SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.

Owner must ensure that all players know and follow these rules for safe

operation of the system.

To ensure safety, do not attempt to assemble this system without following the instructions carefully. Proper and complete assembly, use and supervision is essential for proper operation and to reduce the risk of accident or injury. A high probability of serious injury exists if this system is not installed, maintained, and operated properly. Check entire box and inside all packing material for parts and/or additional instructional material. Before beginning assembly, read the instructions and identify parts using

the hardware identifier and parts list in this document.

If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.

Two (2) people are recommended for this operation.

Check base regularly for leakage. Slow leaks could cause system to tip over unexpectedly.

Seat the pole sections properly (if applicable). Failure to do so could allow the pole sections to separate during play and/or transport of the system.

Climate, corrosion or misuse could result in system failure.

Minimum operational height is 6'6" (1.98 m) to the bottom of backboard.

This equipment is intended for home recreational use only and NOT excessive competitive play.

Read and understand the warning label affixed to pole. Label is shown to the right.

The life of your basketball pole depends on many conditions. The climate, placement of the pole, the location of the pole, exposure to corrosives such as pesticides, herbicides or salts are all important.

If technical assistance is required, contact Huffy Sports.

Adult supervision is recommended when adjusting height.

Most injuries are caused by misuse and/or not following instructions.

Use caution when using this system.

WARNING

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Owner must ensure that all players know and follow

these rules for safe operation of the system.

DO NOT HANG on the rim or any part of the system including backboard, support braces or net.

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 backboard, rim or net.

Do not slide, climb, shake or play on base and/or pole.

After assembly is complete, fill system completely with water or sand and stake to the ground. Never leave system in an upright position without filling base with weight, as system may tip over causing injuries.

Do not allow children to move or adjust system.

During play, do not wear jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc.). Objects may entangle in net.

Surface beneath the base must be smooth and free of gravel or other sharp objects. Punctures cause leakage and could cause system to tip over.

Keep organic material away from pole base. Grass, litter, etc. could cause corrosion and/or deterioration.

Check pole system for signs of corrosion (rust, pitting, chipping) and repaint with exterior enamel paint. If rust has penetrated through the steel anywhere, replace pole immediately.

Check system before each use for proper ballast, loose hardware, excessive wear and signs corrosion and repair before use.

Check system before each use for instability.

Do not use system during windy and/or severe weather conditions; system may tip over. Place system in the storage position and/or in an area protected from the wind and free from personal property and/or overhead wires.

Never play on damaged equipment.

See instruction manual for proper installation and maintenance.

When moving system, use caution to keep mechanism from shifting.

Keep pole top covered with cap at all times.
