- Fill the Base:
Once the main structure is assembled, fill the base with either water (approximately 12 gallons / 100 lbs) or sand (approximately 160 lbs) for maximum stability. This step is crucial for safety and performance.
- Adjust Height:
Adjust the hoop to the desired height (between 5 and 7 feet) using the telescoping mechanism. Secure the pole at the chosen height using the locking pin or knob. Refer to the Operating section for detailed height adjustment.

Operating Instructions
Height Adjustment
The PEXMOR basketball goal system features a telescoping height adjustment mechanism, allowing the rim height to be set between 5 feet and 7 feet. This makes it suitable for various ages and skill levels.
- Locate the height adjustment knob or pin on the main pole.
- Loosen or remove the locking mechanism.
- Carefully slide the upper pole section up or down to the desired height. Ensure the adjustment holes align.
- Re-insert and tighten the locking mechanism securely. Verify the pole is stable before use.
Portability
The base is equipped with two wheels for easy transportation. To move the system:
- Ensure the base is securely filled to maintain stability during movement.
- Carefully tilt the system by lifting the back of the base until it rests on the wheels.
- Roll the system to the desired location.
- Gently lower the base back onto the ground, ensuring it is stable before use.

Maintenance
- Check Fasteners: Regularly inspect all bolts, nuts, and screws. Tighten any loose fasteners to ensure structural integrity.
- Base Content: Periodically check the water or sand level in the base and refill as needed, especially after prolonged use or exposure to weather.
- Cleaning: Clean the backboard and pole with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Net Replacement: The nylon net is weather-resistant but may wear over time. Replace the net if it becomes damaged or frayed. Two nets are included with the product.
- Winter Storage: If storing outdoors in freezing temperatures, empty the water from the base to prevent cracking. Alternatively, store the entire system indoors.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Hoop is unstable or wobbly. | Base not sufficiently filled; loose fasteners. | Ensure the base is completely filled with water or sand. Check and tighten all bolts and nuts. |
| Difficulty adjusting height. | Locking mechanism is stuck or misaligned; pole sections are not lubricated. | Ensure the locking mechanism is fully disengaged. Check for any obstructions. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the telescoping pole sections if movement is stiff. Ensure holes align. |
| Backboard or rim feels loose. | Mounting hardware is loose or improperly installed. | Re-check all connections between the backboard, rim, and pole. Tighten all bolts securely. |
