Maintenance Tips

Clean the frame and rim hardware with a damp cloth and dry promptly to prevent corrosion or rust.
-
Inspect all mounting hardware, bolts, and frame connections periodically; tighten loose parts before use.
-
Keep base and pole areas clear of grass or organic debris that can trap moisture and accelerate corrosion.
-
Check for signs of rust or wear on metal components; remove light rust and repaint with exterior enamel if necessary.
-
Do not hang from the rim or backboard to avoid stress damage.
-
Ensure stability by filling the base (if portable) with the correct ballast (water/sand) and checking it before play.
-
After play, dry wet components and consider applying a protectant to metal surfaces for outdoor units.
