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 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.
• Keep pole top covered with cap at all times.
• 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.)
• Use extreme caution if placing system on sloped surface.
System may tip over more easily.

NOTICE TO ASSEMBLERS
ALL Huffy Sports basketball Systems, including those used for DISPLAYS, MUST be assembled
and ballasted with sand or water according to instructions. Failure to follow instructions could
result in SERIOUS INJURY. It is NOT acceptable to devise a makeshift weight system.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY,
PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.
Owner must ensure that all players know and follow these rules for safe operation of the system.
To ensure safety, do not attempt to assemble this system without following the instructions carefully. Proper
and complete assembly, use and supervision is essential for proper operation and to reduce the risk of
accident or injury. A high probability of serious injury exists if this system is not installed, maintained, and
operated properly.
• If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.
• Check base regularly for leakage. Slow leaks could cause the system to tip over
unexpectedly
• Seat the pole sections properly (if applicable). Failure to do so could allow the pole
sections to seperate during play and/or during transport of the system.
• Climate, corrosion or misuse could result in system failure.
• If technical assistance is required, contact Huffy Sports.
• Minimum operational height is 6’6” (1.98m) to the bottom of backboard.
Most injuries are caused by misuse and/or not following instructions.
Use caution when using this unit.

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.
AVANT DE COMMENCER !
Pour garantir l'utilisation optimale du panneau, les composants du système élévateur et la visserie doivent être bien
ajustés (serrés). À titre d'essai, insérez les gros boulons dans les gros trous des tubes du système élévateur, des supports
du panneau et des plaques triangulaires. Basculez-les avec précaution en imprimant un mouvement circulaire pour
éliminer l'excédent de peinture, si nécessaire.
¡ANTES DE COMENZAR!
Para asegurar el óptimo rendimiento del sistema del respaldo en el juego, se requiere un ajuste de tolerancia estrecha
entre los componentes del elevador y el herraje. Pruebe el ajuste de los pernos grandes en los orificios grandes de los
tubos elevadores, soportes del respaldo y placas triangulares. Cuidadosamente muévalos en círculos para eliminar
cualquier exceso de pintura, si es necesario.
VORBEREITENDE MASSNAHMEN
Um sicherzustellen, dass das Korbwandsystem optimal für den Spielbetrieb geeignet ist, müssen die Komponenten der
Verlängerungsvorrichtung und die verschiedenen Befestigungsteile fest miteinander verschraubt werden. Große Schrauben
zur Probe in die großen Löcher der Verlängerungsrohre, Korbwandklammern und Dreiecksplatte stecken und diese
vorsichtig in einer Kreisbewegung hin- und herbewegen, um eventuelle Farbrückstände aus den Bohrungen zu entfernen.
