ATTACHING THE HAND-HOLDS:
Attach the hand-holds by using the appropriate length socket head bolt through the hole in the hand-hold into the
threaded holes in the panel and tighten with the hex wrench provided. These may be placed to suit the activities and
skill level of the users.
Check carefully inside the hole of each
hold to see if there is a washer present
in order to select the proper bolt
(see
picture at left)
. Place the bolt in the
hold, through the wall, and into the t-nut.
Tighten with an allen wrench until the
hold is snug and does not spin. Use
caution as over tightening may result in
hold breakage, especially with smaller
holds.
The hand-holds are color coded to
make instruction easier and to help de-
sign climbing “routes” by order of diffi-
culty. The GREEN
handholds are the
easiest. YELLOW is intermediate, and RED is the most challenging. The orientation of the handholds can also
make a difference - an easy handhold, turned sideways or upside down, may become more difficult. This allows for a
tremendous number of different motor planning challenges. Adjust them however it fits your situation. You can even
keep a “map” of your handholds by client, so they can gauge their progress over the same route.
LOCKING THE PANELS IN THE VERTICAL POSITION:
The panels can be used in a vertical position, or the bottom will slide out to a sloped position for clients who lack suffi-
cient strength to hold on to a vertical surface.
Note: the panels are locked in the vertical position with two 3/8 x 1-3/4”
flat head screws in the middle panel (see figure 4). These screws must be in place and engage the locking
nuts on the inside channel when using the panels in the vertical position. Failure to observe this could result
in injury if the panel were to slide out while in use.
To use the panels in the sloped configuration, remove the two screws, grasp the bottom panel and slide it out. The
panels will roll on the wheels and stop in the proper position.
Always make sure that the panels are pulled completely
out before using in the sloped configuration.
Put the two bolts that were removed in a safe place out of the
reach of clients.
MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST:
All of the following wear points should be checked as indicated and recorded on the checklist enclosed.
Weekly:
All hand-holds MUST be checked and tightened on a daily or weekly basis, depending on the frequency of
use. These holds WILL loosen with frequent use and with changes in humidity.
Check the bolts holding the wood panels to the strut system on a weekly basis. Tighten when necessary.
Monthly:
On a monthly basis, the lag screws holding the horizontal strut pieces to the wall should be checked for tight-
ness, and tightened if loose. Likewise, the bolts holding the upright strut pieces to the horizontal strut
should be checked and tightened if necessary. You will have to remove the wooden climbing surfaces in or-
der to check this.
Check the wheels to see that they roll freely. Remove any lint or hair that may be clogging it. Check that the
“axle” of the wheel is tight. Tighten if necessary
Check the shoulder bolt of the slide mechanism at the top of the strut pieces. If the shoulder bolts are loose,
tighten before continuing use.
Check for cracked or broken hand-holds. In the unlikely event that one breaks or cracks, discontinue use
immediately
Check the wood surface and edges for splinters. If found, discontinue use until repaired. You may repair it
by sanding the area smooth with a medium grit sandpaper, and applying two coats of clear lacquer to the re-
paired area.
Correct bolt usage:
Holds with washer
Holds without washer
Each bolt only needs to clear the back of the hold by 3/4” max.
