MAINTENANCE OF YOUR NINJALINE™
Take down your NINJALINE™ when not in use for long periods of time, this will help prevent UV damage and
weathering of the line and unsupervised usage.
Store your line, obstacles and these instructions in the bag provided so you will have them handy the next time
your set up your course.
At the beginning of each play season
:
•
Tighten all hardware-
check the line, ratchet, Delta clips and all connections for any hint of looseness,
damage, deterioration, excess wear, rope fraying, breaks or sharp edges and replace as necessary. Repeat
this procedure twice a month during play season.
•
Lubricate all metallic parts:
Delta clips so they open and close smoothly. Line ratchet for smooth tightening
operation. Use a light grease or lubricatingoil. Repeat this procedure once a month during play season.
•
Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are loose, cracked, or
missing. Repeat this procedure twice a month during play season.
•
Check all wooden members for deterioration and splinters. Sand down splinters and replace deteriorating
wood members.
•
Check all moving parts:
including all grips for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace as needed.
•
Check metal parts for rust.
If found, sand and repaint using a nonlead-based paint.
•
Use only Slackers replacement parts.
•
X.3.1.1 Loose-Fill Materials:
X.3.1.1 Maintain a minimum depth of 20cm of loose-fill materials such as wood mulch/chips, engineered
wood fiber (EWF), or shredded/recycled rubber mulch for equipment up to 2.40m high; and 20cm of sand
or pea gravel for equipment up to 1.50m high. NOTE: An initial fill level of 30cm will compress to about a
20cm depth of surfacing over time. The surfacing will also compact, displace, and settle, and should be
periodically refilled to maintain a least a 20cm depth.
Once a month during play season:
•
Check all moving parts:
including all grips for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace as needed.
•
Perform the
Load Stress test.
•
If using a step ladder or other platform, inspect it every month for looseness, stability & wear.
Twice a month during play season:
•
Rake and check depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain
appropriate depth. Replace asnecessary.
At the end of each play season or when the temperature drops below 0° C:
Inspect all parts for
wear/damage. Replace before next season of use.
•
Take down your entire NINJALINE setup and clean with a mild soap and water solution. Let dry and then
store indoors.
