MAINTENANCE
‰
Activity on your playset and optional accessories may loosen fasteners. Check all
lock nuts, hex and lag bolts, quick clips, retainer rings, acorn nuts, wood screws
and swing hangers for tightness and tighten as required. T-nuts should be
inspected for full and proper seating into the wood. Check and tighten all fasteners
twice monthly during the usage season. It is particularly important that this
procedure be followed at the beginning and end of each season.
‰
Checking and surface cracking are characteristics of all wooden playsets. This is
caused by seasonal varying temperatures and moisture conditions. To minimize this
checking and/or cracking you may coat your playset with a sealant or preservative.
‰
The color of your playset is from a process called MicroShade ™ and involves adding
colorant into the wood as it is pressure treated. It means colorant is throughout the
wood which helps minimize any surface marking being visible. The appearance of your
playset with MicroShade will last about two years with no stain or water sealant
application. You may wish to apply a water sealant which will benefit the wood and help
minimize splitting and checking.
‰
If the stakes that anchor the set down become loose, detach them, drive them into the
ground in a different area and screw them to the set again.
‰
All hardware is plated to prevent premature rusting. Although they are plated, some
may eventually experience surface rust. This will not affect their strength.
‰
Oil all metallic moving parts monthly during the usage period. To eliminate squeaks,
spray with WD-40 or other household lubricant.
‰
Check swing seats, ropes, cables, and chains monthly during usage season for
evidence of deterioration.
‰
Check rope on all accessories for extensive wear.
‰
To help prevent pre-mature deterioration of rope and accessories,
detach and store during the off season.
‰
Instruct your children not to twist ropes or chains, since this may reduce
the strength of the rope or chain.
‰
Tents, Sandbox Cover, Trapeze, Tire, Swings and Slides should be removed
and stored indoors once temperature turns 10°F. or lower. Extended exposure to
these temperatures can shorten the life of your swing sets components.
‰
When you are ready to dispose of your playset, make sure that all
metal, plastic and wood components are disposed of in accordance
with local waste ordinances.
Periodic maintenance is required to ensure safe enjoyment
of your playset and accessories.
