Your kit comes with 2 Base Strips & 2 Traction Pads. You lace the Base Strips onto your shoes once and they stay on your shoe. The Traction Pads slide onto the Base Strips for use and off the Base Strips for cleaning.
To separate the Traction Pads from the Base Strips:
Firmly squeeze both side tabs with one hand and use the other hand to slide the Traction Pad off the Base Strip.
(This is very easy once you do it a few times)

How to install court grabbers

Securing the Base Strip to your shoes
1. Remove the laces from your shoe, leaving just the bottom lace still in the eyelets. 2. Hold the Base Strip with the arrow on the surface of the Base Strip pointing to the toe of the shoe. (The end with the raised rails goes closest to the toe) Pass each lace through the farthest outside opening of the bottom Securing Band. Continue lacing like you normally would. When you pass through the lacing eyelet on the shoe that is even with the top Securing Band, pass the laces through the farthest opening, and continue lacing as normal. 3. The Base Strip should now be secure and flat on the laces of the shoe, with the rails on top. You can move the Base Strip up and down on the laces by starting higher on the laces. The Base Strip stays on your shoe permanently. Always keep the rails clear of any debris. |

Applying Traction Gel to the Traction Pad
MORE GEL DOES NOT MEAN MORE TRACTION-LESS IS BETTER
Open the spout on the bottle of Court Grabbers® Traction Gel. While holding a Traction Pad in one hand with the cloth facing up, or directly to the Traction Pad secured to the shoe, tilt the bottle and gently apply three light lines of Traction Gel the length of the Traction Pad.
The length of the Traction Pad cloth should be slightly moist, never “wet”. Never apply more than 3 light lines of gel.
*Do not squeeze the bottle. Apply just enough pressure to allow the Traction Gel to “fall” out of the bottle onto the Traction Pad
If your Court Grabbers® are losing effectiveness, use the next break in action to reapply the Traction Gel. With practice, you’ll be able to do this while the Traction Pad is on your shoe. Always apply Traction Gel off the court.
Securing Traction Pad to the Base Strip
Slide the Traction Pad onto the Base Strip, (narrowest end of the cloth slides in first) Make sure that the lip slides into the rails on the side of the Base Strip, and locks in place. You will hear a slight “click” when the two tabs are correctly secured in the openings of the rails.
Wiggle the Traction Pad to make sure it’s securely locked in place before using Court Grabbers.

Using Court Grabbers on the court
Before entering the court, lightly wipe the bottom of each shoe across the Traction Pad of the opposite shoe. To renew traction while on the court, lightly wipe your shoes on the opposite Traction Pad and you’ll instantly restore fresh, high performance traction.
*When the Traction Pad dries and is not restoring traction, applying 2 light lines of Traction Gel will restore the pad’s effectiveness.

How to care for your Court Grabbers®
Cleaning your Traction Pads will greatly extend their life and performance. Court Grabbers® can be cleaned in a washer and dryer. (Traction Pad only-- Base Strips stay laced to your shoe permanently) Keeping the cloth clean will extend the life of the Traction Pad. For best results, clean the Traction Pads every 2 uses and especially before games.
* Dirty Traction Pads will not efficiently absorb the Traction Gel which greatly reduces the effectiveness of the system.
If not cleaned, thedirt and dust will act like sandpaper and wear out the Traction Pad.
* To avoid accidental separation of the Traction Pad and Base Strip, practice applying the Traction Gel while the Traction Pad is on your shoe. Separate only after use and for cleaning.
*Do not use the Traction Pads without applying Traction Gel. A dry Traction Pad will fray and wear out much faster.
