NEWSLETTER FOR EVENT AND
LEISURE BUSINESSES
Issue Number.121
March
2013 |
|
|
EVERYTHING FOR EVENT AND LEISURE RELATED BUSINESSES
IN ONE PLACE |
 |
 |
|
In all the excitement and anticipation of
starting an events related business it's easy to overlook some of the other
essential equipment items that may be needed. Often the focus is on the main
business items that will bring in the money i.e. the catering trailer, the
inflatable slide, the ride etc with little thought given to electricity supply,
anti theft devices, cash security plus tools and accessories needed for day to day
running or your new event business. |
Of course catering trailer and amusement manufactures may include many of the
essential equipment items as part of their "ready to operate" packages, however
if you are purchasing second hand, items may not be included and should be
carefully budgeted for as they can be an unexpected expense.

Making Purchases in Haste Can Lead to a Bad Purchase
We've all done it,
realised that we don't have the tool to do the job and rush out in a mad
panic and buy the
first one we find and wished we had spent more time to look around. Suddenly realising that
you don't have a gas regulator spanner, a generator spark plug remover/cleaner
or jerry can for refuelling can be frustrating to say the least. Take a good
look at all your equipment and do a dummy usage run creating an "essential
tools" and a "what if" list of items to buy. Look at gas bottle changeovers,
power supply and generator operating, fresh water transportation, trailer positioning
and stabilising on uneven ground surfaces, money and general anti theft
security. |
Trailer and Amusement Ride Security.
If you can hook it up and drive it away so could someone else
and from experience regardless of tracking devices, chassis numbering and fitted
locks the disruption to business is more costly than taking simple precautions.
Never leave your trailer or ride overnight at a venue unless onsite security is
provided, if you need too, always wheel clamp it, fit a tow hitch lock and take
off site all easily removable valuable and personal items, generators, tills,
credit card machines etc. Avoid temptation to lock equipment in the trailer.

Round Up |
|
Tip: If your generator won't start on a cold morning remove the spark plug and clean it with
a wire brush taking care not to alter spark gap then carefully warm the plug over a suitable heat source
and while still warm replace it, wait for the plug to warm the air in the piston
chamber (30 secs) and then retry. |
