Moving the system
WARNING: The system must only be moved by people capable of
handling its weight. Children should not be allowed to move the
system.

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. Check the Pole
Cap for cracks or tears that could let water into the pole. 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 all pole sections 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!
