Maintenance Tips
-
Check base ballast regularly (350 lbs factory fill or equivalent) to ensure maximum stability and prevent tipping.
-
Inspect wheels and base frame for cracks, flat spots, or movement issues before transporting.
-
Tighten all pole and bracket bolts periodically to maintain structural rigidity during play.
-
Clean the graphite backboard with mild soap and water—avoid abrasives that can dull the surface.
-
Test height-adjustment mechanism (QwikChange pole system) to ensure smooth 7.5'–10' operation without sticking.
-
Lubricate adjustment points lightly if resistance develops, especially in outdoor environments.
-
Check rim and net condition for wear, rust, or bending after heavy use or dunks.
-
Store or cover during extreme weather to reduce UV damage, rust risk, and material fatigue.
