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.

NOTE: Not all items pictured are included with every model.

•

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 base and/or pole.

•

After assembly is complete, fill system completely with water or sand. Never leave system in an upright position without filling base with weight, as system may tip over causing injuries.

•

Do not allow children to move or adjust system.

•

During play, do not wear jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc.). Objects may entangle in net.

•

Surface beneath the base must be smooth and free of gravel or other sharp objects. Punctures cause leakage and could cause system to tip over.

•

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.
