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.

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

• 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

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

• 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.

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.
System may tip over.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR
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. Check
entire box and inside all packing material for parts and/or additional instruction material. Before beginning
assembly, read the instructions and identify parts using the hardware identifier and parts list in this
document. Proper and complete assembly, use, and supervision are 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.
Most injuries are caused by misuse and/or not following instructions.
Use caution when using this system.
• If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.
• Two (2) people are recommended for this operation.
• Check base regularly for leakage. Slow leaks could cause system to tip over unexpectedly.
• Seat the pole sections properly (if applicable). Failure to do so could allow the pole sections to
separate during play and/or transport of the system.
• Climate, corrosion, or misuse could result in system failure.
• Minimum operational height is 7'6" (2.3 m) to the bottom of backboard.
• This equipment is intended for home recreational use only and NOT excessive competitive play.
• Read and understand the warning label affixed to pole. Label is shown on page 3.
• The life of your basketball pole depends on many conditions. The climate, placement of the pole, the
location of the pole, exposure to corrosives such as pesticides, herbicides or salts are all important
factors.
• If technical assistance is required contact Huffy Sports.
• Adult supervision is recommended when adjusting height.
