Check Base Fill: Verify the portable base is fully filled with water or sand regularly; this ensures stability and helps prevent tipping during play.
-
Inspect Hardware Often: Periodically check and tighten all bolts, nuts, and fasteners (especially after heavy use) to maintain structural integrity.
-
Clean Gently: Wipe the tempered glass backboard, pole, and base with mild soap and water; avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch surfaces.
-
Rim & Net Check: Inspect the Arena Slam® breakaway rim for bends and the net for wear; replace worn parts to preserve play quality.
-
Winterize: In freezing climates, empty or add non‑toxic antifreeze to the base to protect it from cracking due to ice expansion.
-
Move With Care: When relocating the system, use the PowerMove® wheels and handle, and avoid dragging or tilting excessively while filled.
