Maintenance Tips

• Inspect automatic base control system regularly to ensure smooth lift/lower operation and check for any unusual resistance during height changes (7.5’–10’ range).
• Check self-lubricating pivot points and chrome steel axles for smooth motion and ensure no debris buildup affects movement.
• Verify caster wheels (8” x 2”) are clean and unobstructed to maintain safe floor-friendly transport and easy repositioning.
• Inspect rear safety hold-down system and locator pins before each use to maintain full stability during play and storage.
• Tighten all structural bolts on beam, uprights, and base frame periodically to prevent vibration loosening in high-impact environments.
• Clean 72” tempered glass backboard with a soft cloth and mild cleaner to preserve visibility and rebound consistency.
• Check breakaway rim and padding for wear or fatigue and replace if spring tension or padding integrity is reduced.
• Inspect base ballast containment system to ensure it remains secure and evenly balanced for safe operation (unit weighs over 2,600 lbs).
• Keep stored position clear (84”+ doorway clearance required) to avoid structural contact damage during transport.
• Store indoors only and avoid outdoor exposure, as the system is not warranted for outdoor use and moisture can damage mechanical components.
