Techie!!

Proper Operation:

When operating properly, the backboard will raise from the storage
(down) position to playing (up) position in seconds. Push-button
must be depressed to operate. Mechanism holds position when lift
power is interrupted.

Pressure Adjustment:
If the backboard lifting speed should be operating improperly
(slowly or not at all), with motor and pump operating, it will
probably need a pressure adjustment
The pressure valve protrudes from the top of the hydraulic pump
housing. Turning the slotted valve clockwise increases hydraulic
pressure. Turn 1/8 turn at a time until backboard lifts to playing
position in seconds. Secure proper position of pressure adjustment
screw with lock-nut.

NOTE: This pressure adjustment is made by the manufacturer - field
adjustment is uncommon.

Stop-10 Adjustment:
This adjustment is located on the same side as control panel on the
front bottom-left of the mast.

Its a operation procedure of some mechanism.Where is this used?

hmm...mechanical lift for diving boards?
but it says before "playing (up) position"

So i guess not!

Nice guess.. this is actually the hydraulic control of the NBA backboard which protects it from coming down like what happened to shaq!!
