SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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 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.
• 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.
