Pegasi AnchorGel Instruction Manual

1. Introduction to Pegasi AnchorGel

Pegasi AnchorGel is an innovative polymer granular product designed to replace traditional weighting materials like water, sand, or gravel for various equipment bases. It provides a stable, frost-resistant, and leak-proof ballast solution.

Key benefits of AnchorGel include:

• Replaces water, sand, or gravel effectively.
• Resistant to freezing temperatures and punctures.
• Facilitates easy movement and storage of weighted items.
• Transforms into a stable gel ballast when mixed with water.

2. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to properly set up your equipment base with Pegasi AnchorGel:

1. Add AnchorGel: Pour the dry polymer granules into the empty base of your equipment (e.g., basketball hoop, umbrella stand). The quantity needed depends on the base's capacity and desired weight.
2. Add Water: Fill approximately 75% of the base with water, leaving some space for air and expansion.
3. Wait for Gel Formation: Allow 7 to 10 minutes for the AnchorGel granules to absorb the water and transform into a firm, stable gel ballast.
4. Final Fill (Optional): If necessary, add a small amount of additional water to top off the base once the gel has fully formed.

3. Operating Instructions

Once the AnchorGel has formed a stable ballast, your equipment is ready for use. The gel provides a secure and heavy base, preventing tipping or movement during activity.

AnchorGel is suitable for various applications, including but not limited to:

• Basketball Hoops
• Umbrella Stands
• Boxing & MMA Heavy Bags
• Poolside Volleyball Nets

4. Maintenance

AnchorGel is designed for minimal maintenance due to its inherent properties:

• Frost Resistance: Unlike water, AnchorGel is resistant to freezing, preventing damage to your equipment base during cold weather.
• Leak Resistance: The gel form significantly reduces the risk of leaks or punctures that can occur with water or sand.

For long-term storage or transportation of your equipment, the gel can be easily removed:

• Gel Removal: Add a small amount of common salt to the gel in the base. The salt will cause the gel to revert to a liquid state, allowing for easy drainage and removal.

5. Troubleshooting

Most issues with AnchorGel relate to initial setup or removal. Refer to the following for common concerns:

• Gel not forming: Ensure sufficient water has been added and allow the full 10 minutes for absorption. If the base is very large, more time might be needed.
• Base not stable enough: Verify the correct amount of AnchorGel was used for your specific equipment model. Refer to the specifications section for recommended quantities.
• Difficulty removing gel: Ensure enough salt is added to fully liquefy the gel. Stirring or shaking the base (if possible) can help distribute the salt.
