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

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.

Center the Slide (AA) in the opening in the Platform Front

the Platform Front. Check that the Slide extends out perpen-

tance so that wood is seen.
Using the holes in the slide for guides, drill 5/16" diameter
