Maintenance Tips
-
Secure ballast: fill each freestanding base with the proper steel ballast (up to ~800 lbs) per manual to ensure stability and safe play.
-
Inspect net & cables before each use; tighten tension and check for fraying or wear to maintain consistent play.
-
Clean poles & hardware with mild soap and water; dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion, especially after heavy use.
-
Check padding & antennae regularly; ensure they’re firmly attached and free of tears for player safety.
-
Lubricate moving parts (winch and adjustment hardware) lightly as needed to ensure smooth height adjustments.
-
Store indoors or cover when not in use to protect finish, net, and padding from UV exposure and moisture.
-
Avoid playing in high winds or unstable surfaces; ensure flat, debris‑free court setup for optimal safety.
-
Inspect uprights and base fittings periodically for tightness and structural integrity; tighten loose bolts before use.
