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. Check the Pole Cap for cracks or tears that could let water
into the pole. 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!
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Owner must ensure that all players know and follow these rules for safe
operation of the system.
 Only hang from the rim briefly 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 pole.
 When adjusting height or system, keep hands and fingers away from moving
parts.
 Do not allow children to 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.
 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 loose hardware, excessive wear, instability,
and signs of corrosion and repair before use.
 Never play on damaged equipment.
 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.

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.
• 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 el poste.
• Mantenga las manos y los dedos alejados de las piezas
movibles cuando regule la altura del sistema.
• No deje que los niños regulen el sistema.
• No use joyas (anillos, relojes, collares o gargantillas, etc.)
durante el juego. Estos objetos pueden engancharse en la
red.
• 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 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 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.
• Lorsque vous ajustez la hauteur ou l’équipement, gardez
vos mains et doigts loin des pièces mobiles.
• N’autorisez pas les enfants à ajuster l’équipement.
• Ne portez pas de bijoux (bagues, montres, colliers, etc.)
lorsque vous jouez. Ces objets pourraient s’accrocher au
let.
• Gardez la base du poteau libre de toute matière organique.
L’herbe, les déchets, etc. peuvent la corroder et la
détériorer.
• 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 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.
