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 cer-
tain 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 prelimi-
nary tightening of bolt into weld nut by hand. Tighten each
bolt with a wrench until the lock washer is fully compressed
between the head of the bolt and the flat washer. See Il-
lustrations 5 and 6.
Correct Assembly:
Bolt has been screwed securely into weld nut and the con-
nection is tight. Check connections periodically for tight-
ness during 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 local 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.
