Notes Before You Begin: Do not over tighten bolts during assembly, only snug
tighten them until assembly is complete. Do not install bolt caps until the structure
is completely assembled and properly footed.
Carefully read and understand these installation instructions before you
begin.
Step 1: Before attempting to assemble your equipment, please review all
installation information carefully. Should you experience any diffi culty during the
installation process, please call us at the phone number shown on the last page
of these instructions.
Step 2: Separate and identify all components and hardware.
Step 3: Excavate, or prepare, the footings as shown in the Support Post
Footing Details or Surface Mount Footing Detail in the Annex at the end of
this document.
Step 4: Attach the top cube to the bottom cube. See Detail A. Place the top
cube onto the bottom cube making sure the large holes are offset, apply a drop
of thread locking adhesive to the bolt threads and attach as shown. Fully tighten
the connections according to tightening torque specifi cations.
Torque Specifi cations:
Bolts and nuts - Snug tighten and then tighten an additional one half turn.
Note: Steps 5 and 6 refer only to the in-ground model.
Step 5: Attach the anchor post to the bottom cube. See Detail B. Position the
top of the anchor post against the bottom of the cube assembly and attach as
shown. Fully tighten the connections according to tightening torque specifi cations.
Step 6: Attach the logo casting to the bottom cube. See Detail C. Place the casting
on the inside bottom of the cube assembly, apply a drop drop of thread locking
adhesive the bolt threads and attach as shown.
Note: Step 7 refers only to the surface mount model.
Step 7: Attach the anchor frame to the bottom cube. See Detail D. Position the top
of the anchor frame against the bottom of the cube assembly and attach as shown.
Final Details.
Step 8: Finish assembling the structure. Plumb and level the component.
Tighten all fasteners. Fully tighten all fasteners according to tightening torque
specifi cations.
Torque Specifi cations:
Bolts and nuts - Snug tighten and then tighten an additional one half turn.
In-Ground: Block and brace for concrete. Pour concrete after all equipment has
been assembled. Allow 72 hours for concrete to completely cure.
Surface Mount: Bolt down all surface mount supports in accordance with
specifi cations provided by your registered structural engineer.
Important Note: Surface mount hardware is not supplied. Customer is responsible
for concrete base and for providing surface mount hardware as specifi ed by a
registered structural engineer for each specifi c project application.
Hardware Note: Extra hardware is provided for attachment of an above ground
PlayCube.
Step 9: Attach the logo casting to the bottom cube. See Detail E. Place the casting
on the inside bottom of the cube assembly, apply a drop drop of thread locking
adhesive the bolt threads and attach as shown. Fully tighten the connections
according to tightening torque specifi cations.
Step 10: Fill in the unused inside and outside holes in the ground level cube.
See Detail F. After the equipment assembly is complete, install a ratchet rivet
in each unused open hole in the cube. Insert the rivet into the hole and press in
place. Make sure to insert the rivets so they interlock as shown in the reference.
Note: This step should be executed after structure has been assembled and
properly footed.
Step 11: Insert the bolt caps into the plastic washers. See Detail G. Select the
plastic caps and press over the plastic fl anged washers.
Note: The plastic caps install easier when they are warm.
Step 12: For areas complying with ASTM standard F1487 or the CSA Z-614,
apply the age appropriate label to the component at eye level.
