4. Setup and Installation
The Pegasi Basketball Return System is designed for quick and easy attachment to standard basketball hoops with a 45 cm diameter.
- Prepare the Hoop: Ensure your basketball hoop is clean and free from obstructions. The system is compatible with hoops of 45 cm diameter.
- Attach the System: Position the upper ring of the return system over the basketball rim. The plastic hooks on the return system are designed to securely grip the rim.

5. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Pegasi Basketball Return System operates automatically.
- Ball Return: When a basketball passes through the hoop, it will fall into the return chute and be directed back towards the player.
- Adjusting Position: The rebounder can be rotated 360 degrees around the hoop. To practice shots from different angles or to direct the ball to a specific spot, simply rotate the entire return system to the desired position.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the system with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: The system is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. For prolonged periods of non-use, especially in harsh weather conditions, storing the system indoors can extend its lifespan.
- Inspection: Periodically check the plastic hooks and the main chute for any cracks, breaks, or signs of fatigue.
7. Troubleshooting
- System feels loose: Ensure all plastic hooks are fully engaged around the basketball rim. Re-adjust if necessary.
- Ball not returning consistently: Check for any obstructions in the chute. Ensure the system is not tilted or misaligned.
- Difficulty rotating: Ensure there are no obstructions preventing rotation. The system should rotate smoothly around the rim.
