hex bolt & Weld nut Assembly Procedure:
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-
lustration.
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.
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.
