(A) Use liquid thread lock (such as Loctite
®
) with all threaded hardware. Important: Liquid thread lock (prior to
curing) helps to eliminate the common problem of "thread seizure" in stainless steel hardware by serving as a
lubricant during assembly.
(B) Do not pour concrete until the equipment is completely assembled, leveled and plumbed. Concrete must be
allowed to cure completely before using the equipment (at least 72 hours).
(C) Refer to Installation Manual 1708 Tube Support, R5-1601 Panel Type 1 assembly instructions for R5
installation and R3.5-1600 for R3.5 installation.
(D) Use appropriate compliant protective surfacing and adjust footing depths accordingly. See free publication -
The Handbook for Public Playground Safety, Publication #325 at www.CPSC.gov for the surfacing appropriate
for the fall height of the equipment or consult your surfacing supply representative.
NOTE: R5 12" Tube Panel shown.
Other configurations will vary slightly,
and will affect assembly where
indicated.
