IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ BEFORE
ASSEMBLING YOUR SHUFFLEBOARD!
The playfield of your new shuffleboard is made of high-quality, solid wood.
Wood is a natural product that is affected by environmental conditions like
humidity and temperature.
You should consider the placement of your shuffleboard carefully before
assembly. Your shuffleboard should only be assembled in the location where
you intend to use it. Moving it after assembly may cause damage.
Moisture is arguably the most important factor affecting the performance and
service life of wood products. The location of your shuffleboard should not be
too damp or too dry. A comfortable relative humidity between 30% and 50% is
optimal for your shuffleboard.
Your shuffleboard should be kept in a stable, room temperature environment.
The shuffleboard should never be placed in direct sunlight or near a heat
source.
The playfield may swell a little in more humid weather and contract slightly in
drier conditions. This can affect the "trueness" of the playfield and should not
necessarily be considered a defect. If used properly, the Climatic Adjusters
should compensate for these natural occurrences. Refer to
Care and Use,
page 6, for further instructions on using the Climatic Adjusters.
Adjustments should be made slowly.
Make half turns to the appropriate nut
and allow a day for the table to react. Depending on environmental conditions,
the playfield may require days or weeks to completely settle. Making these
adjustments too quickly may cause the playfield to crack, permanently
damaging your shuffleboard.
Be aware that your shuffleboard may react to temperature and humidity
changes throughout the year. Further adjustments may be necessary to keep
the playfield true.
Following these simple guidelines will ensure many years of enjoyment of your
shuffleboard! Please call 800-759-0977 with any questions concerning your table.
