TRIFIX JOINTS
The Tri Fix joint system consists of two top joints (already connected to your attachment) and two
bottom joints which you will need to connect. Connecting the bottom joints is straightforward.
TOP JOINT (already connected) BOTTOM JOINT
IMPORTANT - The top and bottom joints are NOT the same. The top joints have shallow cutouts whereas
the bottom joints have deeper cut outs. This is important to remember.
WARNING: Connecting the accessory should be attempted by adults only. The locking connector is an
important safety feature and should always be fully engaged prior to use.
Once assembled - Suitable for ages 0+ Weight limit – 100kg

STEP 3
Turn the attachment on its side. Place
one joint under the bottom rail
temporarily in order to lift it up so it is
level to the floor.
STEP 4
Line the remaining joint up with
corresponding hole in the bottom of the
attachment. Push the dowel into the hole.
You may need to use a hammer; if so please
make sure you protect the surface of the
joint so as to not leave any hammer marks.
We would advise using a scrap of wood or
the like.

Hammer
STEP 1
At the bottom of your attachment you will find pre-drilled holes on both sides. Immediately adjacent to these holes
there will be a screw that you will need to remove. Once you remove both bottom screws you can begin to attach your
bottom joints. Please discard these screws and do NOT attempt to use them to affix the bottom joints. The new screws
included with your joints are longer and these should be used instead.

screw holes on the attachment and the
bottom joint and screw together using
the new longer screw (C).

Important – Connecting your Attachment
As the names suggest, when connecting an attachment (e.g. a MIRI or ladder) between two base units (e.g. a Triclimb frame or
Archi), the top joints must always be higher than or at the same level as the bottom joints. this will ensure the locking system works
well.

How to connect your attachment
The easiest way to connect two units together is to connect the bottom joint first. Connecting the bottom joint uses exactly the
same process as for the top joint.
Simply – LIFT – SET – DROP
1) Lift one side of the base unit off the floor by a few inches.
2) Carefully bring the bottom joint of the attachment to the desired rung and hook the deep cutouts over the rung.
3) Gently drop the base unit to the floor and the accessory will become locked in position.
4) Then repeat steps 1-3 with the second base unit and top joint.
REMOVING the accessory is the reverse of connecting.

FAQ
Do I need to remove the bottom joints to use my attachment with only one frame?
You do not need to remove your bottom joint to use the attachment as a stand-alone product or when only using one unit.
Please note:
In some configurations, there will be some slight linear movement. This is perfectly normal and does not pose any safety hazard. The
aim of the Trifix joints is not to prevent sideways movement, but to make sure that the climbing/sliding attachment will never come
off the frame and fall onto a little one.
