Maintenance instructions for balance „octo“
Item No. 51 5551 402
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!
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.
Annual main inspection
(in intervals of not more than 12 months):
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.

Maintenance instructions for balance „octo“
Item No. 51 5551 402
In order to preserve a good visual appearance of your stilum playground equip-
ment over a long period one should take care of maintenance of the stainless
surface even despite of their corrosion resistance.
Especially areas, which can not be reached by rainfall should be frequently clea-
ned 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 sur-
face again.
Do not use any chlorid or hydrochloric containing cleaning products nor scouring
powder, bleaching - or silver polish cleaner. Cleaning intervals depend 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.
Spare parts
Spare parts are available for parts that become worn through normal use, for
example: cone steps etc.
These parts should be regularly inspected every year for wear and tear and re-
placed if necessary.
