WARNING

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

unit.

• Do not dunk on this unit.
• Do not hang from any part of the unit, including the backboard, rim,

or net.

• Do not slide, climb, or play on base and/or pole.
• Surface beneath the base must be smooth and free of gravel or

other sharp objects. Punctures cause leakage and could cause
unit to tip over.

• After assembly is complete, fill system completely with water or

sand. Never leave unit in an upright position without filling base
with weight, as unit may tip over causing injuries.

• Keep organic material away from pole base. Grass, litter, etc. could

cause corrosion and/or deterioration.

• Check pole system twice a year for signs of corrosion (rust, pitting,

chipping). Remove rust and/or loose paint completely and repaint
with exterior enamel paint. If rust has penetrated through the steel
anywhere, replace pole immediately.

• Check unit before each use for loose hardware, caps/plugs,

excessive wear, and signs of corrosion and repair before using.

• Check unit before each use for stability by trying to move pole. If

pole moves, check contents of ballast.

• Do not use system during windy and/or severe weather conditions;

unit may tip over. Place system in an area protected from the wind
and free from personal property and/or overhead power lines.

• During play, use extreme caution to keep player's face away from

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

• Wear a mouthguard when playing to avoid dental injuries.
• When adjusting height or moving unit, keep hands and fingers away

from areas in which clearance between parts changes.

• When moving unit, tighten clamp knob to keep mechanism from

shifting. Do not allow children to move or adjust unit.

• During play, do not wear jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc.).

Objects may entangle in net.
