RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (THE “RECORD”)
Thoroughly inspect the back rest before putting it into service. Record the condition and appearance
of each of the components, including fasteners. Thoroughly photograph the back rest from multiple
angles. Include close range photographs of all labels and fasteners. Collate all photographs and
writings into a single file. This file is a record of the back rest in satisfactory condition. Compare the
results of all inspections to this Record to determine whether the back rest is in satisfactory condition.
Do not use the back rest unless it is in satisfactory condition. Purely cosmetic changes, like damaged
paint or powdercoat, are not changes from satisfactory condition. However, touchup paint should be
applied as soon as damage occurs.
INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
Compare your observations to the RECORD to determine if a component is in satisfactory
condition. Do not use the product unless every component is in satisfactory condition. Cosmetic
changes, like damaged paint/powder coat do not constitute changes from satisfactory condition.
However, touchup paint should be applied to all affected areas as soon as damage occurs. Contact
TECHNICAL SERVICE (contact information appears on the cover page) to order replacement parts.
At least once per week
1. Check the surface of the product for dirt or other matter. Clean the surfaces.
2. Examine hardware & fasteners (nuts, washers, bolts). Replace hardware that is damaged, worn, or
rusty/corroded hardware.
3. Examine frame elements for substantial wear, breaks, corrosion/rusting, damage, and metal
fatigue.
4. Check all labels. Replace a label that is damaged, missing, or not easily readable.
5. Examine the whole structure for severe rusting/metal erosion, rot, thinned regions. If rusting is
purely superficial, remove the rust/corrosion with a steel bristle brush or steel wool. Clean the
affected area and apply touchup paint. If rusting, rot, or thinning has weakened the material, contact
technical service for advice.
Maintain the product by restoring it to satisfactory condition before returning it to service.
