BASKETBALL SET | MAINTENANCE AND CARE & SAFE USE
Improper use or lack of care can lead to your Basketball
Set deteriorating earlier than expected. Please follow all
of these care instructions to ensure that your Basketball Set
lasts for as long as possible.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Metal Rust and Corrosion
• Be aware of areas that are particularly prone to rusting:
- Places where water is easily trapped.
- Hollow sections of steel (which can appear in good
condition on the outside, while hiding rust on the inside).
- Weld lines.
- Sections where different metal components join together.
• Inspect the inside of the tubing every 6 months, and
remove any water. Check tube and pole connection areas
for rust.
• Use general purpose grease on steel connection areas to
reduce the chance of corrosion.
• Avoid excessively cleaning steel components; it may
reduce the effectiveness of our protective coatings.
Textile deterioration
• Clean your hoop with a soft sponge only to avoid tearing
or cutting the material.
• Avoid using powerful soaps or detergents; they can
damage the hoop.
• Wipe dry any water used to clean the hoop with an
absorbent cloth; do not leave the hoop to dry in the sun.
WEATHER CARE
Cover or remove your Basketball Set when not in use.
Long-term exposure to the elements may fade the
material on the hoop.
Disassemble your Basketball Set and store
during inclement weather. The additional weight
on a trampoline’s Net Poles can increase the
chance of your Safety Net becoming damaged.
STORAGE
Store in a cool, dry place in the original packaging.
