1531 Fort Add On
**!!IMPORTANT-PLEASE READ!!**
This “Add-On” kit will require you to deviate from the main instruction manual. Please follow the outline
below so that you will know what steps to be aware of in the main manual. Get a yellow highlighter and
use it to highlight the items below in your main assembly manual.
Wood Roof section of main manual:
The wood roof requires you to fasten the roof supports to a Roof Peak Support (triangle). Proceed as
normal. Be aware that in Step 2 of the Fort Add on instructions you will be removing the Roof Peak
Support from the roof supports at the rear of the play set so that it may be used with the Fort Add On
roof supports.
Do not install the Plastic Sunburst on the rear roof supports of the play set.
Wait until you begin
installing the Fort Add On and those instructions will show you when this piece is to be installed.
Rear Railing section of main manual:
The rear railing is called the Rear Top Panel board in the main manual (for most play sets this board is
installed around step 6 of the main manual). This board is replaced by the Rear Panel Support in Step 2A
of the Fort Add On instructions.
If there are any accessories installed on the Rear Top Panel Board or Rear Center Post then those items
should be left off until the Fort Add On is installed. (Example: Steering Wheel, Telescope, etcetera.)
Panel Slats section of main manual:
The two panel slats at the front of the play set may be installed. The panel slat arrangement in the main
manual should not be followed on the sides or in the rear. Follow Step 10 or 10A in the Fort Add On
instructions. For some play sets slight deviations will need to be made. We will review those deviations
below.
Does your playset have a Tire Swing?
If “yes” then go to Step 10 in the Fort Add On instructions.
Highlight the right most 5/4 x 6 x 28-1/4’ panel slat in the view at the bottom of that page. Leave that
panel slat off since the end of the Tire Swing will be located in that area. Slide the small slat against the
tire swing beam after it is installed.
Does your playset have an Extreme Tube Slide on the right side?
If “yes” then proceed as shown in the
main manual and install the two 33” tall slats next to the Tube Slide. There will not be any “infill” slats
between the 33” tall slats for the play sets with the Tube Slide. So skip the “Rock Wall Side picture” in
Step 10A of the “Fort Add On” instructions. Proceed as shown in Step 10A of the Fort Add On
instructions for the slats at the “rear” and the “swing beam side”.
Does your play set have a Ladder on the rear?
If “yes” then use Step 10A in the Fort Add On
instructions. If “no” then use Step 10 in the Fort Add On instructions.
