Mounting instruction large play equipment „silva 2“
Item-No. 51 5521 601
Attention: If the play equipment has been incompletely installed or partly dis-
mantled 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.
NOTE: Play equipment, which contain components made of stainless steel
should not come with „normal“ steel parts in contact. Those steel parts may rub
off and leave small steel particles in combination with moisture brown rust stains.
If such corrosion occur on stainless steel parts, they are ne to remove with an
abrasive (240 grit).
Please take care when transporting and setting up the fact that the components
are made of stainless steel with no „normal“ steel parts in contact.
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 cleaned from dirt and deposits
due to air pollution and dirt caused by the atmosphere. Light soiling can easily be
removed 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
off with clear water after a short application time. During cleaning with mild abra-
sive 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 alco-
hol, isopropyl alcohol or acetone). However, it should be noted that the dissolved
soiling is not spread over the surface again. Do not use any chloride or hydro-
chloric 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 3 to 6 months.
MAINTENANCE OF WOODEN ELEMENTS
To ensure a long life of stilum playground equipment, wooden surfaces should be
regularly re-glazed. This provides the wooden surfaces with the necessary protec-
tion 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 condi-
tions are bad.
LASUR APPLICATION
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 off afterwards. For resistant dirt use
a wood cleaner. Eventually a light abrasion is necessary. If water-based detergents
are used for cleaning, please ensure that the wood elements are thoroughly 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.
