2. Safety Information
- Ensure all components are securely fastened before each use.
- Do not hang on the rim or backboard, except for intended dunking action on the spring-loaded rim. Excessive force can cause injury or damage.
- Always fill the base completely with water, sand, or gravel to ensure maximum stability. An improperly weighted base can lead to tipping.
- During severe weather conditions, such as strong winds or storms, position the basketball hoop in a sheltered area or lay it down to prevent damage or injury.
- Keep children away from the hoop during assembly and height adjustment.
- Regularly inspect the hoop for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts. Discontinue use if damage is found and contact support.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Height Adjustment
The Pegasi Dunk Pro features a Quick Power Lift adjustment system, allowing you to easily change the rim height from 230 cm (7.5 feet) to 305 cm (10 feet), the official regulation height. Locate the adjustment handle on the main pole and follow the instructions in your assembly manual to raise or lower the rim. Ensure the mechanism locks securely into place at your desired height before use.
5.2 Portability
The basketball hoop is designed for easy relocation. It is equipped with wheels integrated into the base. To move the hoop, tilt it slightly onto its wheels and roll it to the desired location. Always ensure the base is fully weighted before moving and after repositioning to maintain stability.
6. Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the backboard, rim, and pole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage surfaces.
- Check Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and screws to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain structural integrity.
- Base Content: If using water in the base, consider adding antifreeze in colder climates to prevent freezing and cracking. Regularly check the fill level and refill if needed.
- Net Replacement: The weather-resistant nylon net may eventually wear out. Replace it with a standard basketball net when necessary.
- Weather Protection: As mentioned in safety, during harsh weather, move the hoop to a sheltered area or lay it down to protect it from strong winds and heavy precipitation.
7. Troubleshooting
- Hoop Instability: If the hoop feels unstable, ensure the base is completely filled with water, sand, or gravel. Check that all pole sections are securely connected and all fasteners are tight.
- Difficulty Adjusting Height: Ensure the Quick Power Lift mechanism is clean and free of debris. Refer to the assembly manual for specific adjustment procedures. Do not force the mechanism.
- Damage from Weather: If the hoop has been exposed to severe weather, inspect all components for cracks, bends, or other damage. Discontinue use if significant damage is found.
