OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL


CHAPTER I
OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE
Aim
Guide those responsible for park maintenance management on the main procedures linked to
preventive maintenance. vo and corrective of the physical infrastructure.
Scope
The physical infrastructure maintenance guide is aimed at users and those responsible for the
operation of the park.

CHAPTER II
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS AND JUSTIFICATION
A detailed study on the maintenance conditions of the parks concluded with the following
findings: The District Municipality of Chilca has among its main objectives to improve the quality
and coverage of the services it provides, with emphasis on the poorest and most vulnerable
population. To achieve this, it is necessary to strengthen the execution of physical infrastructure
maintenance activities that guarantee the appropriate physical conditions to provide
entertainment and recreation services, such as parks.
1. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
 Absence of national policies on maintenance and conservation of infrastructure and
equipment.
 Little care for the physical infrastructure of the parks.

 Absence of coordinated maintenance systems.

 Lack of qualified maintenance personnel and lack of permanent training programs.

 Insufficient financial resources for maintenance actions.

 Gaps between the sophistication of the equipment and the skills of the personnel who
operate them.
2. JUSTIFICATION
Maintenance, in global terms, becomes relevant as a consequence of the importance that
the quality approach has acquired in parks.
Within this context, physical infrastructure and equipment constitute fundamental elements
to guarantee a quality entertainment and recreation area. Within the management of
actions related to infrastructure, it is important to consider not only the investment in the
construction of the Infrastructure but also those related to the maintenance of the buildings,
with the aim of preserving them and prolonging their useful life.
The current situation reveals, among other aspects, the absence of a national policy that
regulates and regulates the maintenance of physical infrastructure and the lack of an
adequate level of maintenance due, among many factors, mainly to the lack of information,
the scarcity of financial resources, the absence of human resources for maintenance and

the lack of a maintenance culture, situations that make it difficult to guarantee the proper
functioning of the parks.
It is important to remember that the management bodies of the District Municipality of
Chilca have among their main tasks the rehabilitation and improvement of the physical
infrastructure of the parks, as well as the provision of equipment.
These investments in physical infrastructure and equipment require an effective effort to
provide adequate maintenance, which is why the resources necessary for the execution of
these activities must be included in the respective operational plans.
Likewise, it is necessary that a physical infrastructure maintenance program be carried out
in each of the parks to avoid the progressive deterioration of the buildings with the
subsequent increase in recovery costs and avoid the deterioration of the institutional image
of the park. District Municipality of Chilca.

CHAPTER III
OBJECTIVES, DEFINITIONS AND TYPES OF MAINTENANCE
a. Maintenance Objectives
Protect the capital investment of the District Municipality of Chilca, preserving and
prolonging the useful life of the physical infrastructure of the establishments in order to
provide better quality service to users.
Improve the operational capacity of entertainment and recreation services to provide
permanent and quality care
Reduce the deterioration rates of physical infrastructure, avoiding high capital investment
losses and high operating costs.
b. Definitions
The word maintenance is quite well known and used by the vast majority of people,
especially when it comes to highlighting the state of the infrastructure, the poor or
ineffective functioning of machines, equipment or their respective accessories, with the
following being increasingly valid. interpretation "Maintenance is: When everything goes
well, no one remembers it exists. When something goes wrong, they say it doesn't exist.
When it is to spend, it is said that it is not necessary. But when it really doesn't exist,
everyone agrees that it should exist." However, the most understood meaning of the word
Maintenance corresponds to "the set of activities carried out in order to preserve properties
or assets (properties, facilities, machines, equipment, tools, etc.), in safe, efficient and safe
operating conditions." economic, preventing damage or repairing it when it has already
occurred.
It must be taken into consideration that the approaches to park maintenance are not only
technical and economic, but that a third party is fulfilled: the social one whose value is
incalculable and which must be taken into account to give its true place and importance to
maintenance in the park. entertainment and recreation sector. We list these 3 approaches:
Technical approach: Maintain infrastructure, equipment and facilities in safe, efficient and
reliable operating conditions, so as not to interrupt the provision of services.
Economic approach: Contribute with available means to sustain the conservation of
physical infrastructure with the lowest possible operating costs.

