Instructions for the professional inspection and maintenance of single point swings
o
Playground equipment is subject to a wide range of stresses and strains over the course of its
useful life, which can reduce or even eliminate the original safety. Regular inspection and
maintenance ensures that the required safety of playground equipment is maintained.
o
This maintenance manual contains all the instructions needed to perform the inspection tasks
and to comply with the inspection periods. It is assumed in this maintenance manual that the
playground equipment is installed in a normally frequented playground in normal surroundings. If
there are local factors that deviate from the normal, the inspection periods must be adjusted. This
may cause the time intervals specified by the manufacturer / distributor to be shortened. An ex-
tension of the time intervals is excluded as these are minimum requirements.
o
Among the local factors that require shortening of the inspection periods are, for example, loca-
tions with heavy use, e.g. schoolyards, kindergartens, amusement parks; location with high levels
of vandalism; locations near the coast; locations with air pollution; playground equipment increas-
ing age.
o
Furthermore, this maintenance manual assumes that the described inspections and maintenance
work will be carried out by personnel with suitable qualifications. Certain tasks (such as welding)
can only be performed by qualified professionals or require machining by the manufacturer / dis-
tributor.
o
The owner / operator of the playground should set up a suitable inspection plan for the play-
ground and document the inspections and maintenance performed there for the particular play-
ground equipment.
One-time maintenance work
Four weeks after installation, all screw connections must be checked and tightened if necessary. In this
case, the specified advice in the regular maintenance work e. g. to turning moments has to be observed.
Regular maintenance
1. Routine visual inspection
1.1.
1x weekly
(or different, determined by local factors)
Check the
minimum space
of the playground equipment for cleanliness.
Check
playground equipment
for consequences of
vandalism
, e. g. missing or damaged
components.
Check playground
equipment for the effects of
weather conditions
, eg. B. by storm or frost
2. Operational inspection
2.1.
1x monthly
(or different, determined by local factors)
Check for visibility of the warning groove
(red-colored ring on the swivel housing). If the
ring is visible in a horizontal direction, there is a need for repair. See appendix
"A1 Visual in-
spection of swivel at least once a month"
Testing
for
smoothness of running
. Relieve the swing platform and the universal joint from
load. To check the swivel is slowly put into rotation by hand. If the swivel rotates without an-
gular offset (well visible on the swing chains), it is fine and smooth of running.
Check
swing chains and connecting elements
for wear, replace if necessary. Please note
that the cylinder screws in the chain adapters are fastened hand-tight with a long Allen key or
a ratchet with a socket wrench, without over-tightening the hexagon socket.
Check plastic parts such as protective edges
, linings, sheathing, sleeves, etc. for loss,
signs of wear and damaged areas and replace if necessary.
