Maintenance
All materials within the landing system have a limited anticipated lifetime and should be examined
on a regular basis. For your benefit, Gill Athletics puts a 10 year Warranty on your landing system.
If any failure occurs in the first ten years, under normal use and care, we will repair or replace the
damaged part. * (Essentials line includes a 5 year warranty.)
Vinyl or Mesh Components
Inspect weather cover, top pad, and mat covers for:
-missing carabiners, Velcro, handles, or zippers
-holes, rips, or tears in solid or mesh fabrics
Pit repair kits are available in red (#699R) or blue (#699B) to fix minor holes or tears in your landing system.
Foam Components
Foam should be checked at the start of every track season, observed throughout the year, and then
inspected again at the end of the season. If any foam components deform, come unglued, or shift
call Gill Athletics (800) 637-3090 for customer support.
*For warranty details and conditions, call Gill Athletics at the number listed below.
-It is best if mats rest on their side and are not stacked, however, many facilities don’t have the space.
Therefore, we recommend that when stacked, mats should be rotated periodically to prevent deformation.
Also, stack the mats uniformly to equally distribute the weight to prevent low spots in the foam.
-To prevent damage, the storage facility should be periodically checked for and protected against
rodent infestation. Interior cushioning foam and vinyl covers can be damaged by mice and other
rodents could potentially render the mats unsafe.
For landing systems left outside, the weather cover should be removed and set
somewhere out of the way where it is unlikely to get damaged. Pulling and folding
the cover off the backside of the system is a convenient way to keep it out of
the way.
For landing systems stored inside, follow the assembly instructions. Again, a flatbed carrier is
recommended to prevent wear and tear and makes transportation much easier by allowing you to
stack mats. DO NOT DRAG SECTIONS.
