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.

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

• Check system before each use for proper ballast, loose
hardware, excessive wear and signs of 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.
• When moving system, use caution to keep mechanism from
shifting.
• Keep pole top covered with cap at all times.

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.

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.
