Step 37 — Window guard:
The Window guard is only needed when a Swing Beam
is mounted from the back of the Clubhouse using a swing
mount. on the side of the gym where swing mount is posi-
tioned, the window opening and adjacent Wall Support cre-
ate an opening for a child's body to pass through, but with
no room for his head. A dangerous head entrapment could
result.
fasten a Window guard (AQ) to the outside of each lower
window opening using four #8 x 1-5/8" Screws. leave no
gap greater than 3-1/2".
Step 38 — Slide Mount:
Place the Slide mount tight against the Platform Support,
centered on the opening left for the slide. The beveled edge
of the Slide mount should face the inside of the gym. Se-
cure the Slide mount to the Platform Boards using four #10
x 2-1/2" Screws.
drive the screws until the heads are flush with the top of the
Slide mount. do not over-tighten; over-tightening may cause
the points of the screws to protrude through the bottom of
the Platform Boards.
Step 39 — Slide:
Position the Slide on the Slide mount through the opening
prepared in earlier steps. Center the Slide in the opening
and pull it tight to the platform until it stops against the edge
of the Platform Support. make sure and that the holes in the
Slide are over the Slide mount.
Check that the Slide extends out perpendicular from the play
set.
drill 5/16" holes through the Slide, Slide mount and Platform
Boards using the holes in the Slide as a guide. fasten the
slide using one 1/4 x 3" Truss Head Bolt and one 1/4" Weld
nut for each hole.
note: in some positions, a Stringer may be encountered
when drilling. Stop drilling, remove the Platform Board and
insert the Weld nut into the hole from below. Reinstall the
Platform Board and continue with assembly. it may help to
clear space for the Weld nut but using a 1" paddle bit on the
underside of the Platform Board
