WARNING
For safety reasons, we recommend that sand be used
instead of water to fill the Base. If a leak develops, water
could run out unnoticed, allowing the system to fall over,
resulting in serious personal injuries, or property damage.
If using Water, check the Base carefully for leaks. If a
leak is found, lay the system down on the ground and
call Customer Service. Do not use, stand up, or play on
a leaking 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.
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!

WARNING STICKER / AUTOCOLLANT D’AVERTISSEMENT / ETIQUETA DE ADVERTENCIA
FAUTE DE NE PAS SUIVRE CES AVERTISSEMENTS, VOUS RISQUEZ DE CAUSER
DES BLESSURES GRAVES ET/OU DES DOMMAGES À L’ÉQUIPEMENT.
Le propriétaire doit s’assurer que tous les joueurs
connaissent et appliquent les règles suivantes afin d’utiliser
l’équipement en toute sécurité.
SI NO SE OBEDECEN ESTAS ADVERTENCIAS PUEDEN PRODUCIRSE
GRAVES LESIONES Y/O DAÑOS A LA PROPIEDAD.
El propietario del sistema debe asegurarse de que todos
los jugadores conozcan y respeten estas reglas para que el
sistema se use en forma segura.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Owners must ensure that all players know and follow these
rules for safe operation of the system.
• Only hang from the rim briefly to regain balance or avoid injuring
others. Release the rim as soon as safely possible.
• During play, especially when performing dunk type activities, keep
player’s face away from the backboard, rim, and net. Serious injury
could occur if teeth/face come in contact with the backboard, rim, or
Net. Player should wear a mouth guard during play.
• Do not slide, climb, or play on base or pole.
• Completely fill base according to manufacturer’s instructions. Never
leave the unit standing in an upright position without first filling the base
with weight or the system will tip quickly causing serious personal injury.
• When adjusting height or moving system, keep hands and fingers
away from moving parts.
• Do not allow children to move or adjust system.
• Do not wear jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc.) during play.
Objects may entangle in net.
• Keep water and organic material away from pole base. Grass, litter,
etc. could cause corrosion and/or deterioration.
• Never play on damaged equipment.
• Surface beneath the base must be smooth and free of gravel or other
objects. Punctures cause leakage and could cause system to tip over.
• Once a month check pole and all metal parts for signs of
corrosion (rust, pitting, chipping). Completely remove rust and
repaint with exterior enamel. If rust has penetrated any steel part,
replace that part immediately.
• Check system before each use for proper ballast, loose hardware,
excessive wear, instability, and signs of corrosion and repair before use.
• Do not use system during windy or severe weather. System may
tip over. Place system in an area protected from the wind or in an
area away from property that may be damaged if the system falls,
and from overhead power lines.
• Do not use the system to lift or hoist anything. The mechanism 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 warranty.
• Ne pas se suspendre à l’anneau plus que nécessaire pour
retrouver l'équilibre ou éviter de blesser les autres joueurs.
Relâcher l’anneau aussitôt que possible.
• Lors d’un match, particulièrement dans le cas des smashs, le
visage du joueur ne doit pas faire face au panneau, à l’anneau, ni au
filet. Le joueur risque de graves blessures si ses dents ou son visage
entrent en contact avec le panneau, l’anneau, ou le filet. Les joueurs
doivent toujours porter un protège-dents lorsqu’ils jouent.
• Ne pas glisser, ne pas grimper, et ne pas jouer sur la base ou le
poteau.
• Remplir complètement la base selon les instructions du fabricant.
Ne jamais laisser l’unité debout de plein pied sans avoir d’abord rempli
la base avec un poids ou l’équipement pourrait basculer rapidement
et causer de graves blessures.
• Lors du réglage de la hauteur ou lors du déplacement
de l’équipement, garder les mains et doigts loin des pièces mobiles.
• Ne pas permettre aux enfants de déplacer ou d’ajuster l’équipement.
• Ne pas porter de bijoux (bagues, montres, colliers, etc.) pendant le
jeu. Ces objets pourraient s’accrocher au filet.
• La surface sur laquelle est posée la base doit être lisse et sans
gravier ou tout autre objet qui pourrait trouer la base entraînant ainsi
une fuite ce qui pourrait faire basculer l’équipement.
