__Step 1:
Before attempting to assemble your equipment, please review all
installation information carefully. Should you experience any diffi culty during the
installation process, please call us at the telephone number shown on the last
page of these instructions.
__Step 2:
Separate and identify all components and hardware.
___Step 3:
Excavate footings as shown in the
Support Post Footing Details
on
page 2
of this document.
Attach the spring to the base frame.
__Step 4:
Attach the spring to the base frame. See
Details A and B
. Select
the base frame, the spring and the appropriate hardware. There are (3) three
connections. Lower the spring onto the base frame. Insert the spring wedge into
the end of the spring coil and rotate around until tight. Insert the U-bolts over the
spring and attach as shown.
Note:
The 2.94" U-bolt attaches through the spring wedge, then the 2" U-bolt over
the second and bottom coil, and the 1-1/2" U-bolt over the bottom coil.
Note:
Repeat the procedure in
Step 4
to attach a second spring to the opposite
end of the base frame.
Attach the base plate to the base frame.
__Step 5:
Attach the base plate to the base frame. See
Detail C
. Select the base
plate and the appropriate hardware. There are (2) two connections. Raise the
base plate below the base frame and attach through the center of the spring as
shown. Fully tighten the hardware according to tightening torque specifi cations
in
Step 16
of these instructions.
__Step 6:
Place the base frame into the prepared footing. Plumb and level the
assembly. Fully tighten all fasteners according to tightening torque specifi cations
in
Step 16
of these instructions. Block and brace for concrete. Pour concrete
and allow 72 hours for concrete to completely cure before continuing on with the
installation. Check the frame to ensure that it is plumb and level after pouring
the concrete.
Attach the pivot assembly to the base frame.
__Step 7:
Attach the pivot assembly to the base frame. See
Detail D
. Select the
pivot assembly and the appropriate hardware. There are (12) twelve connections.
Position the pivot assembly down over the sides of the frame, align the holes,
apply a drop of thread locking adhesive to the bolt threads, and attach as shown.
Do not fully tighten the connections.
Attach the see-saw frame to the springs.
__Step 8:
Attach the see-saw frame to the springs. See
Details E-1, E-2, and
E-3
. Select the see-saw frame, the spring wedges, and the appropriate hardware.
There are (3) three connections per spring, (6) six total connections. Position the
see-saw frame with the fl at side of the spring mounting plate facing down and
over top of the springs. Insert a spring wedge between the end and next spring
coil on the end of a spring and rotate around until it is tight. The tabs should be
on the top, next to the end coil. Position frame so the legs of the U-bolt stick up
through the holes in the spring mounting plate. Fully tighten connections according
to tightening torque specifi cations. See
Step 16
of these instructions. Repeat
procedure to attach the frame to the other spring.
Note:
The 2.94" U-bolt attaches through the spring wedge, then the 2" U-bolt over
the second and bottom coil, and the 1-1/2" U-bolt over the bottom coil.
Attach the see-saw frame to the pivot assembly.
__Step 9:
Attach the frame to the pivot assembly. See
Detail F
. Select the
appropriate hardware. There are (12) twelve connections. Align the holes in the
side of the frame with the holes in the pivot assembly and attach as shown. Fully
tighten the connections according to tightening torque specifi cations. See
Step
16
of these instructions.
Attach the cover panel to the frame.
__Step 10:
Attach the cover panel to the frame. See
Detail G-1 and G-2
. Select
the cover panel and the appropriate hardware. There are (4) four connections.
Place the cover panel on top of the frame and align the holes. The side of the
panel that has the routed out holes must be facing up. Apply a drop of thread
locking adhesive to the bolt threads and insert each bolt through the panel and
thread into the frame. Fully tighten the connections.
