Maintenance:

If such corrosion occur on stainless steel parts, they are fine to

remove with an abrasive (240 grit).
Please take care when transporting and setting up the fact that the components are
made of stainless steel with no „normal“ steel parts in contact.
In order to preserve a good visual appearance of your stilum playground equipment
over a long period one should take care of maintenance of the stainless surface
even despite of their corrosion resistance.
Especially areas, which can not be reached by rainfall should be frequently cleaned
from dirt and deposits due to air pollution and dirt caused by the atmosphere.
Light soiling can easily be romoved by using a high pressure cleaner.
For persistent deposits use a clean cloth moistened with a special liquid cleaner

(e.g. on phosphoric acid) and rinse off with clear water after a short application

time. During cleaning with mild abrasive components, only wipe over stainless steel
surface in polishing direction.
For heavily soiled surfaces, polishes can be used (e.g. for cleaning chrome on
cars) or for greasy and oily dirt alcoholic cleaning agents and solvents (e.g. ethyl
alcohol, isopropyl alcohol or acetone). However, it should be noted that the dissol-
ved soiling is not spread over the surface again.
Do not use any chlorid or hydrochloric containing cleaning products nor scouring
powder, bleaching - or silver polish cleaner. Cleaning intervals depend on type and
degree of soiling as well as on demands made on optical characteristics. Therefore
cleaning is advisable at intervals of six to twelve months – whereby in the case of
strong soiling it is appropriate to clean the playground equipment at intervals of
three to six months.

WOOD

NOTE:

For all play equipment with wooden elements, it cannot be ruled out that

dry cracks may develop.
These natural changes of wood are dependent on climate conditions as well as on
the age and usage of the play equipment. Longer dry periods may lead to more dry
cracks.

This development, however, does not represent a quality defect. Static properties
of the equipment are not impaired.

See EN 1176 Bbl 1:2019-01 4.2.7.6: Dry cracks in wood elements as a conse-
quence of weather conditions are not to be considered as dangerous openings in
terms of the standard due to the fact that the shape of the cracks (tapering towards

the inside) makes it almost impossible for fingers to get trapped in them.

MAINTENANCE:

To ensure a long life of stilum playground equipment, wooden

surfaces should be regularly re-glazed. This provides the wooden surfaces with the
necessary protection and preserves the look. Areas which are not exposed to rain
should be regularly freed from deposits.

The cleaning intervals depend on the degree and type of soiling as well as on the
exigencies on cleanliness. It is recommended to clean and / or glaze at every 6
to 12 months, or to shorten the cleaning interval to 3 to 6 months if the wheather
conditions are bad.

LASUR:

Use a soft and flat brush or / and a glaze application roll to paint.

The wood should be cleaned a few hours before glazing. That can be done with

mild javel water, which should in any case be rubbed off afterwards. For resistant

dirt use a wood cleaner. Eventually a light abrasion is necessary. If water-based
detergents are used for cleaning, please ensure that the wood elements are tho-
roughly dried before the glazing is done.
Always brush in one direction, so that the glaze can spread evenly. Apply very
thinly!
Remove glaze with a soft cotton cloth.
Then let the freshly glazed wood dry for at least one day and prohibit the use of the
equipment for this duration.
