1. Make sure the surface beneath the Base is smooth and free of stones, gravel or other sharp
objects that could puncture the Base and cause leakage.
2. Check the Base frequently for cracks or punctures.
3. Always check the water level before play. If a leak is found or the water level is low, lay the
system down on the ground and call the Customer Service number for assistance.
4. If the unit is to be stored without weight, tilt the unit forward and rest the Rim on the
ground.
5. Each time the Base is filled with water, add one tablespoon of chlorine bleach to the water
to prevent algae formation inside the Base.
WHEN USING WATER IN THE BASE TAKE THE
FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS:
Operation of the height adjustment system
WHILE TRANSPORTING THE SYSTEM, USE CAUTION TO
PREVENT THE MECHANISM FROM ADJUSTING.
The adjustable system may be adjusted from 7 1/2 feet to 10 feet in 6-inch increments.
Hold the Handle tightly and squeeze the Trigger. Raise the Handle to lower the Backboard,
or lower the Handle to raise the Backboard.
Moving the system
WARNING: The system must only be moved by people who are capable of
handling its weight. Children should not be allowed to move the system.
a. Adjust the system to its lowest position.
b. Stand in front of the system and pull on the pole until the unit is balanced on its Wheels.
c. Move the system to the desired location and carefully set the Base down.
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!
