Safety Information
WARNING
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE AND
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
Owner must ensure all players know and follow these rules for safe operation of the system.
To ensure safety, do not attempt to assemble this system without following the instructions carefully. Check entire box
and inside all packing material for parts and/or additional instruction material. Before beginning assembly, read the
instructions and identify parts using the hardware identier and parts list in this document. Proper and complete
assembly, use, and supervision are essential for proper operation and to reduce the risk of accident or injury. A high
probability of serious injury exists if this system is not installed, maintained, and operated properly.
• If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.
• Check base regularly for leakage. Slow leaks could cause the system to tip over unexpectedly.
• Seat the pole sections properly (if applicable). Failure to do so could allow the pole sections to separate during play
and/or during transport of the system.
• Climate, corrosion or misuse could result in system failure.
• If technical assistance is required, contact Customer Service.
• Minimum operational height is 6'-6" (1.98m) to the bottom of backboard.
Most injuries are caused by misuse and/or not following instructions.
Use caution when using this unit.
NOTICE
• Adult assembly required.
• Dispose of ALL packaging materials promptly.
• As with all products, periodically inspect for loose small parts.
• ALL basketball systems, including those used for DISPLAYS, 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.
NOTE
Backoard style will vary.