HUANCAYO - DEPARTMENT OF JUNIN”

Social focus: Prevent a failure of the facilities from putting at risk the adequate provision
of entertainment and recreation services and the lives of its users.
c. Types of maintenance
3 types of maintenance are established:
Predictive: Corresponds to the work philosophy to reinforce preventive maintenance
Preventive: Obeys programming and not demand
Corrective: Obeys the demand and priority of the user and not a schedule

CHAPTER IV
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE - CONSERVATION OF PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

The maintenance of the physical infrastructure must include all the services and materials
required to achieve an optimal state of conservation so that they can be used continuously
for the purpose for which they were built. Materials that have suffered considerable
damage, beyond the conditions that justify repair within economic terms, must be replaced
with materials that offer greater durability. To avoid this damage, it is necessary to consider
in the annual operational plans of the parks, the financial resources that allow carrying out
a preventive maintenance program for which the technical standards for preventive
maintenance and conservation of physical infrastructure must be taken into account. of the
parks.
a. Structural components
Special attention should be paid to the structural components (foundations, columns and
beams). These elements must not present any damage and must permanently offer
optimal physical stability of the establishment.
b. Roofs and covers
The ceilings, tiles and other types of covers of the establishments must be maintained in
the best conditions to prevent the entry of water or humidity into the interior of the building
and eliminate the need for renovation within as long periods as possible. When it is
necessary to subject the ceilings to major repairs or a total renovation, the materials
selected must be of the best quality and guarantee a long period of life.
c. Paint
The painting needs, both inside and outside the establishment, must be determined based
on particular analyzes and requirements applicable to each case, taking into consideration
predominant factors such as: geographical location, weather conditions, degree of
deterioration of the painted surfaces, functional requirements of the establishment. building
and appearance. Painting work must be carried out in such a way that it is possible to
guarantee its preservation, cleanliness and sanitation conditions, lighting or visibility.
d. Sanitation
Sanitary facilities must be maintained in adequate conditions from a physical, functional,
and sanitary point of view. Damaged, defective or corroded pipes and accessories must be
replaced with others of standard quality that present the same operating and safety
conditions, within the performance standards established for this type of installations.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL


TECHNICAL RECORD :

“RECOVERY OF PEÑALOZA PARK (LOVERS PARK) DISTRICT OF CHILCA - PROVINCE OF


HUANCAYO - DEPARTMENT OF JUNIN”

Emphasis should be placed on the detection and correction of leaks due to their economic
repercussions and their impact on the deterioration of the building.
e. Electrical and mechanical installations
The electrical and mechanical systems must be maintained under satisfactory operating
and safety conditions. Facilities and networks that are damaged, obsolete or have poor
operating conditions must be repaired or replaced with new ones that meet all the
specifications required by current standards.
f. Exterior Maintenance Of The Establishment
The Head of the establishment is committed not only to the entertainment and recreation
services provided by the establishment, with the civil works, facilities and equipment
existing within the establishment, but must also take care of what exists outside the
premises. It is possible that, comparatively speaking, exterior maintenance is less frequent
than interior maintenance; but for this reason it is no less important. At least two
inspections per year must be carried out on the structure. The inspection should focus on
the roofs, water systems, rain, downspouts, exterior walls and walls, metal and wooden
carpentry, exterior passageways, etc. Because the exterior structure of the establishment
is subject to the action of the climate and inclement weather, it requires strict scheduling
and execution of maintenance and repair actions at regular intervals of no more than one
year. Among the main items to be considered we have the following:
- Paint
Because the maintenance and exterior painting of the premises are relatively
infrequent, on some occasions it is decided to contract the work to personnel or
entities external to the institution. However, the person in charge of the
establishment must have knowledge about the proper use of materials and the
application of techniques consistent with the treatment of exterior works and the
application of standards and procedures for their inspection and control. At the same
time, you must maintain records of execution time and its costs for budgets and
execution of future work.
- Metal Carpentry
Special attention should be paid to the protection of all exposed metal surfaces. The
metal frames of doors and windows must be kept well painted to prevent rust,
especially in areas where there is high salinity in the environment. Aluminum works,
even when they do not require painting, must be kept clean to prevent discoloration
and loss of anodizing.
Galvanized iron can suffer damage to its protective layer, giving rise to rust
outbreaks on its surfaces, forcing them to be treated to control rust and apply layers
of paint with the consequent increase in maintenance costs. Before painting all metal
surfaces installed outdoors, they must be properly prepared and free of any trace of
dirt. For this purpose, appropriate tools such as scrapers and steel brushes must be
used. Prior to applying the oil-based paint (two or more layers), the metal surfaces
must be given an anti-rust treatment by applying a layer of anti-corrosion paint with
the appropriate characteristics. The use of optimal quality materials, the application
of good preparation techniques and the use of qualified labor ensure the maximum
duration of the painting job.
- Wood Carpentry

