Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Pop-A-Shot game, regular maintenance is recommended. Keep the unit clean by wiping down surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. The steel frame is powder-coated to resist rust and chipping, but prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions should be avoided. When not in use, especially for extended periods, fold the unit for storage to protect it from dust and damage.

Troubleshooting
- Inaccurate Scoring: If the sensors are not counting correctly, check the alignment of the nets. Ensure they are installed correctly and do not obstruct the infrared sensors located below the rims. Incorrect net installation is a common cause for scoring issues.
- LCD Display Malfunction: If the LCD display shows incomplete numbers or segments, contact customer support for assistance.
- Balls Losing Air: The included basketballs may require occasional reinflation. Use a standard ball pump with a needle to maintain proper air pressure.
- Power Issues: Ensure the AC adapter is securely plugged into both the unit and a working power outlet, or that fresh AA batteries are correctly installed.
