ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust, or other
deterioration. Replace as needed.
•

by the manufacturer and take indoors or do not use.
•
R
ake and check depth of loose fi
ll protective

Additional Maintenance
•
Check the swing beam and hardware every two
weeks due to wood expansion and contraction.
It is particularly important that this procedure be
followed at the beginning of each season.
•
Inspect wood parts monthly. The grain of the wood
sometimes will lift in the dry season causing splinters
to appear. Light sand may be necessary to maintain
a safe playing environment. Treat your playset with
stain regularly, to help prevent severe checking/
splitting and other weather damage.
•
A waterborne transparent stain has been applied to
your playset. This is done for color only. Once or twice
a year, depending on your climate conditions, you
must apply some type of protection (sealant) to the
wood of your unit. Prior to the application of sealant,
lightly sand any “rough” spots on your playset. Please
note this is a requirement of your warranty.
•
Assembling and maintaining the playset on a level
location is very important. As your children play,
your playset will slowly dig its way into the soil, and
it is very important that it settles evenly. Make sure
the playset is level and true one each year or at the
beginning of each play season.
Disposal Instructions
When the Playcenter use is no longer
desired, it should be disassembled
and disposed of in such a way that no
unreasonable hazards will exist at the
time the unit is discarded.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHECK AND TIGHTEN ALL HARDWARE AT THE BEGINNING AND DURING
THE SEASON AS THEY MAY LOOSEN DUE TO WOOD EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION.
