Maintenance Tips

• Clean the tempered glass regularly with a soft cloth and gentle glass cleaner to remove fingerprints, dust, and smudges.

• Avoid abrasive cleaners, scrubbers, or harsh chemicals that can scratch or dull the glass surface.

• Inspect mounting hardware and frame periodically; tighten any loose bolts to maintain secure installation.

• Check for signs of frame corrosion or wear, especially in high‑use or moisture‑prone environments.

• Do not hang on the rim or net excessively, as extreme stress can damage the glass. (general best practice)

• Maintain good indoor ventilation to reduce humidity and protect backboard frame components.

• Clean any aluminum frame with mild soap and water; dry thoroughly after cleaning.

• If used with padding, ensure padding stays clean, dry, and securely bolted to the frame to prevent wear.

• Address any scratches or surface damage promptly to prevent further deterioration.
