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.

•

•

While moving system, do not allow anyone to stand or sit on base or have added ballasting on base.

•

Do not leave system unsupervised or play on system when wheels are engaged for moving.

•
