• Clean After Use: Wipe down the javelin after each use to remove dirt, mud, and debris. Use a damp cloth to clean both the shaft and rubber tip, ensuring no build-up that could affect performance.
• Inspect for Damage: Regularly check the shaft and rubber tip for any cracks, bends, or signs of wear. If you notice any damage, repair or replace the javelin as needed to maintain safety and performance.
• Check the Rubber Tip: Ensure the rubber tip is securely attached to the shaft and is free from wear or cracks. Replace the rubber tip if it becomes damaged, loose, or excessively worn.
• Avoid Hard Surfaces: Avoid throwing the javelin on hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt, as this can cause damage to both the shaft and rubber tip. Always throw on grass or designated tracks to minimize impact damage.
• Store Properly: Store the javelin in a cool, dry place when not in use, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, which could degrade the materials over time.
• Inspect for Rust: Check for signs of rust, especially if the javelin has been exposed to moisture. Treat metal parts with a rust-resistant coating to prevent corrosion.
• Ensure Proper Balance: Inspect the balance and structural integrity of the javelin, making sure the shaft remains straight and true to its original shape.
• Annual Check-Up: For long-term use, consider having the javelin professionally serviced or checked annually to ensure optimal condition and performance.
