USING THE HARDWARE
Check the positioning of parts in each Step's illustration, noting which of the parts should
receive the Lock Washer and Barrel Nut. Place the Barrel Nut and Lock Washer in the hole. Align
the holes in the parts to be fastened. Start preliminary tightening of bolt into Barrel Nut by hand.
To
securely tighten
, turn the bolt with an Allen Wrench until the Lock Washer is fully
compressed between the head of the bolt and the Barrel Nut.
Note that in some steps the instructions say to tighten "
just snug
.
" This means to tighten the
bolt just enough to keep the parts together, but loose enough to allow the parts to move. This is
necessary to allow squaring and leveling. The bolt will be tightened securely in a following step.
All bolts and screws must be tightened securely before the playset is ready for use.
Bolt has been
screwed securely
into Barrel Nut and
Lock Washer and
the connection is
tight.
Check connec-
tions periodically for
tightness during the
life of the Gym set.

Typical Installation -Wood Screw:
• Use an electric drill or screw gun to drive screws.
• These screws are self-tapping, so no pilot
holes are required.
• Lubricate the threads of the screws
with beeswax or soap to ease
installation and minimize breaking
screws.
•
It is very important to make certain
that the tops of all screws are flush
with the surface of the wood and
there are no protruding sharp edges.
•
Always drill pilot holes
when using Lag
Screws. The size of
the pilot hole will be
specified in the Step.
•
Tap the head of the Lag
Screw with a hammer to
start the threads into the
