•

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.

•

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 of corrosion and repair before use.

•

Check system before each use for instability.

•

•

Never play on damaged equipment.

•

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

•

Keep pole top covered with cap at all times.

•

•

While moving system, do not allow anyone to stand or sit on base or have added ballasting on base.

•

Do not leave system unsupervised or play on system when wheels are engaged for moving.

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.

Not all items pictured are included with every model.
