13. To adjust the height of the rim loosen the telescoping lock bolt, then loosen the lock handle while
gripping the adjustment handles. Adjust the pole upwards until the top of the goal measures 10’ from the
playing surface. Lock the pole at that height and apply the 10’ Height Indicator Label (I) to the plated
inner tube. Line up the arrows on the 10’ label to the already attached “Rim Height Indicator” label.
Adjust the pole downward so that the goal measures 9’ 6” from the playing surface. Lock the pole and
apply the appropriate height indicator label to the plated inner tube. Continue to lower the goal at 6”
increments, being careful to lock the pole each time, and apply the appropriate height labels until the
height of 8’ from playing surface is reached. See Figure 6

The recent popularity of adjustable height basketball systems has increased the risk of dental injury,
particularly to young players, due to players getting their teeth caught in the net.
