SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR
PRPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.
Owner must ensure that 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 identifier 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.
WARNING!
•
Manufacturer recommends filling the base with sand, not water. If you choose to use water, ALWAYS
check for leaks. Leaking water will lighten the base and cause the system to become unstable and tip
over.
•
Empty water completely from the base, or add 2 gallons (7.57 liters) of anti-freeze, before the
temperature approaches or falls below the freezing point. Freezing water may crack the base and cause
leaks. This will result in failure of the system, and could result in serious injury.