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL


TECHNICAL RECORD :

“RECOVERY OF PEÑALOZA PARK (LOVERS PARK) DISTRICT OF CHILCA - PROVINCE OF


HUANCAYO - DEPARTMENT OF JUNIN”

Outdoor wood carpentry should be inspected annually to verify its solidity and detect
signs of deterioration of the protective layer of varnish or paint. As in metal
carpentry, the preparation of the wooden surfaces, before applying the paint, is of
the greatest importance.
All "lifted" paint should be scraped away, leaving the surface smooth and free of any
traces of dirt, chips or scratches. The best quality materials must be used,
appropriate for use outdoors, under rigorous climatic and environmental conditions.
The use of qualified labor and the appropriate application elements for each
particular case is required.

Brick and Concrete Works


Painting exterior brick and concrete surfaces is not recommended. In any case, if it
is done, it will be solely and exclusively for decorative purposes. In such cases, the
use of water-based paints is suggested, avoiding the application of "sealant" type
materials. Brick and concrete walls and/or surfaces must be allowed to "breathe",
that is, any absorbed moisture must be removed, otherwise the interior surfaces of
the establishment will suffer considerable damage. Repainting should only be carried
out when appearance conditions require it.
- Maintenance of Walls and Structures
The exterior surfaces of the premises, whether brick, adobe or concrete, require
periodic inspections and repairs of all joints and openings around windows, doors,
etc., because the movements of the establishment and the action of the weather
cause breakage. and joint disintegration.
Damaged joints must be repaired frequently, by applying a new layer of mortar. If the
above is not done, moisture can eventually penetrate the interior of the building and
cause damage or deterioration to the finished surfaces, whether smooth or rough.
Window putty is necessary to prevent wood or metal carpentry from being damaged
and causing serious damage. It is recommended to use suitable caulks and sealing
materials of the best quality available on the local market.
- Roof or Cover Maintenance
Of all the exterior surfaces of the establishment building, the roofs, roofs or covers
are the most vulnerable, due to their relentless exposure to the sun, wind, rain and
extreme temperatures. Even the best roof requires regular maintenance.
All roofs are subject to expansion and contraction due to variations in ambient
temperature, which can lead to cracks and ruptures, and possible leaks, especially
around roof projections, ventilation ducts, roof openings. lighting, etc. Roofs require
regular monitoring and attention to ensure maximum life span and good functional
condition.
Although major repairs and roof replacement are best performed by specialized
contractors, a well-planned preventative maintenance program can dramatically
reduce the frequency and severity of repairs. The recommended starting point is
dividing the total roof surface into easily identifiable areas. These areas should be
marked on the construction plans to provide a visual aid for the organization,
planning and control of maintenance activities. After the roof areas have been
identified, a visual field inspection of each of them must be carried out to determine
their current conditions or state. A report of the findings identifies problem areas and

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL


TECHNICAL RECORD :

“RECOVERY OF PEÑALOZA PARK (LOVERS PARK) DISTRICT OF CHILCA - PROVINCE OF


HUANCAYO - DEPARTMENT OF JUNIN”

