Read and understand the warnings listed below before using this product. 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 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.
•When adjusting height or moving the system, keep hands and fingers away from
moving parts.
•Do not allow children to move or adjust the system.
•During play, do not wear jewellery (rings, watches, necklaces etc.). Objects may
entangle in the 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
the pole immediately.
•Check system before each use for loose hardware, excessive wear and signs of
corrosion and repair before use.
•Check system before each use for instability.
•Do not use the system during windy and/or severe weather conditions; system
may tip over. Place the system in the storage and/or in an area protected from
the wind and free from personal property and/or overhead wires.
•Never play on damaged equipment.
•When moving the system, use caution to keep mechanism from shifting.
•Keep the top of the pole always covered with cap.
•Do not allow water in tank to freeze. During sub-freezing weather, add about
seven litres of non-toxic antifreeze, sand, or empty tank completely and store. Do
not use salt.
•While moving the system, do not allow anyone to stand or sit on base or have
added ballasting on base.
