Care and Maintenance
Page 14 of 17
The life of your basketball system depends on many
variables. The climate, exposure to corrosives such as
salt, pesticides or herbicides, and excessive use or
misuse can all contribute to pole failure, which may cause
property damage and/or personal injury.
Check your basketball system frequently for loose
hardware, excessive wear, and signs of corrosion. For
safety reasons, and to prolong the life of your basketball
system, you must take the following preventative
measures.
1. Check all nuts and bolts. If any are loose, tighten
them.
2. Check all parts for excessive wear and tear. If
necessary, replace any parts that have been worn or
damaged through usage. Contact our Customer Service
Department for replacement parts.
3. Inspect the warning sticker on the pole. If it is
ripped, faded, or illegible, call our Customer Service
Department to request a replacement sticker.
4. Check all pole sections for visible rust or chipped or
cracked paint. If either is present, do the following:
a) Use an emery cloth to completely remove any
rust or chipped paint.
b) Clean the area with a damp cloth and allow it to
dry.c) Apply two coats of a rust preventative, high gloss
enamel paint to the area. Allow the paint to dry between
coats.
