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.
Not all items pictured are included with
every model.
Owner must ensure that all players know and follow these rules
for safe operation of the system.
WARNING
• 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 2 gallons of non-toxic antifreeze, sand or empty
tank 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.
• Use extreme caution if placing system on sloped surface.
System may tip over more easily.

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
