State: 15.06.2020 p. 1
Quarterly operative inspection:
1. Check the play and safety area for obvious safety hazards and cleanliness
(e.g. exposed foundations, missing or damaged parts, missing or insu󰀩cient
impact absorption, broken pieces, dirt etc.).
2. Check the play area for cleanliness and damages.
Protruding elements, if there are any, have to be removed. Check the installa-
tion depth. If necessary ll up the installation depth to the mark „play level“.
3. Check the equipment for cleanliness, correct functioning, wear, stability and
damages. Check all the xing elements and retighten them if necessary. In
case of damages, replace the damaged elements.
4. Clean the surfaces of the wooden elements if necessary. Check ssures,
chipping, moss-covering, etc. Trimm splittings if necessary.
5. The structural constitution of wood may change in the course of its useful life.
This is why it is advisable to tighten the screws in the wooden elements in
regular intervals.
Attention!
The maintenance intervals mentioned above are to be understood as recommen-
dations. The frequency of inspections has to be increased accordingly in case of
intensive use of the equipment, extreme weather conditions, installations near the
coast or in places which are often subject to vandalism and depending on the age
of the equipment!
In addition to the maintenance recommendations given by the manufacturer, it is
also absolutely necessary to follow the regulations stipulated in DIN EN 1176-7!
When exchanging or repairing elements, please always use original spare parts
for the sake of operational safety and for liability reasons!
If the play equipment has been incompletely installed or partly dismantled when
carrying out maintenance and repair work, this may lead to particular risks of
injury for the user. For this reason, make clearly visible that the equipment shall
not be used in such cases!

Annual main inspection
(in intervals of not more than 12 months):
1. In addition to the checks of the operative inspection, pay special attention
to the stability of the equipment (which may be a󰀨ected due to corrosion or
vandalism) and its operational safety, especially after repair works or after
mounting new elements or replacing existing elements. For that purpose, it
may be necessary to uncover the foundations.
2. Wooden elements must be checked regarding their stability/sustainability.
A󰀨ected by putrefaction and rotten wood must be renewed.
STAINLESS STEEL
NOTE: Play equipment, which contain components made of stainless steel
should not come with „normal“ steel parts in contact. Those steel parts may
rub o󰀨 and leave small steel particles in combination with moisture brown
rust stains. If such corrosion occur on stainless steel parts, they are ne
with an abrasive (240 grit) to remove.
Please take care when transporting and setting up the fact that the compo-
nents are made of stainless steel with no „normal“ steel parts in contact.
MAINTENANCE: In order to preserve a good visual appearance of your sti-
lum playground equipment over a long period one should take care of main-
tenance of the stainless surface even despite of their corrosion resistance.
Especially areas, which can not be reached by rainfall should be frequently
cleaned from dirt and deposits due to air pollution and dirt caused by the
atmosphere.
Light soiling can easily be romoved by using a high pressure cleaner.
For persistent deposits use a clean cloth moistened with a special liquid
cleaner (e.g. on phosphoric acid) and rinse o󰀨 with clear water after a short
application time. During cleaning with mild abrasive components, only wipe
over stainless steel surface in polishing direction.
For heavily soiled surfaces, polishes can be used (e.g. for cleaning chrome
on cars) or for greasy and oily dirt alcoholic cleaning agents and solvents
(e.g. ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol or acetone).
However, it should be noted that the dissolved soiling is not spread over the
surface again.
Do not use any chlorid or hydrochloric containing cleaning products nor
scouring powder, bleaching - or silver polish cleaner. Cleaning intervals de-
pend on type and degree of soiling as well as on demands made on optical
characteristics. Therefore cleaning is advisable at intervals of six to twelve
months – whereby in the case of strong soiling it is appropriate to clean the
playground equipment at intervals of three to six months.

WOOD
NOTE: For all play equipment with wooden elements, it cannot be ruled out that
dry cracks may develop. These natural changes of wood are dependent on climate
conditions as well as on the age and usage of the play equipment. Longer dry peri-
ods may lead to more dry cracks.
This development, however, does not represent a quality defect. Static properties of
the equipment are not impaired.
See EN 1176 Bbl 1:2019-01 4.2.7.6: Dry cracks in wood elements as a conse-
quence of weather conditions are not to be considered as dangerous openings in
terms of the standard due to the fact that the shape of the cracks (tapering towards
the inside) makes it almost impossible for ngers to get trapped in them.
MAINTENANCE: To ensure a long life of stilum playground equipment, wooden
surfaces should be regularly re-glazed. This provides the wooden surfaces with the
necessary protection and preserves the look. Areas which are not exposed to rain
should be regularly freed from deposits.
The cleaning intervals depend on the degree and type of soiling as well as on the
exigencies on cleanliness. It is recommended to clean and / or glaze at every 6
to 12 months, or to shorten the cleaning interval to 3 to 6 months if the wheather
conditions are bad.
LASUR: Use a soft and at brush or / and a glaze application roll to paint.
The wood should be cleaned a few hours before glazing. That can be done with
mild javel water, which should in any case be rubbed o󰀨 afterwards. For resistant
dirt use a wood cleaner. Eventually a light abrasion is necessary. If water-based de-
tergents are used for cleaning, please ensure that the wood elements are thorough-
ly dried before the glazing is done.
Always brush in one direction, so that the glaze can spread evenly. Apply very
thinly!
Remove glaze with a soft cotton cloth.
Then let the freshly glazed wood dry for at least one day and prohibit the use of the
equipment for this duration.
