SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

Use caution when using this system.

• If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.

• Two (2) people are recommended for this operation.

• Seat the pole sections properly. Failure to do so could allow the pole sections to separate during play.

• Before digging, contact utility company to locate underground power cables, gas, and water lines. Ensure there are no overhead power lines within 20 ft. (7 m) radius of pole location.

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

• If technical assistance is required, contact Huffy Sports.

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

• This equipment is intended for home recreational use only and NOT excessive competitive play.

• Read and understand the warning label affixed to pole. Label is shown on page 6.

• The life of your basketball pole depends on many conditions. The climate, placement of the pole, the location of the pole, exposure to corrosives such as pesticides, herbicides or salts are all important.

• Adult supervision is recommended when adjusting height.

• Serious injury could occur if teeth/face come in contact with backboard, net, or rim.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN

SERIOUS INJURY, 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. Proper and complete assembly, use and supervision is essential for proper operation 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. Check entire box and inside all packing material for parts and/or additional instructional material. Before beginning assembly, read the instructions and identify parts using the hardware identifier and parts list in this document.

For more information on assembly, placement, proper use and maintenance, visit The American Basketball Council website at http://www.smarthoops.com.

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.

AVANT DE COMMENCER !

Pour garantir l'utilisation optimale du panneau, les composants du système élévateur et la visserie doivent être bien

ajustés (serrés). À titre d'essai, insérez les gros boulons dans les gros trous des tubes du système élévateur, des supports

du panneau et des plaques triangulaires. Basculez-les avec précaution en imprimant un mouvement circulaire pour

éliminer l'excédent de peinture, si nécessaire.

¡ANTES DE COMENZAR!

Para asegurar el óptimo rendimiento del sistema del respaldo en el juego, se requiere un ajuste de tolerancia estrecha

entre los componentes del elevador y el herraje. Pruebe el ajuste de los pernos grandes en los orificios grandes de los

tubos elevadores, soportes del respaldo y placas triangulares. Cuidadosamente muévalos en círculos para eliminar

cualquier exceso de pintura, si es necesario.

VORBEREITENDE MASSNAHMEN

Um sicherzustellen, dass das Korbwandsystem optimal für den Spielbetrieb geeignet ist, müssen die Komponenten der

Verlängerungsvorrichtung und die verschiedenen Befestigungsteile fest miteinander verschraubt werden. Große Schrauben

zur Probe in die großen Löcher der Verlängerungsrohre, Korbwandklammern und Dreiecksplatte stecken und diese

vorsichtig in einer Kreisbewegung hin- und herbewegen, um eventuelle Farbrückstände aus den Bohrungen zu entfernen.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT

IN SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Owner must ensure that all players know and follow

these rules for safe operation of the system.

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

• 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 pole.

• When adjusting height, 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.

• 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 the 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.

• Keep pole top covered with cap at all times.

• See instruction manual for proper installation.

USE OF THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT

PROPER INSTALLATION OF NET

CLIPS, OR WHEN ALL NET CLIPS

ARE NOT PRESENT COULD

RESULT IN BODILY HARM. BE

SURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS

CAREFULLY.

Install net clips (34).

WARNING

The Quick Clip™ rapid release net system lets the net pull away from the rim. This reduces the risk of player injury or property damage. However, improper installation or a ball making contact at an odd angle may disengage the net clip from the goal rim. Usually, the clip is reinstalled with little or no problem. We hope that you agree this inconvenience is minor when compared to the safety of the players. Quick Clip: US Patent No. 5,792,010/5,795,253

OUTSIDE VIEW

The two outer hooks on net clip must face towards inside of goal rim. Insert larger hole in net clip onto rim stud, push down on net clip, then slide net clip right, locking or snapping securely into position (clips must "snap" into place to insure a secure fit).

NOTE: Net clips should not slide with ease. It is very important that the net clips are in the locked position before going on to next step.
