Site Owners Maintenance
Obligations
Revision 1
Maintenance of your outdoor gym
The guarantee of your equipment, which you will need to sign and send back, is subject to routine
maintenance being carried out.
Maintenance methodology
• Checks
• Diagnosis
• Maintenance
• Replacements
During maintenance you may require additional grips and a selection of fixings, fastenings and
tools. In addition touch up paint is available. All replacements are available from The Great
Outdoor Gym Company. When maintenance is performed on a coastal site, non-ferrous tools must
be used. Maintenance work may also require work to be done on electrical equipment. You can
purchase new parts or signage by calling your representative or emailing us on maintenance@
tgogc.com
To validate the guarantee of the equipment TGO require the maintenance outlined below to
be carried out routinely. There is a basic daily/weekly/monthly inspection to be included in
maintainer’s duties. It is the main quarterly inspection that must be logged via the maintenance
log sheets. Records of quarterly maintenance logs must be retained for a minimum of 5 years by
the site owner.
In the unlikely event of equipment either breaking or becoming defective through normal wear
and tear, the site owner will need to make a warranty claim. Please ask TGO for an official claim
form. The warranty does not cover vandalism and is not valid unless quarterly maintenance has
been completed and evidenced by the completion of the maintenance log sheets. If equipment
needs to be removed, the equipment can be removed by the site owner and the site needs to be
made safe to prevent the creation of a trip hazard.
