MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST
®
Maintaining your playground equipment as well as its surrounding area is essential to minimizing the risk of injury to users as well as
maximizing its useful lifespan. UltraPlay recommends the following maintenance prodedures be followed:
On a daily basis:
A responsible individual should conduct a brief visual check for structural defects, signs of vandalism and litter of foreign
matter that needs to be removed.
On a weekly basis:
A responsible individual should complete this checklist. Any required repairs should be detailed on the separate
Detailed Maintenance Record,
and once they are completed, both should be fi led for future reference. A separate fi le
and form should be kept for each play strucure at each location.
IMPORTANT:
Always refer to - and comply with - the separate Safety Guidelines and ASTM and CPSC Guidelines. The play structure(s)
should be barricaded so that it cannot be used while repairs are being completed.
