take the following preventive measures.
a. Check all Nuts and Bolts. If any are loose, tighten them.

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!

Save a 1/2 bag of concrete for use later in the assembly.
Form the cement into a downward slope away from the
pole to allow water runoff. Failure to do so may result in
premature rusting of the pole.
The slots in the Bottom Pole must
be parallel to the playing surface. If
necessary, insert a straight object, a ruler,
wire, etc., through the slots in the Bottom
Pole and rotate the pole until the object is
parallel to the playing surface.
If the pole is buried too deep or too shallow, the Rim will
not be at the correct height.
