PRE ASSEMBLY INFORMATION
Lag Screw
Flat Washer
CREATIVE PLAYTHINGS PLAY SETS USE A FEW STANDARD CONNECTIONS. BECOMING FAMILIAR
WITH THESE CONNECTIONS WILL SIMPLIFY ASSEMBLY AND INSURE A SAFER PLAY PRODUCT
FOR YOUR CHILDREN.
Hex Bolt & Weld Nut Assembly Procedure:
Typical Installation - Lag Screws:
• Tap the head of the Lag Screw
with a hammer to start the
threads into the wood and then
use a 9/16" socket to tighten.
• DO NOT over tighten
Typical Installation - Wood Screws:
• Use an electric drill or screw gun to drive screws.
• Drill 1/8" pilot holes where required.
• We recommend that you 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.
Assembly Layout:
Align the holes in the parts to be fastened. Start preliminary
tightening of bolt into weld nut by hand. Tighten each bolt
with a wrench until the lock washer is fully compressed be-
tween the head of the bolt and the flat washer.
Correct Assembly:
Bolt has been screwed securely into weld nut and the connec-
tion is tight. Check connections periodically for tightness dur-
ing the life of the play set . Do not over tighten.
Incorrect Assembly:
During assembly or maintenance the bolt protrudes 1/8" past
the weld nut. Call customer service or replace the bolt at a lo-
cal hardware store. You may be overtightening or using the
wrong size bolt.
Failure to replace this bolt with a shorter one could result
in serious injury.
All hardware on this set is specially coated for corrosion resistance. If
non-Creative Playthings hardware is used, it MUST be galvanized or
stainless steel.
