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

Use caution when using this system.

•

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 on page 1.

•

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.

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
