Top Pole: Four holes at the top of the pole, four holes in the middle, two holes near the bottom and one small hole at the bottom. Middle Pole: One slot at the top of the pole and one small hole at the bottom. Warning Sticker. Bottom Pole: One slot at the top of the pole, two holes near the top, two holes at the bottom and a bent edge at the bottom. Shortest pole. TP MP BP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR 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. Check entire box and inside all packing material for parts and/ or additional instruction material. Before beginning assembly, read the instructions and identify parts using the hardware identifier and parts list in this document. Proper and complete assembly, use and supervision are essential for proper orientation 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. If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution. Two capable adults are recommended for this operation. Check base daily for leakage. Leaks will cause system to fall. Assemble the pole sections properly (if applicable). Failure to do so could cause the pole sections to separate during play or transport. Minimum operational height is 7 6 (2.23m) to the rim. Most injuries are caused by misuse and/or not following instructions. Use caution when using this system. 3

20 WARNING Never put the system in an upright position without proper weight in the Base. The system may fall over and could result in serious personal injury or property damage. Two adults are required to complete assembly. To prevent serious injuries, the pole should be held down by one adult at all times while filling the Base. 35 Filling the Base with Sand With the Backboard extended to its highest position, use a funnel and fill the Base with 375 lbs. of sand. Place the Base Cap (AI) onto the fill hole. AI Using at least two adults, carefully stand the system up. For safety reasons, we recommend that sand be used instead of water to fill the Base. Filling the Base with Water With the Backboard extended to its highest position, fill the Base with cold water and one tablespoon of chlorine bleach. Place the Base Cap (AI) onto the fill hole. Using at least two adults, carefully stand the system up. AI Check the Base Cap for leaks frequently. If a leak develops, water could run out unnoticed, allowing the unit to fall over and resulting in serious personal injuries or property damage. Check the Base carefully for leaks. 20

21 WHEN USING WATER IN THE BASE TAKE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS: 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. Operation of the height adjustment system The adjustable system may be adjusted from 7 1/2 feet to 10 feet. Hold the Handle tightly and squeeze the Trigger to engage the Gas Spring. Raise the Handle to lower the Backboard, or lower the Handle to raise the Backboard. WHILE TRANSPORTING THE PORTABLE SYSTEM, USE CAUTION TO PREVENT THE MECHANISM FROM ADJUSTING. 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. 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. 21

22 POLE CARE AND SYSTEM MAINTENANCE 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! Only clean the Backboard with the approved cleaning materials listed below: Windex 1 Joy 2 Mr. Clean 2 Fantastik 3 Formula The use of other chemicals will void the warranty. 1 Registered Trademark of the Drackett Products Company. 2 Registered Trademarks of Procter & Gamble. 3 Registered Trademark of Texize, Division of Norton Norwich Products Inc. 4 Registered Trademark of the Clorox Company. 22

23 TRANSPORTING THE PORTABLE BASE 1. Adjust the basketball system to its lowest position. 2. Face the system and pull back on the pole until unit is balanced on its wheels. 3. Move the portable system and carefully set the base down. 4. Check the base for stability before play. CAUTION WATCH FOR PINCH POINTS ALWAYS KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM! ADJUSTING SYSTEM HEIGHT TO RAISE OR LOWER THE GOAL: G r a s p a d j u s t m e n t handle firmly, squeeze adjustment trigger, and raise or lower the goal. When the desired height is reached, release adjustment trigger.

OWNER 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. Surface beneath the base must be smooth and free of gravel or other 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. 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. Never play on damaged equipment. 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. 23
