• Check for tears, compression damage, or UV wear on the padding material and replace if protective integrity is reduced.
• Clean the exterior surface with a mild soap solution and soft cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and outdoor buildup.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can degrade the protective vinyl covering.
• Ensure the pad remains properly aligned and fully covers all four sides of the 6" square pole.
• Re-tighten or re-secure straps periodically, especially after impacts or heavy use.
• Allow the pad to dry completely after cleaning or rain exposure to prevent moisture retention and material breakdown.