allows for the programming of actions in the short, medium and long term. The report
should include, to the extent possible, information on size, age, type, functional use,
and a history of repairs performed. This information helps diagnose problems and
apply corrective actions. The review may indicate the need to apply some corrective
measures or perform repair work before starting the implementation of a preventive
maintenance program.
All roofs should be inspected at least annually, but preferably twice a year, generally
before the onset of the rainy season. In parallel with the roofs, the rainwater
collection channels and downspouts, as well as the areas near corners, chimneys,
ventilation ducts, etc., should be inspected.
- Waterproofing
Foundations and retaining walls built below the ground surface (below ground level)
are exposed to moisture from soil and rain. The proper procedure is to waterproof
the buried exterior surfaces during the construction process before backfilling.
All surfaces to be waterproofed must have a smooth, dry and clean texture of any
foreign material, as well as eliminating any porosity condition. If there are serious or
acute problems related to certain humidity conditions in the civil works of the
establishment, it is recommended to request the intervention of an engineer or a
qualified technician in the matter. Ideally, foundation waterproofing should be carried
out during the construction stage of the building. The application of subsequent
procedures is costly and their effectiveness can be questioned. In existing buildings
it is advisable to treat interior surfaces. A wide variety of compounds and paints with
excellent waterproofing characteristics are available on the market that can provide
an adequate protective barrier against moisture. The interior walls of the
establishment, below floor level, must have a good moisture barrier. Occasionally,
cracks or peeling are detected in the walls. This condition, known as "buzzing," can
be caused by a poor moisture barrier from the outside, which allows water to pass
through the wall and its coating.
- Circulation routes and parking area
Internal circulation routes and parking areas must be inspected annually. Cracked,
broken, or poorly maintained areas must be repaired to minimize the dangers to
which pedestrians and vehicles may be exposed. Furthermore, a good state of
conservation of these works significantly improves the appearance of the exterior of
the establishment. Traffic roads and parking areas require good signs and space
demarcation. For this purpose, the appropriate paint must be used, according to the
availability of the local market, and carried out with the necessary frequency
according to the traffic, climatic conditions and state of conservation. It is essential to
check and subject to periodic maintenance the manholes, drains and rainwater
collectors that are close to the vehicular circulation routes.
- Perimeter Fences
Perimeter fences are constructed for the protection of establishment property and for
decorative purposes. Its construction must comply with the standards on the subject
and be of good quality. All brick, metal or wooden fences must be inspected annually
and painted as frequently as necessary, depending on the geographical location and
climatic conditions of the place where the establishment is located. In some places,
galvanized wire mesh and metal posts are used for fences. Before subjecting them
to a repainting process, it is advisable to carefully brush the mesh, removing all

traces of rust or dirt. In some cases it may be necessary to apply a base with anti-
corrosion paint before giving it the final treatment with oil-based paint.
- Green Areas and Gardens
The green areas and gardens constitute an important decorative element for the
outdoor areas of the establishment. The care of green areas and gardens must be
carried out by people who have knowledge of planting and care techniques for
flowers and shrubs, pruning and fertilization techniques and procedures, and the use
of equipment and tools used in the care of plants. .
- Cistern - Elevated Water Tank
Special care must be given to preventive maintenance of the cistern and the
elevated tank, which must be cleaned at least every six months. Cleaning should be
carried out by dissolving a 50 ml cushion of bleach in a 10 liter bucket of water; With
this solution, wash the floor, walls and lid with a brush, eliminating the green and
greasy layer that forms due to humidity. After 15 minutes, rinse and drain all the
water. This operation must be carried out twice. Make sure that the tank nipples
and/or pipes, valves and floats are in good condition to prevent water from being
wasted. Check that the tank lid is tightly closed so that the water does not become
contaminated. Verify that the elevated tank structures are in good condition; any
breakdown or damage must be repaired immediately.

CHAPTER V
CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE OF PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

This chapter formulates some recommendations for the corrective maintenance of some
elements with the most frequent damage observed in parks nationwide. The
recommendations are referred to in the following areas:
- Electrical installations
- Sanitation
- Replacement of majolicas
- Paint touch ups
- Floor repair
- Change of locks
- Glass change

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS
FLUORESCENT TUBE CHANGE
1. To repair or replace a fluorescent tube you need:
- A medium screwdriver.
- a fluorescent tube
- A starter
- a reactor
2. Various types of anomalies can occur. The reasons must first be determined:
- If the tube does not turn on when the switch is activated, this may be due to several
causes:
Blackout: Examine the fuses or leads of the main switch.
The fluorescent tube is incorrectly positioned: Remove the tube and put it back in
place, checking that its ends are perfectly inserted into their terminals.
Damaged tube: The tube may be "burned" or have loose ends. Change with a new
tube.
- If only the ends light up, leaving the central part of the tube in darkness or poorly lit:
the starter must be faulty. Check if it is properly connected to your starter holder. If so,
change it for a new one, with the same characteristics.
- If the tube flashes and makes noise: the fault generally comes from the tube or the
starter, which may be incorrectly connected or defective. Remove the tube and starter
and replace them, if the problem persists, replace them.

- If the tube lights up dimly, it must be worn, proceed to change them. If the fault
continues, the transformer is probably defective and must be
- also be changed. Be careful to adjust the power cables properly (Fig. 6).

