Before Installation
Check all parts are present!
Our factory takes every effort to make sure everything is packed in its proper place. But just in case a small part has gone
astray please make sure you check every piece is present before you begin installing - right down to the nuts and bolts.
Assemble with Care
Installation should be completed by an adult. Please make sure you follow all the instructions carefully. If you have any
questions during installation please do not hesitate to contact us on +441865 392439 or email
[email protected] and we will be happy to advise.
Please make sure you read all the safety warnings and advice in this instruction manual. Take extra care over the ballasting
instructions as this will make sure your equipment stands firm once you have completed the assembly. We recommend
the use of sand and water - if water is used anti-freeze is necessary to prevent the water from freezing and cracking the
base. Make sure you position the stand somewhere where there is plenty of space to play.
Using the Basketball Equipment
Improper installation or use of this equipment may cause damage to the stand or result in serious injury to the user. We
would advise that children are supervised at all times when using this product.
Do not use the stand in windy weather conditions - adjust to the lowest height and store to prevent any damage.
Please adhere to the warnings below to ensure proper use of this equipment and ultimately to ensure full enjoyment!
Weighing Down the Base
Making sure the base is weighted properly is very important for safety reasons.
We recommend filling your base with sand or a mixture of water and sand or fine gravel - to a total weight of 170kg.
To fill, simply remove the plastic plug/lid in the base and add water using a hose. To add sand or gravel, use a funnel - you
can create a make-shift funnel using a flexible plastic board or thick glossy piece of cardboard.
If you are using water you must add anti-freeze to prevent the base from cracking during winter months. We would also
recommend adding an anti-algae solution to the water to prevent algae from growing inside the base (such as bleach or
chlorine).
Moving Your Basketball Stand
The stand must be moved by an adult capable of handling the weight of the stand - children should not be
allowed to move the stand.
Stand behind the system and pull the pole towards you slowly until the post is balanced on the wheels in the base.
Roll the stand carefully to the new location and slowly push the system back to a standing position.
Attaching the Net
When attaching the net to your basketball ring, make sure you have
the net the correct way up. The wider loops/wider part of the net
should be at the top. Slide the loops of the net over the metal loops on
the inside of the basketball ring - from the inside towards the
outside (see diagram 1). You can also see here a net that has been
assembled correctly and one that has been assembled upside down!
