General Maintenance (Recommended Schedule & Guidelines)
Daily/Weekly/Monthly (or as adopted)
Visual checks of bench / seat top, back 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 bench / seat 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.

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.
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.

Installation Instructions
ALL INSTALLATION WORKS TO BE CARRIED OUT BY COMPETENT PERSONNEL - INSTALL AS
COMPLETE UNIT.
Spline Tree Bench / Seat (surface and sub-surface fix)
1. Install suitable foundation pads (see illustration) each with top face at ground
level or 100mm below finished ground level for sub-surface fix.
2. If necesasry unpack bases and attach to the bench/seat using 2 no. M10 x 25mm
button head bolts per base and tighten to 14Nm
3. Position bench/seat (a crane or forklift will be required at this stage) in correct
orientation with bases centrally on foundation pads; mark hole positions through
base plates
4. Remove the bench/seat; drill holes Ø14mm x 200mm deep (surface fix) or Ø12mm
x 75mm deep or as manufacturer’s recommendations (sub-surface fix).
5. Clear debris from holes.
6a. (Surface fix) Fill the holes to within approximately 35mm from the top with Hilti
HY150 resin (or similar). Lift the bench/seat (with threaded anchor rods/capnuts in
place) and carefully lower the anchors into the holes, leave for two hours to set.
6b.Using a torque wrench, tighten nuts and washers over flange plates to 30Nm
to fasten down the bench/seat.
7. (Sub-surface fix) Reposition bench/seat unit and fix each base to foundation pads
using 2 no. zinc-coated M10 x 75mm sleeve anchors tightened to 50Nm (or as per
manufacturer’s instruction). Ensure bench/seat remains level during fixing process.
8. Check level & re-instate ground level if necessary
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Ensure that stainless steel is protected during site cutting of stone – contamination
from disc cutters will produce corrosion on stainless steel components.
