How To Maintain Your Recreational Equipment | Task Steps

Step 1 – Inspect and Determine What Applies

• It’s a good idea to walk around your property to determine what pieces of equipment you want to work on—things ranging from bicycles – to children’s toys – to exercising equipment – to animal-related equipment.
• Check all the pieces of equipment you want to work on for safety, cleanliness, and performance reliability. This will help you decided on what type of materials you’ll need to fix them.

Step 2 – Tighten any Loose Hardware and Determine if there are any Broken Parts

• This task’s main objective is to ensure all equipment stays safe and reliable, just like the day you first bought it.
• You should try and fix easy issues on your own. If you absolutely can’t repair the equipment or you feel as though it’s still unsafe, then you might want to hire a professional to come to take a look.
