The life of your basketball system depends on many variables. The climate,
exposure to corrosives such as salt, pesticides, or herbicides, and excessive use
or misuse can all contribute to pole failure, which may cause property damage
or personal injury.
Check your basketball system frequently for loose hardware, excessive wear, and
signs of corrosion. For safety reasons, and to prolong the life of your basketball
system, you must take the following preventive measures.
a. Check all Nuts and Bolts. If any are loose, tighten them.
b. Check all parts for excessive wear and tear. If necessary, replace any parts that
have been worn or damaged through usage. Check the Pole Cap for cracks
or tears that could let water into the pole. Contact our Customer Service
Department for replacement parts.
c. Inspect the Warning Sticker on the pole. If it is ripped, faded, or illegible, call
our Customer Service Department to request a replacement Sticker.
d. Check all pole sections for visible rust or chipped or cracked paint. If either are
present, do the following:
1. Use an emery cloth to completely remove any rust or chipped paint.
2. Clean the area with a damp cloth and allow it to dry.
3. Apply two coats of a rust preventative, high gloss enamel paint to the
area. Allow the paint to dry between coats.
IF RUST HAS PENETRATED THROUGH THE POLE ANYWHERE,
REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY!
