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 base and/or pole.
• After assembly is complete, fill system completely with
water or sand and stake to the ground. Never leave system
in an upright position without filling base with weight, as
system may tip over causing injuries.
• When adjusting height or moving system, 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.
• 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.
• 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 pole 
immediately.
• Check system before each use for proper ballast, loose
hardware, excessive wear and signs corrosion and repair
before use.
• Check system before each use for instability.
• Do not use system during windy and/or severe weather 
conditions; system may tip over. Place system in the 
storage position and/or in an area protected from the wind
and free from personal property and/or overhead wires.
• Never play on damaged equipment.
• See instruction manual for proper installation and 
maintenance.
• When moving system, use caution to keep mechanism from
shifting.

• Do not allow water in tank to freeze. During sub-freezing
weather add non-toxic antifreeze, sand or empty tank 
completely and store. (Do not use salt.)
• 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.
• Use Caution when moving system across uneven surfaces.
