parts are missing, call our Customer Service Department.
B. Test t all Bolts by inserting them into their respective holes.
If necessary, carefully scrape away any excess powder coating
buildup from inside the holes. Do not scrape away all of the
powder coating. Bare metal may rust. You may need to pound
some Bolts into place with a hammer or mallet.

POLE CARE AND SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
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!

CH
Insert one of the 1 1/4” Base Plugs (CH) into the lower hole in the
Base (Fig. 1).
1. Make sure the surface beneath the Base is smooth and free of stones, gravel
or sharp objects that could puncture the Base and cause leakage.
2. Check the Base frequently for cracks or punctures.
3. Always check the water level.
4. If the unit is to be stored without weight, tilt it forward and rest the Rim on
the ground.
TAKE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS:

17
a. With the Base in the desired location, pull out the end links of the Chains (AF) so
they are away from the sides of the Base. Mark the location of the last links in the
Chain and drill a hole 13 mm (1/2 inch) in diameter and 39 mm (1 1/2 inches) deep
in the cement in each spot.
b. Place the Cement Anchors (AD) in the drilled holes and use a 5/16” Hex Bolt and
a hammer to tap down the anchor tab located inside each Anchor. Tap with force
at least ve or six times until the sides of the Anchor begin to are.
c. Slide a 3/8” x 1” Hex Bolt (AB) through a 3/8” Flat Washer (AA) and through the
end links of each Chain (AF).
d. Secure the 3/8” x 1” Hex Bolts (AB) into the Cement Anchors (See illustration).
Note: Using the Cement Anchors can not replace lling the Base with water.
The Base must be lled with water and secured with the Cement Anchors.
Both are necessary for a secure and stable system.

To prevent the Base from being punctured, install the cement anchors in a way that
will not permit them to come in contact with the Base. The hardware used with the
cement anchor could puncture the Base, resulting in leakage, which could cause the
system to tip over, potentially resulting in serious personal injuries. Do not attempt to
use the portable unit without rst lling the Base with weight and securing the cement
anchors. The system may fall over without being secured to the ground and could
cause serious personal injuries.

MOVING THE POOL SIDE SYSTEM
BEFORE TRANSPORTING THE POOLSIDETM SYSTEM, MAKE SURE ALL KNOBS
AND NUTS ARE TIGHTENED COMPLETELY.
a. Unscrew the Bolt from the Cement Anchor. Make sure the Base is empty before moving.
Face the Base in front of the Wheels. Pull on the Rim or Backboard until the system
rests on its Wheels and move it to the desired location.
b. Using two adults, slowly stand the system to playing position.
c. Fill the Base, secure cement anchors and check portable base for stability before play.
WARNING: Children should never be allowed to move the basketball system.
ADJUSTING SYSTEM HEIGHT
TWO ADULTS ARE NECESSARY TO ADJUST SYSTEM HEIGHT.
TO RAISE OR LOWER THE GOAL:
1. One person must stabilize the Backboard while the other person removes the Pole Locking Knob
and Carriage Bolt.
2. Adjust the pole to the desired height and replace the Knob and Bolt.
3. Make sure the Adjustment Knob is secure.

15
Part #600248E
1. One person must stabilize the backboard, while the other person removes the pole locking knob and bolt.
2. Adjust the pole to desired height, and replace the knob and bolt.
3. Make sure adjustment knob is secure.
ADJUSTING THE SYSTEM
1. Make sure the base is empty before moving.
2. Face the front of the base where the wheels are located
and pull back on the pole until the unit is balanced on its
wheels.
3. Move the unit to the desired location and carefully set
it down.
4. Fill the Base, secure cement anchors and check portable
base for stability before play.
TRANSPORTING THE PORTABLE BASE
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.
www.lifetime.com
1. Do Not allow children to move or adjust the system.
2. Always make sure adjustment knob is securely tightened before play.
3. Make sure cement anchors are installed properly during assembly and that they are secure before play.
4. During play, especially when performing dunk type activities, keep players 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
mouth guard during play.
5. Only hang from rim briefly to regain balance or avoid injuring others. Release the rim as soon as safely pos-
sible.
6. DO NOT slide, climb or play on base or pole.
7. Before each use, always check that the base is filled according to manufacturer’s instructions. Check for loose
hardware, instability, and signs of corrosion and repair before each use. Check the base for leaks. If a leak exists,
water could run out unnoticed, allowing the unit to fall over. Never play on damaged equipment.
8. Surface beneath the base must be smooth and free of gravel or other objects. Punctures can cause leakage
and could cause system to tip over.
9. During play, do not wear Jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc.). Objects may entangle in net.
10. When moving system, keep hands and fingers away from moving parts.
11. Once a month check pole and all metal parts for rust. Completely remove rust and repaint with exterior
enamel. If rust has penetrated any steel part, replace that part before using system again. Keep water and
organic material away from pole.
12. Never operate or leave the unit standing in an upright position without first filling the base with weight and
securing cement anchors or it may tip over into the pool and cause injuries such as those listed above.
13. 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.
