MAINTENANCE

The longevity of your Ball Hog basketball system depends on several variables. 
The climate in which it is installed, exposure to corrosives such as salt, chemicals 
including but not limited to herbicides and pesticides as well as organic materials 
can all contribute to deterioration.

For safety reasons the following should be checked on a regular basis.

• 

Clean both sides of the backboard as needed with only a clean 100% cotton 
cloth and regular household glass cleaner.

• 

Inspect all nuts and bolts and tighten as necessary.

• 

Inspect the entire assembly for chipped paint and signs of rust.  It’s not 
uncommon for parts to be mishandled during the unpacking and installation 
process.  If rust should appear, remove any loose paint, lightly sand the area, 
apply a quality primer and paint with a quality exterior gloss protective 
enamel such as Rust-Oleum.

• 

Inspect the base of the pole for organic materials such as mulch, grass 
clippings, top soil etc. as these items will trap moisture potentially damaging 
the paint.

• 

The Ball Hog height adjustment mechanism “jack” is pre-lubricated and built 
in such a way that the internal components are shielded.  No post installation 
lubrication is necessary.

• 

The goal should not be adjusted above or below the heights indicated on 
the height adjustment decal.  All adjustments should be made under adult 
supervision.
