• Dry Thoroughly Before Storing: Ensure the mound is fully dry to prevent the growth of mold or mildew. Store the mound in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture. Avoid storing it outside in wet or humid conditions.

• Proper Storage: Store the mound in a cool, dry place when not in use, keeping it off the ground to protect it from moisture. If storing outdoors temporarily, ensure it is covered to protect it from rain or extreme weather.

• Inspect for Damage: Regularly check the mound for signs of wear such as cracks, holes, or frayed edges. If any damage is detected, address it immediately by using appropriate repair methods or contacting the manufacturer for assistance.

• Handle with Care: When moving the mound, avoid dragging it across rough or abrasive surfaces, as this can cause damage. Always lift the mound by the handles or from the sides to prevent unnecessary wear.

• Protect from Extreme Weather: Avoid exposing the mound to extreme temperatures or prolonged direct sunlight, which can weaken the material over time. Extreme cold or heat can cause the mound to crack or lose its shape.

• Ensure Stability: Before using the mound, place it on a level and stable surface. Make sure the mound is positioned securely to prevent any shifting during practice or games.

• Check the Pitching Surface: Monitor the pitching surface for wear from frequent use. If the surface becomes uneven or the material begins to degrade, take action to repair it promptly to maintain a safe and functional pitching area.
