WARNINGS, CONT’D.
Annually (more frequent in harsher environments) inspect all fasteners and verify all nuts, bolts, screws, and
other fasteners are undamaged and secure. If any part of the system appears damaged, loose, or missing, do
not use until repaired by an EZ ACCESS approved technician.
Do not tamper with, attempt to repair, or modify any portion of the system. Only EZ-ACCESS approved
technicians may provide service.
Do not lean on, walk on, or otherwise bear weight on the system until installation is complete.
Consult local building codes for information on securing system for environmental loads.
Do not use if surfaces are cluttered, obstructed, or unsafe.
At all times, keep the system clear of dirt, leaves, and other debris that may accumulate on the surface.
Simply sweeping the system or using a garden hose will usually suffice, but, if needed, a damp cloth or soft
brush with mild dish soap and water can be used (avoid alkaline solutions). Rinse well and use extra caution
when system surface is wet.
If snow and or ice is present on the system, remove accumulations before use. Please refer to ‘DEICING’
section for more information.
Before each use, confirm the system is level and positioned securely. Periodically check for ground shifts and
make any necessary adjustments.
Do not sit, stand, or climb on guards, gates, or handrails. Do not play on or around system, including, but not
limited to, running, jumping, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, etc.
Properly support and restrain system in transit or storage.
