Inspections and Maintenance:
Written record — before using the product for the first time, make a written record of its
appearance. Describe the condition of the frame, hardware, and mechanisms. Take photographs of
each feature and add them to the record. Take photographs of all labels applied to the product.
Describe where each label is located. This record establishes normal condition.
When conducting the following inspections, compare your observations to the record to determine if
a component is in normal condition. Do not use the product unless every component is in normal
condition. Cosmetic changes, like damaged paint/powder coat do not constitute changes from normal
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.
Before each use — perform the following inspections.
1. Check the surface of the product for dirt or other matter. Clean the surfaces.
2. Examine hardware & fasteners, including but not limited to bolts, nuts, and pins. Replace damaged,
worn, or corroded hardware.
3. Examine frame elements for excessive wear, breakages, corrosion/rusting, damage, and metal
fatigue.
4. Check all labels (see “Labeling diagram” below). Replace labels that are damaged 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.
Labeling Diagram:
The unit should be labeled as shown in the diagram. However, label content and locations are
subject to change so your product might not be labeled exactly as shown. Replace all labels that are
damaged, missing, or not easily readable (e.g. faded). To order replacement labels, contact the
technical service and parts department online at
