⚠ WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND OPERATOR'S MANUAL BEFORE USING THIS UNIT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

Pole Care and System Maintenance

The longevity of your basketball system depends on various factors including climate, exposure to corrosives (salt, pesticides, herbicides), excessive use, or misuse, all of which can contribute to pole failure, potentially causing property damage and/or personal injury. Regularly inspect your basketball system for loose hardware, excessive wear, and signs of corrosion. To ensure safety and prolong the system's life, follow these preventative measures:

1. Check all nuts and bolts. Tighten any that are loose.
2. Inspect all parts for excessive wear and tear. Replace any worn or damaged parts as necessary.
3. Check all poles for visible rust, chips, or cracked paint. If present, perform the following:
   • Use an emery cloth to completely remove any rust or chipped paint.
   • Clean the affected area with a damp cloth and allow it to dry.
   • Apply two coats of rust-preventative, high-gloss enamel paint to the area.

IF RUST HAS PENETRATED THROUGH THE POLE ANYWHERE, REPLACE THE POLE IMMEDIATELY!

⚠ WARNING!!!

NEVER PLAY WITH THE PORTABLE BASKETBALL SYSTEM WITHOUT FILLING THE BASE COMPLETELY WITH WATER OR SAND, AS THE SYSTEM MAY TIP OVER, CAUSING INJURIES.

General Safety Instructions

⚠ SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ⚠

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.

The owner must ensure that all players are aware of and follow these rules for safe operation of the system.

• Do not hang on the rim or any part of the system, including the backboard, support braces, or net.
• During play, keep players' faces away from the backboard, rim, and net. Serious injury could occur if teeth or face come into contact with these components.
• Only adults should adjust or move the basketball system. When adjusting height or moving the system, keep hands and fingers away from moving parts.
• Always check the unit before each use to ensure the base is full of water or sand, and all fittings and hardware are tight.
• The surface beneath the base must be smooth and free of gravel or other sharp objects. Punctures can cause leakage and lead to the system tipping over.
• Do not allow water to freeze in the base if it is full of water.
• Two adults are required to complete assembly.
• Exercise extreme caution when placing the system on a sloped surface, as it may tip over more easily.
• Keep this manual for future reference.

WARNING TO ASSEMBLERS: Two capable adults are required for assembly. The assembled unit MUST be filled with sand or water at all times. All basketball systems must be assembled and installed according to instructions. Failure to follow instructions could result in SERIOUS INJURY. It is NOT acceptable to devise a makeshift support system.

• If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.
• Check base daily for leakage. Leaks will cause the system to fall.
• Assemble the pole sections properly. Failure to do so could cause the pole sections to separate during play or transport.
• Minimum operational height is 7.7 ft (2.30m) to the rim.

Most injuries are caused by misuse and/or not following instructions. Use caution when using this unit.

⚠ WARNING!

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

• Only hang from the rim briefly to regain balance or avoid injuring others. Release the rim as safely as possible.
• During play, especially during dunking activities, keep players' faces away from the backboard, rim, and net. Serious injuries could occur if teeth/face come into contact with the backboard, rim, or net.
• Do not slide, climb, or play on the base or pole.
• Completely fill the base according to manufacturer's instructions, or the system will tip quickly, causing serious personal injury.
• When adjusting height or moving the system, keep hands and fingers away from moving parts.
• Do not allow children to move or adjust the system.
• During play, do not wear jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc.) as objects may entangle in the net.
• The surface beneath the base must be smooth and free of gravel or other objects. Punctures can cause leakage and could cause the system to tip over.
• Keep water and organic materials away from the pole. The pole can rust and fall.
• Once a month, check the pole and all metal parts for rust. Completely remove rust and repaint with exterior enamel. If rust has penetrated any steel part, replace that part immediately.
• Check the system before each use for proper ballast, loose hardware, instability, and signs of corrosion. Repair before each use. Never play on damaged equipment.
• Do not use the system during windy or severe weather, as the system may tip over. Place the system in an area protected from the wind or in an area away from property that may be damaged if the system falls.
• Do not leave the unit in a vertical position if the base is not properly filled with sand.
• This product is NOT designed to support a player hanging from any component of this basketball system.
• Rim height adjustments should be made by ADULTS ONLY.
• Wear a mouth guard when playing to avoid dental injuries.

⚠ WARNING: SWINGING ON THIS RIM MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

⚠ WARNING: DO NOT LEAVE UNIT IN VERTICAL POSITION IF THE BASE IS NOT PROPERLY FILLED WITH SAND.

⚠ WARNING: Failure to observe this warning may cause property damage and/or serious injury.

Cool Inductive LED for Basketball Ring

1. Brief Introduction:

This LED product is an auxiliary device for basketball frames. It presents different cool lighting effects according to different scoring methods, adding more interesting and fun sports atmosphere for players.

2. Product Function:

Normal State: In the non-inductive state, there are two states: low brightness white light and no light, controlled by plug-in power supply.

• Plug in the power supply: The light is always ice blue. If the light turns off after 3 seconds, it means it is not sensed normally.
• Plug in the power supply: The light is always bright ice blue. If the light turns to low bright white after 3 seconds, it means it is not sensed normally.

Scoring Effects:

• Box Goal: When the basketball goes into the net, 12 cool lighting effects cycle, with each mode lasting 3 seconds.
• Through the Heart Goal: The light stays ice blue for 3 seconds.

Note: The effective induction time for both goal types should not be less than 2 seconds.

3. Product Parameter:

• Work Voltage: DC4.5V (requires 3 PCS AA dry batteries)
• Work Current: The maximum current is 500mA when the induction lamp is on for 3 seconds.

4. Product Installation:

Follow these steps to install the LED light kit:

1. Surround the LED light belt around the basketball metal frame with the light beads facing outwards. Try to keep the light strip on the lower edge of the basketball hoop to reduce the probability of basketball impact. Lock it with the tie belt at a proper position and cut off any excess tie belt.
2. Use the two-sided 3M adhesive tape to attach the induction control box.
3. Place the other side of the control box flat on the bottom of the basketball hoop and backboard, in the middle of the position. Try to keep the sensor and the hoop as far apart as possible to prevent misjudgment caused by brushing the frame.
4. Install 3 AA batteries into the battery box and stick the back of the battery box with strong 3M tape.
5. Stick the battery box to the basketball frame post with 3M tape.
6. Press the switch; the LED should work normally.

Tips: If you do not use this product, please turn off the battery box switch to prevent self-power consumption.
