MAINTENANCE
‰
Activity on your playset and optional accessories may loosen fasteners.
Check all monkey bar rungs and screws, lock nuts, hex and lag bolts, quick
clips, retainer rings, acorn nuts, wood screws and swing hangers for tightness
and tighten as required. T-nuts should be inspected for full and proper seating
into the wood. Check and tighten all fasteners twice monthly during the usage
season. It is particularly important that this procedure be followed at the
beginning and end of each season.
‰
All hardware is plated to prevent premature rusting. Although they are plated, some
may eventually experience surface rust. This will not affect their strength.
‰
Oil all metallic moving parts monthly during the usage period. To eliminate squeaks,
spray with WD-40 or other household lubricant.
‰
Check accessory seats, chains and hardware monthly during usage season for
evidence of deterioration.
‰
To help prevent premature deterioration of playset accessories, detach and store
during the off season.
‰
Instruct your children not to twist ropes or chains, since this may reduce
the strength of the rope or chain.
‰
Tents, swings, glider, tire, trapeze and slides should be removed and stored
indoors when temperature turns 10°F or lower. Extended exposure to low
temperatures can shorten the life of your accessory’s components.
‰
When you are ready to dispose of your playset accessories, make sure that
all metal, plastic and wood components are disposed of in accordance
with local waste ordinances.
Periodic maintenance is required to ensure safe enjoyment
of your playset and accessories.