3. To disassemble a fluorescent tube, hold it by both ends (not the center, as it may
break), rotate it 90° degrees and gently pull it to disengage it from the terminals. To
replace it, snap the ends into place and turn them 90° degrees but in the opposite
direction (Fig. 7).
4. To reach the starter, remove the tube. The starter receptacle is fixed to the base of the
tube (wood or metal). To remove the starter, hold the receptacle and rotate it 90° until
the terminals are free. Then unclip it very carefully (Fig. 8).
5. If the reactor is changed, be careful to install the new one in the same position as the
damaged one, making sure to preserve the same polarity of the circuits and the
adjustment of the contacts (Fig. 9).

a. BUILT-IN SWITCH
1. Check that the bulb or fluorescent light is not blown out or "burned out" by trying a new
one.
2. Verify that there is no blackout and that there is power in the main switch of the main
panel, using the test lamp (pilot).
3. Turn off the power at the main switch on the main panel, moving the lever downwards
(Fig. 2).
4. Remove the recessed base plate.
5. Remove the jumper that supports the contact (given).
6. Remove the faulty contact (socket) from the chassis and install the new socket.

7. Connect the terminals to the new socket.


8. Put the jumper back into the box.
9. Install the switch plate.
10. Raise the main key lever to turn on the power.
11. Flip the switch you changed to check its operation.

b. CHANGING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE PLUGS


1. Check the plug pins to make sure they are not broken and that the terminals are tight. If
they appear fine, it may be that the cable is damaged; Check it for damage or cracks,
especially in the section closest to the plug. If the pins are broken or in poor condition,
proceed to change them, otherwise change the entire plug.
2. To change the entire plug or pins, remove the retaining screws and remove the cable.
3. Place the cable in the new plug or on the pins, tie a simple knot to separate the 02
poles of the cable and remake the eyes in the tips to insert the screws into the 02 poles
of the cable and adjust, with a screwdriver, the screws to the terminals.

SANITATION
a. CHANGING THE PIPE GASKET
The loss of water generated by the dripping of a pipe represents a significant volume of
water, which is very regrettable if it is wasted, adding to the cost that this represents.
1. To repair a leaking pipe you need:
- Stillson wrench or French wrench
- Screwdriver or medium screwdriver
- pliers
- small knife
- Valves and gaskets of the same type of change.

2. When the pipe is closed the gasket stops the passage of water. When opened, the shaft
and packing rise and release the passage of water. If the spout leaks when closed, it
means the gasket is worn. You have to dismantle the pipe and change the gasket.
3. Before disassembling it, close the water stopcock (Fig. 1), then fully open the spout or
tap (Fig. 2).

4. Remove the cap or trim that covers the screw, depending on the model, the knob or
handle may be held by a screw, a nut or simply fitted (Fig. 3).
5. Remove the screw with a screwdriver (Fig. 4).
6. Unscrew the nut from the shaft or stem with a French wrench and hold the spout of the
spout with your other hand (Fig. 5).
7. Remove the shaft or stem from the spout body. The gasket is attached to the end of the
stem (normally it is fitted). Unscrew the brass screw from the shaft and remove the worn
rubber packing with a small knife. Change the rubber gasket with a new one with similar
characteristics, make sure it is in the proper position and press it fully (Fig. 6).
8. To reassemble the spout, it must be in the open position. Put the shaft or stem inside
the body of the spout and holding it by the spout, screw the nut, place the knob and
tighten with the screw. Then open the main water shut-off valve and check the result of
the repair. If the spout is still leaking this may be because the valve seat is worn or
cracked. In this case, you must call the plumber to match the seat or base of the pipe.

b. WATER LEAKS IN THE TOILET

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL


TECHNICAL RECORD :

“RECOVERY OF PEÑALOZA PARK (LOVERS PARK) DISTRICT OF CHILCA - PROVINCE OF


HUANCAYO - DEPARTMENT OF JUNIN”

