PRE ASSEMBLY INFORMATION
CREATIVE PLAYTHINGS PLAYSETS USE A FEW STANDARD CONNECTIONS.
BECOMING FAMILIAR WITH THESE CONNECTIONS WILL SIMPLIFY ASSEMBLY AND
INSURE A SAFER PLAY PRODUCT FOR YOUR CHILDREN.
Hex Bolt & Weld Nut Assembly Procedure:
Assembly Layout:
Align the holes in the parts to be fastened. Start
preliminary tightening of bolt into weld nut by
hand. Tighten each bolt with a wrench until the
lock washer is fully compressed between the
head of the bolt and the flat washer.
Correct Assembly:
Bolt has been screwed securely into weld nut
and the connection is tight. Check connec-
tions periodically for tightness during the life
of the Playset .
Do not over tighten.
Incorrect Assembly:
During assembly or maintenance the bolt pro-
trudes 1/8" past the weld nut. Call customer
service or replace the bolt at a local hardware
store. You may be overtightening or using the
wrong size bolt.
Failure to replace this bolt with a shorter
one could result in serious injury.
Typical Installation - Lag Screws:
• Pilot drill with the appropriate
diameter drill bit and then use
a socket to tighten.
• DO NOT over tighten
Typical Installation - Wood Screws:
• Use an electric drill or screw gun to drive screws.
• Drill 1/8" pilot holes where required.
• We recommend that you lubricate the
threads of the screws with beeswax or
soap to ease installation and minimize
breaking screws.
•
It is very important to make certain
that the tops of all screws are flush
with the surface of the wood and there
are no protruding sharp edges.
