Maintenance Features

Regular Checks: Equipment should be checked by an adult at the beginning of each season and at regular intervals during the usage season to ensure it is safe. Special attention should be paid to all connections and fastenings. All nuts and bolts should be checked regularly for tightness and tightened as required.
Part Replacement: Parts may need to be replaced if they show signs of wear and tear. Any defective parts should be replaced in accordance with the instructions.
Hardware Maintenance:
- Beginning of Play Season: Tighten all hardware. Lubricate all metallic moving parts. Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners; replace if loose, cracked, or missing. Check all moving parts (swing seats, ropes, cables, chains) for wear, rust, or deterioration; replace as needed. For rusted metal parts, sand and repaint using a non-lead-based paint. Check wood members for deterioration and splinters; sand down splinters and replace deteriorating wood members. Reinstall any plastic parts removed for the cold season. Rake and check depth of loose-fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and maintain appropriate depth.
