4 MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Please keep for future reference
We recommend regular maintenance to be conducted at the beginning of each season as well as at regular
intervals during the usage session for your play equipment to ensure all main parts/fixings are tightly
secured, well-oiled and intact to avoid failure, injury or hazards.
GENERAL ADVICE
It is of particular importance that this is followed at the beginning of each season as well as at regular
intervals during the usage season.
1.
Check the accessories monthly as well as the play equipment’s structure in order to prevent falling
risks.
2. Check and retighten screws, bolts and all other hardware elements as necessary.
a. Do not over tighten to avoid damaging the thread or cracking the surrounding wood.
3. Check all coverings and bolts for sharp edges and replace when required.
4. Lubricate all moving metallic parts.
5. When signs of oxidation and / or rust appear on various metallic parts of your equipment, sand
rusted areas and tubular members and repaint using a non-lead based paint when required.
6. Where applicable: check swing seats, chains, ropes and other means of attachment for evidence of
deterioration.
7. Replace when required in accordance with the
owner’s manual.
If your play structure is disassembled, be sure to clearly mark any attached metal plates to prevent
accidents. Check all bolt covers and sharp edges and replace them if necessary.
For longer accessory life, we suggest storing them during the winter.
