INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
The frequency of inspection and maintenance will vary with the type of equipment or
materials used or other factors (e.g. heavy use, levels of vandalism, coastal location, air
pollution, age of equipment, ...). Special attention should be given to the swing hooks,
rings, eights, plastic welds and ropes. Moving metal parts must be oiled regularly.
If these checks are not carried out the activity toy could overturn or otherwise become a
hazard.
It is of particular importance that the maintenance instructions be followed at the beginning
of each season as well as at regular intervals during the usage season.
Routine visual inspection (weekly to monthly)
- Always check that the bolts and nuts are securely fastened.
- Check the shock absorbing surface for objects that don't belong there.
- Check for missing parts.

Operational inspection (1 to 3 months)
- Check the stability of the construction.
- Check every part for excessive wear and replace when necessary.
Annual inspection (1 to 2 times per year)
- Check for rust and corrosion.
- Check every part for excessive wear and replace when necessary.
