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!

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.
Only hang from the rim briey to regain balance or avoid injuring others. Release the rim as
soon as safely possible.
During play, especially when performing dunk type activities, keep players 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 ll base according to manufacturers instructions. Never leave the unit standing in
an upright position without rst lling the base with weight or the system will tip quickly causing
serious personal injury.
When adjusting height or moving system, keep hands and ngers 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.

La supercie donde se coloque la base debe estar lisa y
desprovista de piedras, grava u otros objetos. Las perforaciones
pueden originar prdidas, y stas pueden hacer que el sistema
se tumbe.
No permita que la base del poste entre en contacto con
materiales orgnicos. El pasto, los desechos animales, etc.,
pueden causar corrosin y/o deterioros.
Controle el poste y todas las piezas metlicas una vez al mes
en busca de signos visibles de corrosin (oxidacin, picaduras,
escamado). Elimine todo rastro de xido y vuelva a pintar con
esmalte para exteriores. Si el xido ha penetrado cualquier pieza
de acero, reemplace esa pieza de inmediato.
Inspeccione el sistema antes de cada uso para vericar que
est adecuadamente contrapesado, que los elementos de jacin
no estn ojos, que no haya desgaste excesivo, inestabilidad
ni signos de corrosin. Si encuentra irregularidades, reprelas
antes de usar el sistema.
Nunca juegue con un equipo daado.
No use el sistema en presencia de vientos fuertes o condiciones
climticas adversas, ya que puede tumbarse. Coloque la unidad
en su posicin de almacenamiento y/o en una zona a resguardo
del viento, lejos de propiedades personales que puedan daarse
si el sistema se cae, y de lneas de suministro de energa.
No use el sistema para levantar ningn objeto. El mecanismo
est diseado para elevar solamente el peso del tablero con el
aro. No cuelgue nada de la agarradera, el aro, el tablero ni los
brazos de elevacin, ya que esto puede daar el sistema y anular
la garanta.
Ne vous suspendez pas lanneau plus que ncessaire pour
retrouver votre quilibre ou viter de blesser les autres joueurs.
Relchez lanneau aussitt que possible.
Lors dun match, particulirement dans le cas des smashs, le
visage du joueur ne doit pas faire face au panneau, lanneau,
ni au let. Le joueur risque de graves blessures si ses dents ou
son visage entrent en contact avec le panneau, lanneau, ou le
let. Les joueurs doivent toujours porter un protge-dents lorsquils
jouent.
Ne glissez pas, ne grimpez pas, et ne jouez pas sur la base ou
le poteau.
Remplissez compltement la base selon les instructions du
fabricant. Ne laissez jamais lunit debout de plein pied sans avoir
dabord rempli la base avec un poids ou lquipement pourrait
basculer rapidement et causer de graves blessures.
Lorsque vous ajustez la hauteur ou lorsque vous dplacez
lquipement, gardez vos mains et doigts loin des pices mobiles.
Ne permettez pas aux enfants de dplacer ou dajuster
lquipement.
Ne portez pas de bijoux (bagues, montres, colliers, etc.) lorsque
vous jouez. Ces objets pourraient saccrocher au let.
La surface sur laquelle est pose la base doit tre lisse et sans
gravier ou tout autre objet qui pourrait trouer la base entranant
ainsi une fuite ce qui pourrait faire basculer lquipement.
La base ne doit pas non plus tre pose sur aucun type de
matire organique. Lherbe, les dchets, etc. peuvent entraner la
corrosion et la dtrioration de lquipement.
Une fois par mois, vriez que le Poteau et toutes les pices
en mtal ne montrent pas de signes de corrosion (rouille, piqres,
caillage). Enlevez toute la rouille et repeignez compltement
avec une peinture pour extrieur. Si la rouille a pntr une des
pices en acier, vous devrez remplacer immdiatement la pice
en question.
A chaque fois que vous allez utiliser lquipement, vriez dabord
lquilibre, la possibilit de pices desserres ou uses, la stabilit
de lquipement et tout signe de corrosion ou rparation ncessaire
avant utilisation.
Ne jouez jamais avec un quipement endommag.
Nutilisez pas lquipement lors de fortes rafales de vent ou
de mauvais temps. Lquipement pourrait basculer. Placez
lquipement dans un endroit abrit du vent ou loin des structures
quil pourrait endommager sil basculait et loin des ls lectriques.
Nutilisez pas lquipement pour lever ou soulever quoique ce
soit. Son mcanisme a t conu uniquement pour soutenir le
poids du panneau et de lanneau. Naccrochez rien au manche,
lanneau, au panneau ni aux leviers sous peine dendommager
lquipement et dannuler la garantie.
ADVERTENCIA AVERTISSEMENT
#FS16400 10/12/2004 www.lifetime.com
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.
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.
