-toxic antifreeze, sand or empty tank completely and store. (Do not use

salt.)

• Use extreme caution if placing system on a sloped surface. System may tip over more easily.

Owner must ensure that all players know and follow these

rules for safe operation of the system.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR

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. Check entire box and inside all packing material for parts and/or additional instruction material.

• Climate, corrosion or misuse could result in system failure.

• If technical assistance is required, contact Customer Service.

• Minimum operational height is 6'-6" (1.98m) to the bottom of backboard.

Most injuries are caused by misuse and/or not following instructions.

Use caution when using this unit.
