CHECK ALL NUTS AND BOLTS TIGHTNESS AND TIGHTEN AS REQUIRED, EVERY COUPLE
OF WEEKS DURING THE MONTHS THE SWING IS IN USE. IT IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT
THAT THIS PROCEDURE BE FOLLOWED AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH SEASON.
1)
Never use pliers to tighten up screws – these can cause damage to both the paintwork and
the special anti-corrosion plating.
2)
Tighten all nuts and bolts securely. Replace as needed. If not checked regularly, bolts can
be loose and dislodge and components can become detached and cause injuries.
3)
Check swing seats, ropes and other means of attachments for evidence of deterioration,
replace when required on accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
4)
Check all covers designed for bolts and sharp edges regularly to be certain they are present
and in good condition. Replace as needed. It is particularly important that all covers are
checked prior to the first use each season.
5)
Inspect all metal parts, and hardware, for signs of wear, deterioration, rust and/or damage.
Replace as needed.
6)
Lubricate all metallic moving parts monthly during times of use. Applying a light coat of
automobile wax to all metal tubing surfaces will help protect your unit and add to its
longevity. Sand any rusted areas of the metal tubing and repaint using a non-lead based
paint.
7)
Remove plastic seats and store indoors, or do not use when the temperature drops below
32°F/0°C.
8)
Check unit for scuffs, burrs, sharp edges and any other defects that may occur from
assembly, abuse, shipping or everyday use. Burrs and sharp edges may be filed down until
smooth and covered with duct tape if necessary.
9)
To help maintain the products appearance, occasionally clean the seats and metal
framework with a damp cloth lightly – but DO NOT use abrasive chemical cleaners.
Please retain these instructions for future reference.
When assembling the swing, leave all fittings finger-tight until assembly is complete, for ease of
construction, then tighten firmly. Once assembly is complete, carefully check the unit before use.
If you find any problems, do not allow children to use the equipment until it is fit for use.