• Garder de l’eau et de la matiére organique loin de la base. Le
gazon, les déchets, etc. pourraient provoquer la corrosion et/ou la
détérioration.
• Une fois par mois, vérifier que le poteau et toutes les pièces en métal
ne montrent pas de signes de corrosion (rouille, piqûres, écaillage).
Enlever toute la rouille et repeindre complètement avec une peinture
pour extérieur. Si la rouille a pénétré une des pièces en acier, il
faut la remplacer immédiatement la pièce en question.
• Chaque fois avant d'utiliser le système, vérifier d’abord l’équilibre,
la possibilité de pièces desserrées ou usées, la stabilité de
l’équipement et tout signe de corrosion ou réparation nécessaire avant
utilisation.
• Ne jamais jouer avec un équipement endommagé.
• Ne pas utiliser l’équipement lors de fortes rafales de vent ou
de mauvais temps. L’équipement pourrait basculer. Placer
l’équipement dans un endroit abrité du vent ou loin des structures
qu’il pourrait endommager s’il basculait, et loin des fils électriques.
• Ne pas utiliser l’équipement pour lever ou soulever quoique ce
soit. Son mécanisme a été conçu uniquement pour soutenir le
poids du panneau et de l’anneau. Ne rien accrocher au manche,
à l’anneau, au panneau ni aux leviers sous peine d’endommager
l’équipement et d’annuler la garantie.
•Colgarse del aro sólo en forma breve, para recuperar el equilibrio
o evitar lesionar a otros jugadores. Soltarse del aro lo más pronto que
pueda hacerlo con seguridad.
• Durante el juego, especialmente al embocar violentamente de alto,
la cara de los jugadores debe mantenerse alejada del tablero, el aro
y la red. Pueden producirse lesiones graves si los dientes o la cara
entran en contacto con el tablero, el aro o la red. Los jugadores deben
usar un protector bucal durante el juego.
• No deslizarse, no trepar ni jugar sobre la base o el poste.
• Llenar la base completamente siguiendo las instrucciones del
fabricante. Nunca dejar la unidad en posición de uso sin haber
llenado previamente la base con material de contrapeso, pues el
sistema podría tumbarse rápidamente y causar graves lesiones
personales.
• Mantener las manos y los dedos alejados de las piezas movibles
al regular la altura o al desplazar el sistema.
• No dejar que los niños regulen ni desplacen el sistema.
• No usar joyas (anillos, relojes, collares o gargantillas, etc.) durante
el juego. Estos objetos pueden engancharse en la red.
• La superficie donde se coloque la base debe estar lisa y desprovista
de piedras, grava u otros objetos. Las perforaciones pueden originar
pérdidas, y éstas pueden hacer que el sistema se tumbe.
• Guardar aqua y materia orgánica. Césped, basura, etc.,
prodrian causar corrosión et/o deterioros.
• Controlar el poste y todas las piezas metálicas una vez al mes
en busca de signos visibles de corrosión (oxidación, picaduras,
escamado). Eliminar todo rastro de óxido y volver a pintar con esmalte
para exteriores. Si el óxido ha penetrado cualquier pieza de acero,
reemplazar esa pieza de inmediato.
• Inspeccionar el sistema antes de cada uso para verificar que esté
adecuadamente contrapesado, que los elementos de fijación no
estén flojos, que no haya desgaste excesivo, inestabilidad ni signos
de corrosión. Al encontrar irregularidades, repararlas antes de usar
el sistema. Nunca jugar con un equipo dañado.
• No usar el sistema en presencia de vientos fuertes o condiciones
climáticas adversas, ya que puede tumbarse. Colocar la unidad en
una posición de almacenamiento y/o en una zona a resguardo
del viento, lejos de propiedades personales que puedan dañarse
si el sistema se cae, y de líneas de suministro de energía.
• No usar el sistema para levantar ningún objeto. El mecanismo está
diseñado para elevar solamente el peso del tablero con el aro. No
colgar nada de la agarradera, el aro, el tablero ni los brazos de
elevación, ya que esto puede dañar el sistema y anular la garantía.
