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!
