- Alternative Mounting (Optional):
While primarily designed for over-the-door use, the backboard may have small holes for alternative mounting options like thumbtacks or nails if you wish to secure it to a wall. Exercise caution and ensure the mounting surface can support the hoop during play. This method is not officially recommended for heavy use.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the backboard and rim with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Net Care: Periodically check the net for any tears or loose fastenings. Re-secure or replace if necessary.

- Storage: The rim is foldable for convenient storage when not in use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong product life.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Basketball does not hold air. | Valve issue or puncture. | Ensure the pump needle is fully inserted and the valve is clean. If the ball is punctured, it may need replacement. |
| Hoop feels wobbly when mounted over the door. | Improper fit or door movement. | Ensure the door clamp is securely seated on the door. Avoid mounting on thin or unstable doors. Consider alternative wall mounting if stability is a concern (see Setup Instructions). |
| Net detaches from the rim. | Net not securely attached or excessive force during play. | Re-attach the net to all hooks. Avoid hanging on the rim or applying excessive downward force. |
