SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in serious injury or
property damage and will void the warranty. The owner must ensure that
all players know and follow these rules for safe operation of the system. 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, or operated properly.
• If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution. Follow all warnings
and cautions on the ladder carefully. • Two people are required for assembly.
• Check the Base regularly for leaks. Slow leakage could cause the system to
tip over unexpectedly. • Seat the pole sections properly. 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. • If technical
assistance is required, contact the manufacturer. • Minimum operational height
is 7’ 6” to the Rim. Most injuries are caused by misuse and/or failure to follow
instructions. Use caution when using the system.

The life of your basketball system depends on many variables. The climate, exposure to corrosives
such as salt, pesticides, or herbicides, and excessive use or misuse can all contribute to pole failure,
which may cause property damage or personal injury.
Check your basketball system frequently for loose hardware, excessive wear, and signs of corrosion.
For safety reasons, and to prolong the life of your basketball system, you must take the following
preventive measures.
a. Check all Nuts and Bolts. If any are loose, tighten them.
b. Check all parts for excessive wear and tear. If necessary, replace any parts that have been worn
or damaged through usage. Contact our Customer Service Department for replacement parts.
c. Inspect the Warning Sticker on the pole. If it is ripped, faded, or illegible, call our Customer
Service Department to request a replacement Sticker.
d. Check all pole sections for visible rust or chipped or cracked paint. If either are present, do the
following:
1. Use an emery cloth to completely remove any rust or chipped paint.
2. Clean the area with a damp cloth and allow it to dry.
3. Apply two coats of a rust preventative, high gloss enamel paint to the area. Allow the
paint to dry between coats.
IF RUST HAS PENETRATED THROUGH THE POLE ANYWHERE, REPLACE IT
IMMEDIATELY!

Le propriétaire doit s’assurer que tous les joueurs connaissent
et appliquent les règles suivantes an d’utiliser l’équipement en
toute sécurité.
WARNING
El propietario del sistema debe asegurarse de que todos
los jugadores conozcan y respeten estas reglas para que el
sistema se use en forma segura.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAy RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURy AND/OR PROPERTy DAMAGE.
Owners must ensure that all players know and follow these
rules for safe operation of the system.
Only hang from the rim briey to regain balance or avoid injuring
others. Release the rim as soon as safely possible.
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 the backboard, rim,
or net. Player should wear a mouth guard during play.
Do not slide, climb, or play on base or pole.
Completely ll base according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Never leave the unit standing in an upright position without rst
lling the base with weight or the system will tip quickly causing
serious personal injury.
When adjusting height or moving system, keep hands and ngers
away from moving parts.
Do not allow children to move or adjust system.
Do not wear jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc.) during play.
Objects may entangle in net.
Keep organic material away from pole base. Grass, litter, etc. could
cause corrosion and/or deterioration.
• Cuélguese del aro sólo en forma breve, para recuperar el
equilibrio o evitar lesionar a otros jugadores. Suéltese del aro lo
más pronto que pueda hacerlo con seguridad.
• Durante el juego, especialmente al embocar violentamente
de alto, la cara de los jugadores debe mantenerse alejada del
tablero, el aro y la red. Pueden producirse lesiones graves si los
dientes o la cara entran en contacto con el tablero, el aro o la red.
Los jugadores deben usar un protector bucal durante el juego.
• No se deslice, no trepe ni juegue sobre la base o el poste.
• Llene la base completamente siguiendo las instrucciones del
fabricante. Nunca deje la unidad en posición de uso sin haber
llenado previamente la base con material de contrapeso, pues el
sistema podría tumbarse rápidamente y causar graves lesiones
personales.
• Mantenga las manos y los dedos alejados de las piezas movibles
cuando regule la altura o desplace el sistema.
• No deje que los niños regulen ni desplacen el sistema.
• No use joyas (anillos, relojes, collares o gargantillas, etc.)
durante el juego. Estos objetos pueden engancharse en la red.
• La supercie donde se coloque la base debe estar lisa y
desprovista de piedras, grava u otros objetos. Las perforaciones
pueden originar pérdidas, y éstas pueden hacer que el sistema
se tumbe.
• No permita que la base del poste entre en contacto con
materiales orgánicos. El pasto, los desechos animales, etc.,
pueden causar corrosión y/o deterioros.
• Controle el poste y todas las piezas metálicas una vez al mes
en busca de signos visibles de corrosión (oxidación, picaduras,
escamado). Elimine todo rastro de óxido y vuelva a pintar con
esmalte para exteriores. Si el óxido ha penetrado cualquier pieza
de acero, reemplace esa pieza de inmediato.
