SAFE HANDLING OF GLASS BACKBOARDS
BEFORE & DURING ASSEMBLY
1. Thoroughly inspect the Backboard before beginning assembly. Do not use the Back-
board if there are any chips, cracks, or other defects in the board. Call our Customer
Service Department if any problems are found.
2. Use extreme caution when handling or working around the Backboard.
3. Keep tools, hardware, and other sharp and heavy objects away from the Backboard.
4. Never rest the Backboard directly on a hard surface, such as concrete or pavement.
Always place cardboard or other cushioning material between the Backboard and the
ground or other hard surfaces.
5. Always lay the Backboard flat. Never place it in a position where it might tip over and break.
6. Glass is very heavy. Always use at least two adults when picking up or moving the
Backboard.
GENERAL HANDLING & CARE
1. Inspect the Backboard before each use. Do not use the Backboard if there are any
chips, cracks, or other defects in the board. If any signs of damage are found, follow
the instructions for “Handling Broken Glass” below.
3. Use extreme caution when handling or working around the Backboard.
4. The Backboard was designed for use with a Basketball. Do not use other types of
balls or other objects with the system. Do not use this system for any purpose other
than its designed purpose.
HANDLING BROKEN GLASS
At the first sign of breakage:
1. Keep everyone, especially children, away from the immediate area of the Backboard.
2. Put on eye protection, and wear thick utility gloves and long sleeves. Small pieces of
tempered glass may pop out of the Backboard.
3. Lower the Backboard to its lowest height, and completely cover the Backboard with a tarp.
4. Do not remove the Backboard from the system without first lowering the system to
its lowest setting. Carefully read and follow the “Removing Backboard from System”
instructions below.
REMOVING BACKBOARD FROM SYSTEM
1. Lower the Backboard to its lowest setting.
2. While two adults on ladders hold the board, a third person should remove the bolts,
nuts, and washers that connect the Backboard to the Extension Arms.
3. Carefully lower the Backboard to the ground.
4. Set aside the Rim and all hardware for re-assembling the replacement Backboard.
WARNING
At least three adults are required to complete these steps. Two adults are required to
support and lower the Backboard throughout the entire process. Use extreme caution
when standing on ladders to perform assembly steps. Follow all warnings and cautions
on the ladder. Failure to follow all of these instructions and warnings could lead to serious
personal injury or property damage mentioned in the “Safety Instructions.”
