SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS 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. Before beginning
assembly, read the instructions and identify parts using the hardware identifier and parts list in this document.
Proper and complete assembly, use and supervision are essential for proper orientation 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.
• If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.
• Three capable adults are recommended for this operation.
• Assemble the pole sections properly. Failure to do so could cause the pole sections
to separate during play.
• Before digging, contact utility company to locate underground power cables, gas,
and water lines. Ensure that there are no overhead power lines within 20 ft. (7m)
radius of pole location.
• Minimum operational height is 7’6” (2,23m) to the rim.
Most injuries are caused by misuse and/or not following instructions. Use caution when using
this system.
POLE SECTION IDENTIFICATION
Identify the pole sections before beginning assembly. Failure to assemble the pole sections
correctly may result in severe personal injury or property damage as described on Page One.
ONCE THE POLE SECTIONS HAVE BEEN SEATED, THEY CANNOT BE SEPARATED.
TP
Top Pole:
Four holes at the top of
the pole, four holes in
the middle, two holes
near the bottom and
one small hole at the
bottom.
MP BP
Middle Pole:
One slot at the top of
the pole and one small
hole at the bottom.
Warning Sticker.
Bottom Pole:
One slot at the top of the
pole and a bent edge
at the bottom. Shortest
pole.
For a nonpermanent installation of your basketball system, a Ground Sleeve provides an alternative to
cementing the pole into the ground. See Page 14 for more information.
2.1 Mix 5 1/2 bags of concrete, following the directions on the concrete bags.
2
Keep in mind that a thicker mix of concrete will dry stronger.
5
1.1 Dig a round hole 24” deep and
1
18” in diameter. The edge of the hole
should be flush with the edge of the playing
surface.
18”
24”
3.1 The slots in the Bottom Pole must be parallel
3
to the playing surface. If necessary, insert a straight
object (a ruler, wire, etc.) through the slots in the Bottom
Pole. Rotate the pole until the straight object is parallel to
the playing surface.
Note: Form the cement into a downward slope away from
the pole to allow water runoff. Failure to do so may result in
premature rusting of the pole.
14.5”
1.2 Make a mark 14.5” up from
the dimpled end of the Bottom Pole
(BP) (do not scratch the powder
BP
Playing
Surface
coating).
Important: Save a 1/2 bag of concrete mix to use later in the assembly.
2.2 Fill the hole to the top with concrete.
2.3 Insert the dimpled end of the Bottom Pole into
the cement up to the 14.5” mark and 4” away
from the playing surface.
Warning: If the pole is buried too deep or too shallow, the
Rim will not be at the correct height.
Important: Do not continue until the concrete has set for 1-4 hours.
5.1 Remove the straight object from the top of the pole.
5
5.2 Mix the remaining 1/2 bag of concrete and pour the concrete into
the Bottom Pole until it is just below the slots in the top of the pole.
Important: Do not overfill the pole, or you may not be able to assemble the rest
of the pole sections.
5.3 Tamp the concrete down in the Bottom Pole with a broom handle
to remove any air pockets.
5.4 Clean all excess concrete off the outside surface of the pole.
4.1 Place the 1/2” x 3’ rebar (not included) inside the Bottom Pole (BP).
4
4.2 Check the pole several times within the first hour to
make sure that all sides are vertical and that the pole does
not sink into the concrete. The 14.5” mark must remain
level with the playing surface.
Important: Allow 1-4 hours for the concrete to set.
Rebar
STOP!
The concrete must cure for at least 72 hours (3 days) before installing the rest of the
system. In humid climates or wet weather, allow additional time for the concrete to
cure. Do not proceed until the curing process is complete.
