Maintenance Tips

• Clean After Each Use: Remove dirt, debris, and grass after every practice or game. Use a soft brush or a hose to rinse off the mound. Avoid using harsh chemicals or power washers that could damage the surface.

• Dry Thoroughly: After cleaning, allow the mound to air dry completely before storing it. Ensure it’s fully dry to prevent mold or mildew buildup.

• Proper Storage: Store the mound in a dry, cool area when not in use. Elevate it off the ground to avoid exposure to moisture, which could lead to damage or deterioration over time.

• Inspect for Damage: Regularly check the mound for signs of wear, such as cracks, holes, or scuff marks. If damage is noticed, repair it promptly to prevent further degradation. Use recommended repair materials or consult the manufacturer for guidance.

• Handle with Care: When moving the mound, use the handles for lifting and avoid dragging it across rough surfaces, as this could cause damage to both the mound and the turf.

• Protect from Extreme Conditions: Avoid leaving the mound in extreme weather conditions such as intense heat, freezing temperatures, or heavy rain, which could weaken the material. Store it in a sheltered spot when not in use.

• Check for Stability: Ensure the mound is stable and level before use. Double-check that it’s positioned securely on the field to prevent any shifting that could impact safety or performance during practice.

• Surface Wear Check: Monitor the pitching area for signs of wear from frequent use. If the surface becomes uneven or worn, address it immediately to ensure a safe, level pitching experience.

• Repair Minor Issues Promptly: For small punctures or tears, use an appropriate patching kit recommended by Portolite to maintain the mound’s integrity and safety.
