Maintenance Tips
-
Clean the tempered glass surface regularly with a soft cloth and mild glass cleaner to remove fingerprints, dust, and smudges; avoid abrasives or harsh chemicals that can scratch the surface.
-
Wipe down the aluminum frame with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion and preserve the finish.
-
Inspect all mounting hardware, bolts, and brackets periodically; tighten any loose fasteners to maintain secure installation and structural integrity.
-
Avoid hanging on the rim or net, as extreme stress can damage the backboard or void warranty.
-
Check for corrosion or wear around metal parts, especially in outdoor environments; address minor rust promptly to protect longevity.
-
Use backboard padding if installed in high‑impact areas to reduce wear and protect the glass surface.
-
Maintain proper spacing when mounting the rim to prevent undue stress on the glass (allow a small gap per manufacturer installation specs).
-
Keep the area around the system free of debris and moisture to help prevent corrosion at contact points.
