' Listed below are the required precautionary maintenance practices: <br /> Keep trash and litter containers on site. <br /> ' > Route field access traffic in such a way to minimize mud/dirt tracking on the field. <br /> Set up drinks for athletes during practice breaks off the field if possible. <br /> Enforce a smoke free environment and discourage the use of chewing tobacco. <br /> Set up drinks during games, when possible, on tables made of exterior grade plywood. <br /> Litter Removal: <br /> Light trash (paper, peanut shells, sunflower seeds, athletic tape etc.) and airborne dust can be removed <br /> easily with a lawn sweeper or a motorized vacuum. <br /> When using machines, several points should be observed: <br /> Brush Type: <br /> The sweeper should have synthetic fiber bristles such as nylon or polypropylene. The minimum <br /> ' brush length should be 2. 5 ". The maximum bristle diameter should be .030 ". The br sh must <br /> con ain no meti1 or wire; Metal fibers can fall out and cause injuries to players and can also <br /> damage the surface. <br /> Brush Setting: <br /> The brush setting should be monitored. The actual setting will of course depend on the model <br /> and type of sweeper. Set the brush so that it barely touches the tips of the fibers of the turf. <br /> DO NOT SET THE BRUSH SO LOW THAT IT DIGS INTO THE TURF PILE OR <br /> BACKING. Too low a setting will damage the turf. Vacuum cleaners are not recommended for <br /> removing mud. <br /> Contact your Geo-Surfaces representative if you have any questions about the type of machine to use or <br /> brush settings. <br /> Temperature Limitations: <br /> Never use a motorized vacuum sweeper during the heat of the day if the ambient temperature <br /> exceeds 90 degrees F. <br /> Turf Loading Limitations: <br /> Brushing and brush cleaning may require several trips over the field to finish the operation. Any <br /> sweeper that weighs more than 300 lbs. should have pneumatic tires with a maximum tire <br /> pressure of 35 pounds per square inch (psi). Do not park vehicles on the turf, especially in the <br /> heat of the day, or leave vehicles on wet turf for extended periods of time. <br /> Global Synthetics Environmental.LLC • 6326 Highland Road • Baron Rouge.LA 70808 • 225.907.4763• www.aeosurfaees.cam 13 <br /> RFP N 12-10-03 <br /> 1 <br />
