5. MAINTENANCE OF YOUR BACHAR LADDER
At the beginning of each play season:
• Check all metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a non-lead based paint meeting the requirements
of 16 CFR 1303.
• Check all moving parts including bars, ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace as
needed.
• Check the rope and bars for deterioration, cracking or fraying. If found, DO NOT USE and dispose of
immediately.
• X.3.1.1 Loose-Fill Materials: X.3.1.1 Maintain a minimum depth of 9 in (23 cm) of loose-fill materials such as
wood mulch/chips, engineered wood fiber (EWF), or shredded/recycled rubber mulch for equipment up to 8 ft (2.4
m) high; and 9 in (23 cm) of sand or pea gravel for equipment up to 5 ft (1.5 m) high. NOTE: An initial fill level of
12 in (30 cm) will compress to about a 9- inch depth of surfacing over time. The surfacing will also compact,
displace, and settle, and should be periodically refilled to maintain a least a 9 in (23 cm) depth.
Once a month during play season:
• Check all moving parts including bars, ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace
as needed.
• At the end of each play season or when the temperature drops below 32° F (0° C) take in your equipment and
store indoors in cool dry location.
• X.3.1.1 Loose-Fill Materials: X.3.1.1 Maintain a minimum depth of 9 in (23 cm) of loose-fill materials such as
wood mulch/chips, engineered wood fiber (EWF), or shredded/recycled rubber mulch for equipment up to 8 ft (2.4
m) high; and 9 in (23 cm) of sand or pea gravel for equipment up to 5 ft (1.5 m) high. NOTE: An initial fill level of
12 in (30 cm) will compress to about a 9- inch depth of surfacing over time. The surfacing will also compact,
displace, and settle, and should be periodically refilled to maintain a least a 9 in (23 cm) depth.