• Inspeccione el sistema antes de cada uso para vericar que
esté adecuadamente contrapesado, que los elementos de jación
no estén ojos, que no haya desgaste excesivo, inestabilidad
ni signos de corrosión. Si encuentra irregularidades, repárelas
antes de usar el sistema.
Nunca juegue con un equipo dañado.
• No use el sistema en presencia de vientos fuertes o condiciones
climáticas adversas, ya que puede tumbarse. Coloque la unidad
en su posición de almacenamiento y/o en una zona a resguardo
del viento, lejos de propiedades personales que puedan dañarse
si el sistema se cae, y de líneas de suministro de energía.
• No use el sistema para levantar ningún objeto. El mecanismo
está diseñado para elevar solamente el peso del tablero con el
aro. No cuelgue nada de la agarradera, el aro, el tablero ni los
brazos de elevación, ya que esto puede dañar el sistema y anular
la garantía.
• Ne vous suspendez pas à l’anneau plus que nécessaire pour
retrouver votre équilibre ou éviter de blesser les autres joueurs.
Relâchez l’anneau aussitôt que possible.
• Lors d’un match, particulièrement dans le cas des smashs, le
visage du joueur ne doit pas faire face au panneau, à l’anneau,
ni au let. Le joueur risque de graves blessures si ses dents ou
son visage entrent en contact avec le panneau, l’anneau, ou le
let. Les joueurs doivent toujours porter un protège-dents lorsqu’ils
jouent.
• Ne glissez pas, ne grimpez pas, et ne jouez pas sur la base ou
le poteau.
• Remplissez complètement la base selon les instructions du
fabricant. Ne laissez jamais l’unité debout de plein pied sans avoir
d’abord rempli la base avec un poids ou l’équipement pourrait
basculer rapidement et causer de graves blessures.
• Lorsque vous ajustez la hauteur ou lorsque vous déplacez
l’équipement, gardez vos mains et doigts loin des pièces mobiles.
• Ne permettez pas aux enfants de déplacer ou d’ajuster
l’équipement.
• Ne portez pas de bijoux (bagues, montres, colliers, etc.) lorsque
vous jouez. Ces objets pourraient s’accrocher au let.
• La surface sur laquelle est posée la base doit être lisse et sans
gravier ou tout autre objet qui pourrait trouer la base entraînant
ainsi une fuite ce qui pourrait faire basculer l’équipement.
• La base ne doit pas non plus être posée sur aucun type de
matière organique. L’herbe, les déchets, etc. peuvent entraîner la
corrosion et la détérioration de l’équipement.
• Une fois par mois, vériez que le Poteau et toutes les pièces
en métal ne montrent pas de signes de corrosion (rouille, piqûres,
écaillage). Enlevez toute la rouille et repeignez complètement
avec une peinture pour extérieur. Si la rouille a pénétré une des
pièces en acier, vous devrez remplacer immédiatement la pièce
en question.
• A chaque fois que vous allez utiliser l’équipement, vériez d’abord
l’équilibre, la possibilité de pièces desserrées ou usées, la stabilité
de l’équipement et tout signe de corrosion ou réparation nécessaire
avant utilisation.
• Ne jouez jamais avec un équipement endommagé.
• N’utilisez pas l’équipement lors de fortes rafales de vent ou
de mauvais temps. L’équipement pourrait basculer. Placez
l’équipement dans un endroit abrité du vent ou loin des structures
qu’il pourrait endommager s’il basculait et loin des ls électriques.
• N’utilisez pas l’équipement pour lever ou soulever quoique ce
soit. Son mécanisme a été conçu uniquement pour soutenir le
poids du panneau et de l’anneau. N’accrochez rien au manche,
à l’anneau, au panneau ni aux leviers sous peine d’endommager
l’équipement et d’annuler la garantie.
ADVERTENCIA AVERTISSEMENT
#FS16400 10/12/2004 www.lifetime.com
Surface beneath the base must be smooth and free of gravel or
other objects. Punctures cause leakage and could cause system
to tip over.
Once a month check pole and all metal parts for signs of corrosion
(rust, pitting, chipping). Completely remove rust and repaint with
exterior enamel. If rust has penetrated any steel part, replace that
part immediately.
Check system before each use for proper ballast, loose hardware,
excessive wear, instability, and signs of corrosion and repair
before use.
Never play on damaged equipment.
Do not use system during windy or severe weather. System may
tip over. Place system in an area protected from the wind or in an
area away from property that may be damaged if the system falls,
and from overhead power lines.
 Do not use the system to lift or hoist anything. The mechanism is
designed to lift only the weight of the backboard and rim. Do not
hang anything from the handle, rim backboard, or lifter arms as
this will damage the system and void the warranty.
