Use of weed trimmers too close to board surfaces will cause damage to the wood and compromise protection against rot and insect infestation.
To prevent the deterioration of materials, remove plastic swing seats and other plastic accessories when outdoors temp dips down to or below 32° F and
take indoors. Reinstall these plastic elements at the beginning of each play season.
At the beginning of each play season check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a non lead-based paint meeting the
requirements of 16 CFR 1303 or SOR/2005-109.
At the beginning of each play season and once a month during each play season, check all moving parts for wear, rust or other
deterioration. Replace as needed. If any of these conditions exist, call 1-800-888-1232 to order replacement accessories.
At the beginning of each play season and once a month during each play season lubricate metallic moving parts.
At the beginning of each play season and twice a month during each play season, check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners.
Replace if they are loose, cracked, or missing.
At the beginning of each play season and twice a month during each play season, rake and check depth of loose fill protective
surfacing material to prevent compaction and maintain appropriate depth. Replace as necessary.
At the beginning of each play season and twice a month during each play season tighten all hardware.