These leaks or leaks deserve special attention because they are a common occurrence in
entertainment and recreation establishments. These leaks can be loud and visible, or silent
and invisible, these being the most serious, since they are the most difficult to detect.
The latter can be detected by adding a blue dye (e.g. Blue wash) to the toilet tank. If blue
water starts coming out of the toilet bowl without flushing it, it is a sign that there is a leak.
Toilet tank water fill valves are generally of two types: brass and plastic. In both cases, the
closing mechanism is similar. This consists of a float and its rod, which means that as the
tank fills, it rises, thus activating the inlet valve.
When the rubber gasket on the inlet valve wears out due to use, an unexpected silent and
barely noticeable leak occurs. The details of the operation of bronze or plastic toilet floats
are shown below (Fig. 7):

c. WATER LEAKS IN THE TOILET DUE TO FLOAT FAILURES


Improper Float:
It occurs when the installed float is smaller than the appropriate dimensions. In this case, it
does not exert the necessary pressure and the valve does not close, causing water to leak.
To solve this problem change to a larger float.
Float with water:
In cases where the float has a hole, water enters it, causing this damage. Obviously, a float
in these conditions will not exert the necessary pressure on the valve and water will leak. In
this case change the float.
Deformed rod:
When the float rod is very thin, that is, it does not have the necessary cross section, it
tends to curve upward due to the pressure that the water exerts on the float. In this case,
replace it with a new rod of suitable dimensions (Fig. 8).

HUANCAYO - DEPARTMENT OF JUNIN”

d. DETERIORATION OF A TOILET DRAIN


A faulty drain causes water to be lost, without the tank being able to fill completely. To
avoid these leaks, act as follows:
1. Examine the seat gasket and check the guide so that it slides quickly over the rubber
plug and rests normally on the drain opening each time the tank is emptied (Fig. 9).
2. If the leak persists, replace the seat gasket, which you can easily find at your nearest
hardware store.

e. REPAIR SHOWER FAUCET


To change the gasket, follow the same steps for repairing a leaking pipe.
Other problems that arise are when the keys are tightened too much, believing that they
are poorly closed because droplets that remain on the key continue to fall. This causes
damage to the rubber packing.

REPLACEMENT OF MAYOLICAS
a. CHANGE OF MAYOLIC OR CERAMIC TILES
To change one or more broken or loose (blown) majolicas you need:

Tools:
- A hammer
- A chisel or point
- A spatula
- A knife
Accessories
- Cement
- Majolica
- a small wood
- A clean sponge or cloth
- Porcelain
1. Using the blade, begin by removing the porcelain forge from all four sides of the broken
majolica using the blade (Fig. 1).
2. Using a thin chisel or tip and a hammer, break up the defective majolica and remove the
pieces. To prevent adjacent majolicas from breaking, start with small blows in the center
and continue along the sides of the piece. Remove any remaining cement and wet the
area without the majolica (Fig. 2).
3. Make sure that the cavity is large enough to allow the placement of a new majolica. The
margin between majolicas should be 3 to 6 mm. (Fig. 3).
4. Prepare a mixture of cement with a little water in a container, with a not so watery
consistency, then apply it in a uniform layer on the wall or floor and also on the back of
the majolica, leaving 1 or 2 cm free. of the edge of the contour (Fig. 4).

5. Place the new majolica in place and press firmly to level it with its neighbors. Place the
wooden board on top and hit it with a soft, dry hammer. The bruñas should have the
same width on all sides, if not, move the majolica slightly with the help of the tip of the
spatula. Then with the spatula, clean the cement from the joints and let the placed piece
dry for 24 hours. Important: the new majolica(s) to be installed must be soaked in a
container for a minimum period of 6 hours (Fig. 5)
6. To finish, fill the bruñas with a mixture of porcelain and water. Apply it with a spatula.
When the mixture begins to dry, rub the bruñas with a damp sponge or cloth (Fig. 6).

PAINT RETOUCHING
a. TOUCH UP PAINT ON WALL
To touch up paint on the wall you need:
Tools:
- A metal brush
- A spatula
- A brush or roller
Accessories:
- No. 100 water sandpaper
- Plaster or putty
- A plate
- A bucket and a sponge
- One gallon of paint or as needed and one bottle of appropriate thinner or amount (if
using oil-based paint)
1. Brush the wall vigorously with the metal brush to remove the old paint (Fig.1).
2. If the wall is damaged, fill holes and cracks with thin plaster or putty. Once the
arrangement is dry, sand it so that the surface to be painted is even (Fig. 2).
3. Sponge the entire wall with a bleach or detergent solution, then rinse. The wall will then
have its original color, allowing you to determine the exact color of paint needed to carry
out the touch-up.
4. Once the wall is dry (1 or 2 days), proceed to paint the wall by protecting the floor with
plastic or newspaper and applying a first layer of primer on the part to be painted. If you
are going to use latex paint, apply water-based primer, in the case of oil-based enamels
or paints, use oil-based primer.
5. Then, with the brush, apply 1 or 2 layers of paint on the part to be touched up until you
obtain a color and thickness that is most similar to the paint on the rest of the wall.
Before applying the second coat, let the first coat dry for at least 12 hours (the drying
time is indicated on the paint container). (Fig.3)

implements only with water and if you used oil-based paint, use thinner or solvent.

