Visual Inspection of Rental<br />
Equipment<br />
In assembling a system for the boarder, it is the responsibility<br />
of the rental company to inspect and evaluate<br />
each equipment component before each rental process.<br />
This inspection checklist should be followed before any<br />
mounting or adjusting is performed.<br />
Check suitability<br />
• Is the chosen rental equipment appropriate for the<br />
boarder’s ability?<br />
• The binding must be compatible with the customer’s<br />
boots/board.<br />
Check the condition of the<br />
Rental Equipment<br />

• Are all mounting screws present and tightened<br />
securely? (only turn screws clockwise to prevent<br />
damage to screw locks).<br />

Maintenance of boards<br />
• Store in dry room after use.<br />
• Grind base & edges from time to time<br />
• Hot wax the boards after max. 7 days of use<br />
Maintenance of bindings<br />
• Store in dry room after use<br />
