Maintenance
The life of your basketball goal system depends on many
variables. The climate, exposure to corrosives such as salt,
organic materials, pesticides, or herbicides, and excessive use
or misuse can all contribute to failure of the goal system, which
may cause property damage or personal injury. Before each
use, check the goal system for loose hardware, excessive wear,
abuse, or vandalism or signs of rust or corrosion.
For safety reasons, and to prolong the life of your basketball
system, you must take the following preventative measures:
• Check all nuts and bolts. Inspect the threads and replace if
necessary. If any are loose, tighten them.
• Check all parts for excessive wear and tear. If necessary,
replace any parts that have been worn or damaged through
usage.
• Check all sections of the goal system for visible rust or
chipped or cracked paint, and if present, repair appropriately.
See Paint Touch-Up on this page.
IF RUST OR CORROSION HAS PENETRATED ANY
COMPONENT, DO NOT ALLOW PLAY ON THE GOAL AND
REPLACE PARTS IMMEDIATELY.

Contact Ball Hog for replacement parts. Only use parts
provided by Ball Hog. Use of other parts (a) may cause the
goal system to fail, (b) could result in death, serious injury or
property damage, and (c) will void the warranty.
Inspect the Warning Sticker on the pole. If it is ripped, faded,
or illegible, contact Ball Hog to request a replacement Warning
Sticker.
Cleaning
The exterior finish of your Ball Hog
®
goal is designed for outdoor
environments and should only require periodic cleaning and
inspection for imperfections that could develop over time.
When cleaning is necessary, Ball Hog recommends using water
and a mild dish detergent applied with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners to clean the goal. Damage to the
finish may result.
Paint Touch-Up
Ball Hog uses a two-part acrylic-enamel paint on
the goals. With periodic inspection and service
when needed, the high-gloss finish is designed to
last for many years. A small bottle of black paint
with brush is provided in the hardware kit for
touch up of imperfections as they develop. If more
touch up is required, please contact Ball Hog .
Lubrication
The jack is pre-lubricated. As with any mechanical component,
periodic inspection and service is required. Ball Hog recommends
applying lubrication each spring and fall to keep a smooth
operation of the height actuator. Failure to do so could result in
jack failure and not be covered under warranty.
Remove lubrication panel and apply a liberal amount of
lubricating oil to the thrust bearing and jack screw.
IMPORTANT
A general-purpose lubricating oil like “3-in-1” or lightweight
motor oil is recommended. DO NOT use a penetrating oil
(i.e. WD40.) Contact Ball Hog for questions.
