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. 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 the Pole 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!
WARNING
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in broken bones, cuts, nerve damage, spinal cord or
brain injury, or death.
• DO NOT allow children to adjust the unit.
• DO NOT HANG FROM ANY PART OF THE UNIT, including the backboard, support braces, rim or net.
Hanging from the system may cause injuries such as those listed above, damage the unit, and void the
product warranty.
• DO NOT slide, climb, or play on the pole. Keep organic material away from the pole base. Grass, litter,
etc. could cause corrosion and/or deterioration.
• DO NOT use the system to lift or hoist anything. The gas spring 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 product warranty.
• Inspect the unit before each use for loose hardware, excessive wear, and signs of corrosion and repair
before use. Pay particular attention to the anchor hardware.
• Check pole system twice a year for signs of corrosion (rust, pitting, chipping) and repaint with exterior
enamel paint. If rust has penetrated pole or any component, replace damaged parts immediately. Inspect
the gas spring for visible signs of oil anywhere on the spring. If oil is found, replace gas spring immediately.
Thoroughly inspect all welds for signs of rust or weld failure.
• Check the unit before each use for stability.
• Use caution when performing dunk-type activities on this unit.
• All players must wear a mouth guard while playing close to the net. During play, use extreme caution
to keep each player’s face away from the backboard, rim, and net. Serious injury can occur if teeth/face
come in contact with the backboard, rim, or net.
• DO NOT wear jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc.) while using the system. Serious personal injury
may occur if jewelry is caught on the rim or net.
