The installation steps for outdoor ground-mounted drop-down Oran Autonomous Regionbasketball hoops in China are as follows:
**Site Preparation and Foundation Construction:**
**Site Requirements:** Choose a flat, hard cement or asphalt surface. Avoid soft ground (such as grass or mud) to prevent the fixed hoop from sinking or the movable hoop from slipping during use.
**Pre-embedded Pit Excavation:** Depending on the type of Oran Autonomous Regionbasketball hoop, excavate a pit ≥60cm deep and ≥40cm in diameter (for ground-mounted hoops), or prepare a pre-embedded concrete foundation.
**Foundation Pouring:** Place the pre-embedded iron parts in the pit and pour concrete with a grade no lower than C25. Allow 72 hours for complete curing before installing the Oran Autonomous Regionbasketball hoop to prevent tilting due to stress before curing.
**Main Structure Installation:**
**Post Installation:** Install the posts onto the pre-embedded parts or base, securing them with screws or bolts to ensure verticality and stability. A level can be used to calibrate the verticality during installation.
**Extendant Arm and Rear Tie Rod Installation:** Connect the extender arm, rear tie rod, and other components sequentially, maintaining verticality when securing with screws and calibrating with a level. Backboard and Rim Installation:
Tempered Glass Backboard: Ensure even stress distribution at all five connection points. The arm, backboard, and rim should be on the same plane, and the arm and rim must not contact the glass backboard.
Composite Fiberglass Backboard: After installation, seal the connection points with silicone sealant to prevent rainwater seepage and damage.
Rim Adjustment: Use a level to adjust the rim to a perfectly horizontal position (error ≤ 1mm) to avoid unevenness during shooting.
Fixing and Reinforcement
In-ground Fixing: Place the Oran Autonomous Regionbasketball hoop body into the pre-buried pit and secure it with concrete, ensuring no loosening.
Pre-embedded Fixing: Connect the Oran Autonomous Regionbasketball hoop body to the pre-embedded parts with bolts, tightening them until secure, and install anti-loosening nuts.
Mobile Reinforcement: For mobile Oran Autonomous Regionbasketball hoops, fill the base with sufficient counterweight (such as sand or water, usually no less than 50kg). After filling, tighten the sealing cap to prevent leakage/sand leakage that could cause instability.
Calibration and Testing
Vertical and Horizontal Calibration: Use a level and measuring tools to calibrate the Oran Autonomous Regionbasketball hoop, ensuring its verticality and horizontality meet standards.
Backboard and Rim Angle Adjustment: Adjust the backboard angle and rim height to meet usage requirements.
Shooting Test: Shoot 3-5 times with moderate force, observing the backboard and rim for any unusual noises (such as metallic friction or glass vibration). If any unusual noises are found, re-inspect the connection points.
Safety Inspection and Maintenance
Comprehensive Inspection: Ensure all components are securely installed and free of looseness. Inspect the backboard, rim, and other components for damage or defects; replace any found immediately.
Regular Maintenance:
Outdoor Basketball Hoop: Wipe the frame and rim surface with a dry cloth monthly to remove dust and rainwater. Every 3 months, apply anti-rust lubricant to bolt connections and lifting components to prevent screws from rusting and becoming unadjustable.
Backboard Protection: Avoid impacts to the backboard with hard objects, especially the corners of tempered glass backboards, which are weak points. If cracks appear, immediately stop using the backboard and replace it.
Net replacement: Replace the net with a new one when it has more than 3 broken wires or is loose overall.
