Maintenance Tips
-
Check Base Fill: Keep the Power Move® base filled with 55 gallons of water or sand; top up after evaporation or heavy weather to maintain stability and reduce tipping risk.
-
Tighten Hardware: Periodically inspect and tighten bolts, nuts, and fasteners (especially after heavy use) to prevent wobbling and ensure structural integrity.
-
Clean Backboard & Pole: Wipe the tempered glass backboard, rim, pole, and base with mild soap and water; avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch or dull surfaces.
-
Inspect Rim & Net: Look for bends in the Pro Image™ breakaway rim and replace the net if worn to keep performance reliable.
-
Winter Care: In freezing climates, drain the base or add non‑toxic antifreeze to prevent cracking from ice expansion; never use salt.
-
Move Carefully: Use the integrated four‑wheel system and handle to relocate safely; avoid tilting the full base forward when filled.
