EQUIPMENT & MAINTENANCE
When it comes to maintaining the equipment you want to make sure your staff is
checking a few important items to ensure long lasting equipment and safety.
Check all of your mounting hardware 2-3 times a week. You will also want to
tighten the tumblers on the leaf-spring targets. You will notice some nuts and
bolts become lose a lot quicker than others. It’s very important to stay up on this
maintenance by making it a routine. The tools needed are: a Crescent wrench, a
Phillips head screwdriver and an Allen wrench. It’s best to create a small pouch
of these tools and keep them by the equipment for quick checks.
CHECKING YOUR LEAF SPRING TARGETS
You will need to check the integrity of each leaf spring target before each class
session. You do this by pulling back the foam roller at the end of the tumbler
and making sure all of the leaf springs are not damaged. Typically you will see
4-5 leaf springs lined up. If at any point you see one of those springs cracked or
completely severed, you will need to remove this target from use immediately
and replace it with a new target.
In time, you will begin to develop an eye and ear for noticing targets that may
be damaged or not properly maintained. Typically, there will be some slight
noise and also a floppy look when it is struck.
You may also experience trouble rotating the targets on the studs of the
mainframe at some point in time. If you do, you should use a 3-in-1 oil to
lubricate the tumbler and stud.
