SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
•
Seat the pole sections properly. Failure to do so could allow the pole sections to
separate during play.
•
Before digging, contact utility company to locate underground power cables, gas,
a
nd water lines. Ensure there are no overhead power lines within 20 ft. (7 m) radius
of pole location.
• Climate, corrosion, excessive use, or misuse could result in system failure.
•
If technical assistance is required, contact Huffy Sports.
• 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 2.
• 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.
• Adult supervision is recommended when adjusting height.
• Serious injury could occur if teeth/face come in contact with backboard, net, or rim.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.
