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. 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!

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.

Only hang from the rim briey to regain balance or avoid injuring

others. Release the rim as soon as safely possible.

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 the backboard, rim, or net. Player should wear a mouth guard during play.

Do not slide, climb, or play on base or pole. Completely ll base according to manufacturer ’s instructions.

Never leave the unit standing in an upright position without rst lling the base with weight or the system will tip quickly causing

serious personal injury.

When adjusting height or moving system, keep hands and ngers

away from moving parts.

Do not allow children to move or adjust system. Do not wear jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc.) during play.

Objects may entangle in net.

Keep organic material away from pole base. Grass, litter, etc. could

cause corrosion and/or deterioration.

• 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 la base o el poste.

• Llene la base completamente siguiendo las instrucciones del

fabricante. Nunca deje la unidad en posición de uso sin haber llenado previamente la base con material de contrapeso, pues el sistema podría tumbarse rápidamente y causar graves lesiones

personales.

• Mantenga las manos y los dedos alejados de las piezas movibles

cuando regule la altura o desplace el sistema.

• No deje que los niños regulen ni desplacen el sistema.

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

durante el juego. Estos objetos pueden engancharse en la red.

• La supercie donde se coloque la base debe estar lisa y

desprovista de piedras, grava u otros objetos. Las perforaciones pueden originar pérdidas, y éstas pueden hacer que el sistema se tumbe.

• 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

esté adecuadamente contrapesado, 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 en presencia de vientos fuertes o condiciones

climáticas adversas, ya que puede tumbarse. Coloque la unidad en su posición de almacenamiento y/o en una zona a resguardo

del viento, lejos de propiedades personales que puedan dañarse

si el sistema se cae, y de líneas de suministro de energía.

• 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.

• Remplissez complètement la base selon les instructions du fabricant. Ne laissez jamais l’unité debout de plein pied sans avoir d’abord rempli la base avec un poids ou l’équipement pourrait basculer rapidement et causer de graves blessures.

• Lorsque vous ajustez la hauteur ou lorsque vous déplacez l’équipement, gardez vos mains et doigts loin des pièces mobiles.

• Ne permettez pas aux enfants de déplacer ou d’ajuster l’équipement.

• Ne portez pas de bijoux (bagues, montres, colliers, etc.) lorsque vous jouez. Ces objets pourraient s’accrocher au let.

• La surface sur laquelle est posée la base doit être lisse et sans gravier ou tout autre objet qui pourrait trouer la base entraînant ainsi une fuite ce qui pourrait faire basculer l’équipement.

• La base ne doit pas non plus être posée sur aucun type de matière organique. L’herbe, les déchets, etc. peuvent entraîner la corrosion et la détérioration de l’équipement.

• 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 lors de fortes rafales de vent ou de mauvais temps. L’équipement pourrait basculer. Placez l’équipement dans un endroit abrité du vent ou loin des structures qu’il pourrait endommager s’il basculait et loin des ls électriques.

• 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.
