General Maintenance (Recommended Schedule & Guidelines)
Daily/Weekly/Monthly (or as adopted)
Visual checks of table top and bases - check all items for superficial or physical damage.
Three Monthly
Clean all items as detailed below check all fixings are seated correctly; inspect timber for serious damage and splinters.
Six Monthly
Secure all fixings; full clean as detailed below; check that table is firmly secured to the ground
Specific Maintenance Details
FSC Timber
Clean with a stiff brush once per year, especially in more exposed locations, in order to prevent a verdigris type build up on
the timber surface. Ideally this should be completed in early spring. During the cleaning stage, all exposed timber surfaces
should be inspected for splits and splinters. Any splinters and graffiti should be removed and the surface sanded with 100
grit sandpaper in order to remove any uneven / sharp edges or surfaces.
During the first few months after installation the tannin naturally occurring in the timber may leach out and cause a brown
staining on the bases. This may be removed with a light solution of household bleach and water.
Stainless Steel (polished stainless steel only)
Clean as required, but at least every three months, using a stainless steel polish and a lint free cloth. To remove ground in dirt,
a stainless steel finishing pad may be required.
Polyester Powder Coated
For general cleaning using a damp cloth and warm soapy water only. Scourers and abrasive cleaners are NOT suitable for
this type of finish and may damage it. Before using any cleaning agents to remove graffiti etc. try on a small, inconspicuous
area first to avoid causing more unsightly damage.

Repairs
FSC Timber
For light damage, please see section on specific maintenance details above. For instances of heavy damage, the timber item
should be replaced. Please order against the part number reference in the reordering section towards the end of this manual.
Stainless Steel
Light damage (surface scratches etc.) can be removed using an emery pad (240 grit) and freeing oil such as ‘WD40’. Care
should be taken to follow the direction of the brushing grain. It is recommended that a trial repair be carried out on an
unimportant surface first. No corrosive cleaners or other abrasives should be used. Any contamination, particularly carbon
steel scuffs from vehicles, should be quickly removed to avoid corrosion.
Polyester Powder Coated Surfaces
For light damage (scratches, chips etc.) repair using touch-up paint to match original colour (available from Factory Furniture
Ltd). Paint application should be carried out in accordance with approved methods detailed by the paint manufacturer.
Please note that it is advisable to use professional painters to achieve best results when touching up larger areas. Products
for respraying larger areas are available from Factory Furniture Ltd.
Heavy Damage
In the event of serious damage to any component, replacements should be ordered from Factory Furniture Ltd. In this event
(or if the product needs to be disassembled for any reason), please contact Factory Furniture for detailed technical advice.

Serpentine Table (Sub-surface Fix Only)
Serpentine Table (sub-surface fix only)
1. Unpack pair of bases and attach to the table using the 12 no. M8 x 30mm button headed hex bolts and tighten to 14Nm.
2. Dig trenches for foundation pads (see illustration) and position table in trenches in correct orientation with each base
central in each trench. For correct height table should sit 300mm below finished ground level (750mm above FGL)
3. Carefully pour concrete for each pad. Check table is level and maintain table at correct height and vertical until concrete
sets (at least 24 hours).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Ensure that stainless steel is protected during site cutting of stone – contamination from disc cutters will produce corrosion on
stainless steel components.

Setting out dimensions
Serpentine Outdoor Dining Set (table sub-surface fix only, benches surface fix only)
1. Unpack pair of bases and attach to the table using the 12 no. M8 x 30mm button headed hex bolts and tighten to 14Nm.
2. Dig trenches for foundation pads (see illustration) and position table in trenches in correct orientation with each base
central in each trench. For correct height table should sit 300mm below finished ground level (750mm above FGL)
3. Carefully pour concrete for each pad. Check table is level and maintain table at correct height and vertical until concrete
sets (at least 24 hours).
4. Once foundation pads have set, position benches in correct orientation with bases centrally on
foundation pads, then mark hole positions through base plates.
5. Remove the benches; drill holes Ø14mm x 175mm deep
6. Clear debris from holes.
7. Fill the holes to within approximately 35mm from the top with Hilti HY150 resin (or similar). Lift the
benches (with threaded anchor rods / capnuts in place) and carefully lower the anchors into the
holes, leave for two hours before using.
8. Using a torque wrench, tighten nuts and washers over base plates to 30Nm to fasten down the
benches.
9. Check levels
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Ensure that stainless steel is protected during site cutting of stone – contamination from disc cutters will produce corrosion on
stainless steel components.
