The device described in this manual is the NET PLAYZ SOCCER SPEEDY PLAYZ SMALL Instant Portable Soccer Goal, model number NOS036. It is designed as a portable and instant setup soccer goal, suitable for recreational use.
Function Description:
The primary function of this device is to provide a quick and easy-to-assemble soccer goal for various settings, such as backyards, parks, or training fields. Its "instant portable" nature suggests a design focused on convenience, allowing users to set it up and take it down with minimal effort and time. The goal serves as a target for soccer practice, casual games, or skill development. The design incorporates fiberglass poles and a net, which are common components for lightweight and portable sports equipment. The inclusion of "U" style ground pegs indicates that the goal is intended to be secured to the ground for stability during use, preventing it from tipping over or moving due to impacts from soccer balls or wind. The assembly instructions detail a process that involves extending fiberglass poles, securing clips, inserting poles into sleeves, fastening the net with snaps, and connecting straps for tension, all contributing to its functional stability and readiness for play.
Important Technical Specifications:
While specific dimensions (e.g., width, height, depth) are not explicitly stated in the provided pages, the "SMALL" designation in its name suggests it is a compact size, likely suitable for younger players or smaller playing areas. The parts list provides a breakdown of the components:
- Fiberglass Poles: Two types are included – 2 pieces of one type and 4 pieces of another. These poles form the structural frame of the goal, offering flexibility and lightweight support.
- "L" Shape Connector: 1 piece. This connector likely helps form the corners or specific structural junctions of the goal frame.
- "U" style Ground Peg: 4 pieces. These pegs are crucial for anchoring the goal to the ground, ensuring stability during play.
- Net: 1 piece. This is the main netting component that catches the soccer ball. The illustrations show a standard grid pattern for the net.
The materials, primarily fiberglass for the poles, indicate a design choice for durability, flexibility, and light weight, which are essential for portability. The plastic clips and snaps are likely made from durable plastic to withstand repeated assembly and disassembly.
Usage Features:
The NET PLAYZ SOCCER SPEEDY PLAYZ SMALL goal emphasizes ease of use, both in setup and takedown.
- Instant Setup: The "Instant Portable" claim is supported by the assembly instructions, which detail a straightforward process. Users extend fiberglass poles, secure them with plastic clips, insert them into the net's sleeves, and then fasten the net to the poles using snaps. Straps are used to adjust tension for a tight fit, which is important for the net's performance and the goal's overall stability.
- Portability: The design, utilizing lightweight fiberglass poles and a foldable net, allows for easy transport and storage. The "How To Fold Up" section illustrates a process of releasing clips, sliding poles together, and collecting/folding the net, suggesting it collapses into a compact form. The "Extend the Goal" section further demonstrates the quick expansion from a folded state.
- Stability: The inclusion of "U" style ground pegs is a key feature for ensuring the goal remains stable during use, preventing it from shifting or falling over, especially during active play or in windy conditions. The instruction to "Connect the straps and adjust the tension for a tight fit" also contributes to the goal's structural integrity and stability once assembled.
- Adult Supervision: A critical usage feature highlighted in the "NOTICE!" section is that the product should "Always assemble and disassemble the product under adult supervision." This underscores the importance of safety, especially given that it's a sports item.
- Pre-Use Check: Users are advised to "Check the equipment before each time use it" and to "stop assembling or disassembling it" if any breakage is found. This promotes safe and responsible usage.
- Choking Hazard Warning: The product contains small parts and is "Not suitable for children under 3 years," indicating that while it's a children's product, it has age-specific safety considerations.
Maintenance Features:
The manual provides several implicit and explicit maintenance-related instructions and warnings, primarily focused on ensuring the longevity and safe operation of the goal.
- Proper Assembly and Disassembly: Following the instructions carefully is crucial for maintenance. Improper handling during assembly or disassembly can lead to damage to the fiberglass poles, clips, or net. The note "To avoid damaging the fiberglass poles, make sure the straps are pulled tight" during setup is a specific maintenance tip to prevent stress on the poles.
- Regular Inspection: Users are instructed to "Check the equipment before each time use it." This routine inspection helps identify any wear, tear, or damage early, allowing for timely intervention before minor issues escalate.
- Damage Prevention: The warning "Any breakage found on the product, please stop assembling or disassembling it" is a direct maintenance instruction to prevent further damage and ensure safety. Continuing to use a damaged product could lead to more extensive damage or injury.
- Storage: While not explicitly detailed, the "How To Fold Up" section implies that proper folding and storage in a compact form would protect the components from environmental damage and physical stress when not in use.
- Warranty Information: The "LIMITED WARRANTY (USA)" section outlines the terms under which the product is covered for defects in workmanship and materials for 90 days. This provides a framework for addressing manufacturing defects, which is a form of maintenance support from the manufacturer. It also lists situations not covered by the warranty, such as "improper usage, negligence, misuse, abuse, transportation, acts of nature or accident," which implicitly guides users on how to maintain the product to keep it within warranty terms. "Modified or repaired by anyone not authorized by TGU" also suggests that unauthorized repairs could void the warranty, emphasizing the importance of proper maintenance channels.
- Customer Service: The provision of a customer service email (service@trigreatusa.com) allows users to seek assistance for missing parts or defects, which is a key aspect of product support and maintenance.
- Feedback Encouragement: The manual encourages customers to leave reviews, which, while not direct maintenance, can indirectly contribute to product improvement and thus better long-term maintenance characteristics in future iterations.
In summary, the NET PLAYZ SOCCER SPEEDY PLAYZ SMALL Instant Portable Soccer Goal is a user-friendly, lightweight, and stable soccer goal designed for quick setup and takedown, with clear instructions and warnings to ensure safe and durable use.
