Warning
Read and understand the warnings listed below before using this product. 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.
• Do not hang on the rim or any part of the system including backboard, support
braces or net.
• 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 backboard, rim or net.
• Do not slide, climb, shake or play on base and/or pole.
• After assembly is complete, fill system completely with water or sand. Never
leave system in an upright position without filling base with weight, as system
may tip over causing injuries.
• When adjusting height or moving the system, keep hands and fingers away from
moving parts.
• Do not allow children to move or adjust the system.
• During play, do not wear jewellery (rings, watches, necklaces etc.). Objects may
entangle in the net.
• Surface beneath the base must be smooth and free of gravel or other sharp
objects. Punctures cause leakage and could cause system to tip over.
• Keep organic material away from pole base. Grass, litter, etc. could cause
corrosion and/or deterioration.
• Check pole system for signs of corrosion (rust, pitting, chipping) and repaint with
exterior enamel paint. If rust has penetrated through the steel anywhere, replace
the pole immediately.
• Check system before each use for loose hardware, excessive wear and signs of
corrosion and repair before use.
• Check system before each use for instability.
• Do not use the system during windy and/or severe weather conditions; system
may tip over. Place the system in the storage and/or in an area protected from
the wind and free from personal property and/or overhead wires.
• Never play on damaged equipment.
• When moving the system, use caution to keep mechanism from shifting.
• Keep the top of the pole always covered with cap.
• Do not allow water in tank to freeze. During sub-freezing weather, add about
seven litres of non-toxic antifreeze, sand, or empty tank completely and store. Do
not use salt.
• While moving the system, do not allow anyone to stand or sit on base or have
added ballasting on base.
