How to maintain your outdoor gym

Whilst very little maintenance is required on HAGS outdoor fitness equipment, it is important that someone is responsible for regular inspections of the equipment. It's important there is a comprehensive routine of operational inspection and maintenance regime in place. HAGS product warranties are only valid if the inspections and maintenance guidance in our published guide are followed.

The frequency of inspection will vary with the type of equipment/materials used and other factors such as: heavy use, levels of vandalism, coastal location, air pollution, age of equipment.

Records of inspection and maintenance should be kept by the owner/operator in charge of the equipment, detailing what has been carried out.

If parts are discovered to be unsafe during inspection and cannot be replaced or corrected immediately, the equipment (or parts) should be secured against further use (immobilised or removed from site).

The equipment does require very minimal maintenance, but please remember, the equipment should be looked after, and not neglected or treated poorly, for optimal function and resiliency.

• pick up litter.

• sweep walkways, trails or other areas that are frequently used.

• check potential wear points and mechanisms with movement on the equipment.

• inspect and tighten hardware connections when needed.

• check for any damage caused to the equipment by external elements.

• level and/or replace displaced loose-fill surfacing around equipment when needed.

• loosen and smooth any compacted surfacing so that it remains even and easy for users to move around the equipment.

• additionally, preventative maintenance tasks can be performed to increase the life of your equipment. These tasks done over time, will minimize wear due to age, usage, and the environment.