b. PAINT TOUCHUPS FOR IRON CARPENTRY


When you want to repaint the iron frames or bars with enamel paint, proceed as follows:
1. Using metal sandpaper, remove the old paint; Then scrape with the spatula and remove
all excess material, leaving the surface to be painted completely clean (Fig.4).
2. Before using the enamel paint, brush with a coat of anticorrosive paint (synchromate) to
protect the iron from humidity. Once the anticorrosive paint is dry, proceed to apply the
enamel paint 2 coats or 2 times (Fig. 5).

FLOOR REPAIR
c. TILE FLOOR CHANGE
Needed:
Tools:
- Camber
- Spatula
Accessories
- Cement
- Gross sand
- Clean sponge or cloth
- Tray
- Tile, ceramic or majolica
- Piece of wood
1. Using the thin chisel, begin chipping the forge of the joints that separate the tiles,
ceramic or majolica from each other (forge). Remove the forge from all four sides.
2. Using the point and the camber, break up the broken, loose or defective tile and remove
the pieces. To prevent adjacent tiles, ceramics or majolica from breaking, start with
small blows in the center and continue along the sides of the piece (Fig. 1).
3. With a chisel and the camber, chip the existing cement layer (seat bed) when removing
the piece. Remove any remaining cement and wet the exposed area with water. (Fig. 2)
4. Prepare the cement mixture with coarse sand in a proportion of 1 volume of cement to 4
volumes of coarse sand and water. The mixture must be semi-dry. Then apply it in a
uniform layer on the floor to a level that allows the new piece to be contained (Fig. . 3).
5. Place the new piece in place and tighten firmly to level it with its neighbors. Place the
wooden board on top and hit it with dry, soft hammer blows. The bruñas should be the
same width on all sides, if not, move the piece slightly with the help of the tip of the
spatula. To finish, fill the bruñas with a mixture of cement and water, Apply it with a
spatula (Fig. 4).

d. REPAIR OF CEMENT FLOORS


1. Once you have located the area to be repaired and using a small rope, tap gently
around the affected area, especially when cracks or lumps are found (the floor is said to
be blown). (Fig. 1)
2. Using the rope and strong blows, proceed to break the damaged cement floor (Fig. 2).
3. Chick the affected area with a chisel and then remove the excess material. (Fig. 3).
4. Pour a small amount of cement slurry (cement and water) on the area to be repaired
and allow it to dry slightly. (Fig. 4).
5. Prepare the mixture of cement and fine river sand, in a proportion of 1 volume of
cement with 3 volumes of sand and apply the thickness to the area to be patched.

6.- It will be equal to the rest of the floor (normally 1 or 2 inches thick). Finally, with a
trowel, level the mixture flush with the existing floor; you can also use a metal or wooden

CHANGE OF LOCKS
Tools:
- A medium screwdriver
- A metal file
- A small brush or brush
Accessories:
- an oil can
- A bottle of kerosene
- If a new lock is necessary
1. If the door does not fit the lock, the latch may have moved relative to the lock plate due
to deformation or sagging of the door. It will therefore be necessary to repair the door. It
may also be due to the latch being stuck and not engaging. If this is the case, lubricate
the latch with oil using a small brush and move the handle several times so that the oil
is well distributed.
2. If the offset between the latch and the lock is not very large, you can enlarge the hole in
the metal plate located in the door frame with a metal file. (Fig. 1).
3. There are several types of locks, all of them are easily removable.
4. Normally, the malfunction of a lock is due to poor lubrication of its moving parts. To
lubricate it, use the oil can by pouring the oil into the latch and into the key hole. Then
move the handle and key (previously lubricated with oil). Repeat the operation until it is
well lubricated.
5. If the result is not satisfactory or the lock remains blocked, disassemble it and clean all
the parts of the mechanism with a brush soaked in kerosene. Carefully remove them
with a rag, grease them and replace the lock. When the mechanism is very rusty, leave
the entire lock for a few hours in a kerosene bath, and if necessary, remove the rust
with an emery cloth.
