BLEACHER TUNE UP SPECIALS

Frequency of PM on Telescoping bleachers hinges on three primary factors:

1. The size or number of rows and,
2. How often you open them and close them and,
3. How old they are?

Older bleachers that are 12 rows or higher and are opened and closed more than once a week will likely require a Tune Up every year. Of course a Tune up should be performed at the first sign of symptoms like squeaking, crooked tacking, growling, doesn't fully open, doesn't fully close or marks on the floor. It is always less expensive to prevent physical damage caused by these symptoms. WE offer a "Moderate Tune Up" that covers most everything except replacement parts and the labor to install those replacement parts. Examples of possible additional parts could be lock arms, rollers, drive rollers, electric motors etc. What this does cover is :

1.Lubricating all moving joints/parts. That includes both the upper and the lower tracks and drive trains
2.Alignment of sections to prevent binding on tracks
3.Positioning and spacing to the back wall and concrete anchors if needed
4.End rails systems to be adjusted and tightened as needed to facilitate proper closing
5.Lock or brake systems to be adjusted as needed
6.Damage inspection - i.e. broken seats or bent steel members
