CARE AND MAINTENANCE
At the beginning of each play season:

Tighten all hardware.

Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges and corners. Replace if they are loose,
cracked or missing.

Check all moving parts for wear, rust or other deterioration. Replace as needed.
At the end of the play season, or when the temperature drops below 32° F (0°C):

Remove Merry Go Round Seats and other plastic items and take indoors.
GROUND ANCHOR INSTALLATION
You may either anchor the feet of the frame in hard soil or if your soil is soft (sand, etc.), you may use
the corkscrew anchor to secure the merry go round. Ensure equipment is firmly anchored before
use.
For Soil Ground Installation:
Turn the corkscrew anchor into the ground until only the hooked end is above the ground next to the
leg.
Insert the hooked end onto the bottom of the leg.
Ensure that the hooked end is secure on the bottom of the leg.
Correct Incorrect
When turning the corkscrew anchor into the ground, please make sure the anchor is roughly
perpendicular to the playground feet.
