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 identier 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.

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 dimpled end at the bottom.

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.

1.1 Dig a round hole 24” deep and

18” in diameter. The edge of the

hole should be ush with the edge of the

playing surface.

18”

1.2 Make a mark 14.5” up from

the dimpled end of the Bottom Pole (BP) (do not scratch the

powder coating).

2.1 Mix 5 1/2 bags of concrete, following the directions on the concrete

bags. Keep in mind that a thicker mix of concrete will dry stronger.

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.

24”

3.1 The slots in the Bottom Pole must be parallel

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.

4.1 Place the 1/2” x 3’ rebar (not included) inside the Bottom Pole

(BP).

4.2 Check the pole several times within the rst 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.

14.5”

Playing Surface

Rebar

4”

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.

5.2 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 overll 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.

Important: Allow 1-4 hours for the concrete to set.

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.

POLE CARE AND SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

The life of your basketball system depends on many variables. The climate, exposure to corrosives

such as salt, pesticides, or herbicides, and excessive use or misuse can all contribute to pole failure, which may cause property damage or personal injury.

Check your basketball system frequently for loose hardware, excessive wear, and signs of corrosion.

For safety reasons, and to prolong the life of your basketball system, you must take the following

preventive measures. a. Check all Nuts and Bolts. If any are loose, tighten them. b. Check all parts for excessive wear and tear. If necessary, replace any parts that have been worn

or damaged through usage. Check the Pole Cap for cracks or tears that could let water into the

pole. Contact our Customer Service Department for replacement parts. c. Inspect the Warning Sticker on the pole. If it is ripped, faded, or illegible, call our Customer

Service Department to request a replacement Sticker. d. Check all pole sections for visible rust or chipped or cracked paint. If either are present, do the

following:

1. Use an emery cloth to completely remove any rust or chipped paint.

2. Clean the area with a damp cloth and allow it to dry.

3. Apply two coats of a rust preventative, high gloss enamel paint to the area. Allow the paint

to dry between coats.

IF RUST HAS PENETRATED THROUGH THE POLE ANYWHERE, REPLACE IT

IMMEDIATELY!

FAUTE DE NE PAS SUIVRE CES AVERTISSEMENTS,

VOUS RISQUEZ DE CAUSER DES BLESSURES

GRAVES ET/OU DES DOMMAGES À L’ÉQUIPEMENT.

SI NO SE OBEDECEN ESTAS ADVERTENCIAS

PUEDEN PRODUCIRSE GRAVES LESIONES Y/O

DAÑOS A LA PROPIEDAD.

Le propriétaire doit s’assurer que tous les joueurs

connaissent et appliquent les règles suivantes an

d’utiliser l’équipement en toute sécurité.

WARNING

El propietario del sistema debe asegurarse de que

todos los jugadores conozcan y respeten estas reglas

para que el sistema se use en forma segura.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY

RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY

DAMAGE.

Owners must ensure that all players know and follow

these rules for safe operation of the system.

• Cuélguese del aro sólo en forma breve, para recuperar el

equilibrio o evitar lesionar a otros jugadores. Suéltese del

aro lo más pronto que pueda hacerlo con seguridad.

• Durante el juego, especialmente al embocar violentamente

de alto, la cara de los jugadores debe mantenerse alejada

del tablero, el aro y la red. Pueden producirse lesiones

graves si los dientes o la cara entran en contacto con

el tablero, el aro o la red. Los jugadores deben usar un

protector bucal durante el juego.

• No se deslice, no trepe ni juegue sobre el poste.

• Mantenga las manos y los dedos alejados de las piezas

movibles cuando regule la altura del sistema.

• No deje que los niños regulen el sistema.

• No use joyas (anillos, relojes, collares o gargantillas, etc.)

durante el juego. Estos objetos pueden engancharse en la

red.

• No permita que la base del poste entre en contacto con

materiales orgánicos. El pasto, los desechos animales, etc.,

pueden causar corrosión y/o deterioros.

• Controle el poste y todas las piezas metálicas una vez al

mes en busca de signos visibles de corrosión (oxidación,

picaduras, escamado). Elimine todo rastro de óxido y

vuelva a pintar con esmalte para exteriores. Si el óxido ha

penetrado cualquier pieza de acero, reemplace esa pieza

de inmediato.

• Inspeccione el sistema antes de cada uso para vericar

que los elementos de jación no estén ojos, que no haya

desgaste excesivo, inestabilidad ni signos de corrosión.

Si encuentra irregularidades, repárelas antes de usar el

sistema.

• Nunca juegue con un equipo dañado.

• No use el sistema para levantar ningún objeto. El

mecanismo está diseñado para elevar solamente el peso

del tablero con el aro. No cuelgue nada de la agarradera, el

aro, el tablero ni los brazos de elevación, ya que esto puede

dañar el sistema y anular la garantía.

•Ne vous suspendez pas à l’anneau plus que nécessaire

pour retrouver votre équilibre ou éviter de blesser les autres

joueurs. Relâchez l’anneau aussitôt que possible.

• Lors d’un match, particulièrement dans le cas des smashs,

le visage du joueur ne doit pas faire face au panneau, à

l’anneau, ni au let. Le joueur risque de graves blessures si

ses dents ou son visage entrent en contact avec le panneau,

l’anneau, ou le let. Les joueurs doivent toujours porter un

protège-dents lorsqu’ils jouent.

• Ne glissez pas, ne grimpez pas, et ne jouez pas sur la base

ou le poteau.

• Lorsque vous ajustez la hauteur ou l’équipement, gardez

vos mains et doigts loin des pièces mobiles.

• N’autorisez pas les enfants à ajuster l’équipement.

• Ne portez pas de bijoux (bagues, montres, colliers, etc.)

lorsque vous jouez. Ces objets pourraient s’accrocher au

let.

• Gardez la base du poteau libre de toute matière organique.

L’herbe, les déchets, etc. peuvent la corroder et la

détériorer.

• Une fois par mois, vériez que le poteau et toutes les pièces

en métal ne montrent pas de signes de corrosion (rouille,

piqûres, écaillage). Enlevez toute la rouille et repeignez

complètement avec une peinture pour extérieur. Si la rouille

a pénétré une des pièces en acier, vous devrez remplacer

immédiatement la pièce en question.

• A chaque fois que vous allez utiliser l’équipement, vériez

d’abord l’équilibre, la possibilité de pièces desserrées ou

usées, la stabilité de l’équipement et tout signe de corrosion

ou réparation nécessaire avant utilisation.

• Ne jouez jamais avec un équipement endommagé.

• N’utilisez pas l’équipement pour lever ou soulever quoique

ce soit. Son mécanisme a été conçu uniquement pour

soutenir le poids du panneau et de l’anneau. N’accrochez

rien au manche, à l’anneau, au panneau ni aux leviers sous

peine d’endommager l’équipement et d’annuler la garantie.
