INSTRUCTION MANUAL

POLE CARE AND SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The life of your basketball system depends on many variables. The climate, exposure to corro-
sives such as salt, pesticides or herbicides, and excessive use, or misuse can all contribute to
pole failure, which may cause property damage and/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
preventative measures.
1. Check all nuts and bolts. If any are loose, tighten them.
2. Check all parts for excessive wear and tear. If necessary, replace any parts that have been
worn or damaged through usage.
3. Check all poles for visible rust, chips, or cracked paint. If either is present, do the following:
a) Use an emery cloth to completely remove any rust or chipped paint.
b) Clean the area with a damp cloth and allow it to dry.
c) Spray two coats of rust preventative, high gloss enamel paint on the area.
IF RUST HAS PENETRATED THROUGH THE POLE ANYWHERE, REPLACE The POLE IMMEDIATELY!
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• DO NOT HANG on the rim or any part of the system, including backboard, support braces, or
net.
• During play, keep the player's face away from the backboard, rim, and net. Serious injury
could occur if teeth/face come in contact with a backboard, rim, or net.
• Only adults can adjust the basketball system. When adjusting the height, keep hands and
fingers away from moving parts.
• Always check the unit to ensure that all fittings and hard ware are tight before each use.
• Keep the manual for future reference.

using the hardware identifier and parts list in this document. Proper and complete assem-
bly, use, and supervision are essential for proper operation and to reduce the risk of acci-
dent or injury. A high probability of serious injury exists if this system is not installed main-
tained, and operated properly.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.
• 4 Capable adults are recommended for this operation.
• Before digging, contact utility company to locate underground power cables, gas,
and water lines.
• Ensure that there are no overhead power lines within 20 ft. (7 m)radius of pole location.
WARNING TO ASSEMBLERS
Four capable adults required for assembly. All basketball systems must be assembled and
installed according to instructions. Failure to follow instructions could result in SERIOUS INJURY.
It is NOT acceptable to devise a makeshift support system.
Most injuries are caused by misuse and/or not following instructions. Use caution when
using this unit.

Day 5. Complete assembly instructions.
(Requires four adults)
Items needed for Anchor Installation
(not included)
• 9 - 80 lb. bags of concrete
• 1 - Post hole digger (optional)
• 1 - 15/16 open end wrench
• 1 - 15/16 socket and ratchet (optional)
• 1 - concrete form (see note after step 2)
• 1 - Wheel barrow
• 1 - Garden hose
• 1 - Level
• 1 - Tape measure
Note: For best results with less vibration,
anchor system should be independent of
court. If pouring concrete for both at same
time, add an expansion joint in between.
Note: When digging hole, if you hit rock and
cannot dig through contact a contractor.
WARNING
Before digging hole for anchor system,
check for buried power, gas, water, and
telecommunication lines! Failure to do so
could result in serious or fatal injury!
Contact your local utility company if
unsure.
1. Determine the location of
the anchor system. The
proper location is as
close to the court without
making contact, as
shown in Figure 1. This,
however, is a general
rule. If you need to locate
the anchor system in a
location other than this,
use the following
dimensions as a guide
Overhang when adjusted to 10 ft. = 27"
Note: Minimum of 18" rear clearance is required behind pole.

2. Assemble anchor system as follows: Thread nut
(#35) to bottom of threads on anchor bolt (#F) insert
threads of anchor bolt (#F) through hole on anchor
plate (#8) and secure with nut (F#35). Repeat this
step for the remaining anchor bolts. See Figure2
Note: Each anchor bolts should face the anchor bolt like
the right Figures. See Detail A
Note: It is recommended that you use some sort of concrete form for the top 4" of the concrete.
Cardboard forms can be purchased at some hardware and home stores or a wooden form can
be constructed out of 2 x 4's.
3. Mix and pour concrete into hole. Follow instructions on concrete bag. Stop about 18" below
court level.
4. Insert four reinforcement bars (#K) into concrete 8" apart creating a square in center on
hole.
5. Finish pouring concrete up to court level.
6. Push anchor system into concrete and agitate to work out voids in concrete. Immediately
use a level to level and square anchor plate to playing surface. Clean off any concrete that
may be on exposed threads.
Note: The bottom four nuts will be forever embedded in concrete. The top four nuts remain on
bolts and are used for leveling.
Let concrete stand for a MINIMUM of 72 hours.
