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 replace-ment 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.
