10 Monthly maintenance
10.1 Check the spaces between the equipment and the ground (clearance and
height of fall).
10.2 Check the ground surface of fall protection for hard objects and loose
foundations.
10.3 Check all connecting elements and fittings for wear and tear and tighten
if necessary. Replace damaged or missing parts.
10.4 Check that moving metal parts (joints, springs, etc.) move smoothly and
are not worn. Replace if necessary. It is not necessary to lubricate joints
as we only use maintenance-free metal roller bearings.
10.5 Check all attachments such as chains, ropes, nets, etc. for damage and
replace if necessary.
10.6 Check rubber parts, sleeves, etc. for wear and tear or damage and
replace if necessary.
10.7 If necessary, remove excess padding material from the post footings due
to danger of rotting.
10.8 Check the surface of wooden parts for damage caused by the weather or
external influences and mould. Repair or replace if necessary.
10.9 Check the surface of plastic and metal parts, e.g. slides, for damage and
replace if necessary.

11.1 Detailed inspection of the operation and stability of the equipment
paying particular attention to any wear and tear.
11.2 Tighten all forms of attachment.
11.3 Repaint and retreat surfaces.

12 Half yearly maintenance
12.1 The stability of supporting posts, supports, foundations etc. has to be
checked. The safety level of the entire system has to be checked after
