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.
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.
