• As assembled, the rim height is 3' (1 m).

•  To raise the rim height to 4', 5', or 6' (1.2 m, 1.5 m or 

1.8 m), place your foot on the base and pull up on the 
backboard with both hands to remove the upper post 
from the base. You may need to rock the upper post to 
loosen it from the base.

IMPORTANT! 

Since this may require a lot of force, DO 

NOT stand with your face or chest above the backboard.
