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.

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.
