Maintenance

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and connections to ensure they are tight. Tighten any loose hardware to maintain stability and safety.
• Base Content: Regularly check the water or sand level in the base, especially after heavy use or strong winds. Refill as necessary to maintain optimal stability.
• Cleaning: Clean the backboard and pole with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the backboard or damage the finish.
• Rust Prevention: The pole is made of rust-proof RECC steel, but regular cleaning and inspection can further extend its lifespan, especially in humid or coastal environments.
