POLE CARE AND SYSTEm mAINTENANCEThe 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!

• Cuélguese del aro sólo en forma breve, para recuperar el equilibrio o evitar lesionar a otros jugadores. Suéltese del aro lo más pronto que pueda hacerlo con seguridad.• Durante el juego, especialmente al embocar violentamente de alto, la cara de los jugadores debe mantenerse alejada del tablero, el aro y la red. Pueden producirse lesiones graves si los dientes o la cara entran en contacto con el tablero, el aro o la red. Los jugadores deben usar un protector bucal durante el juego.• No se deslice, no trepe ni juegue sobre la base o el poste.• Llene la base completamente siguiendo las instrucciones del fabricante. Nunca deje la unidad en posición de uso sin haber llenado previamente la base con material de contrapeso, pues el sistema podría tumbarse rápidamente y causar graves lesiones personales.• Mantenga las manos y los dedos alejados de las piezas movibles cuando regule la altura o desplace el sistema.• No deje que los niños regulen ni desplacen el sistema.• No use joyas (anillos, relojes, collares o gargantillas, etc.) durante el juego. Estos objetos pueden engancharse en la red.• La superficie donde se coloque la base debe estar lisa y desprovista de piedras, grava u otros objetos. Las perforaciones pueden originar pérdidas, y éstas pueden hacer que el sistema se tumbe.• No permita que la base del poste entre en contacto con materiales orgánicos. El pasto, los desechos animales, etc., pueden causar corrosión y/o deterioros. • Controle el poste y todas las piezas metálicas una vez al mes en busca de signos visibles de corrosión (oxidación, picaduras, escamado). Elimine todo rastro de óxido y vuelva a pintar con esmalte para exteriores. Si el óxido ha penetrado cualquier pieza de acero, reemplace esa pieza de inmediato.• Inspeccione el sistema antes de cada uso para verificar que esté adecuadamente contrapesado, que los elementos de fijación no estén flojos, que no haya desgaste excesivo, inestabilidad ni signos de corrosión.
