What Is Not Covered By Warranty - SFA The Bone Instrucciones De Armado E Información Acerca De La Garantía

We are very proud of our all-AMERICAN made casters. We feel our design is improved by not using a center rivet for the
caster swivel assembly. Consequently we use a bolt and lock nut so the pre-load can be set properly on the bearings.
You may have to adjust the pre-load from time to time. You will need a 9/16" socket or wrench to fit on the center nut. To
do this, remove the wheel from the fork (using a 1/2" wrench for the Bone™ or 9/16" wrench for the Rough Rider™) and
torque the nut until the swivel becomes tight (will not spin), then back off slowly until the swivel spins smoothly without any
"slop". Tighten then loosen the same as you would a wheel bearing to make sure the ball bearings are properly seated.
There will be a bit of a "break-in" period when your casters are new – if you find the swivel is a bit stiff it will loosen up with
a bit of use.
Keep your casters clean! If you find that a lot of dirt and grease has built up on them, wash them with some Simple Green
to get the grit and grime out of the bearings and axles. This will make sure that the creeper will last you for years on end!
You should periodically add a few drops of oil to the ball bearing races and the axle bearing to ensure proper lubrication.
- Broken or cracked creeper bodies from being hit, dropped or run over.
- Creeper bodies over one year old.
- Creeper bodies that have been cracked due to over tightening the casters .
- Caster forks and wheels that the user has allowed to become overly clogged with
dirt and/or grease, causing the casters to no longer function properly (it is the
customer's responsibility to care for their creepers).
- Any creeper body, caster fork or wheel that has been broken due to a customer
hitting, running over, dropping, throwing, melting, or otherwise abusing.
- Any creeper body, caster fork or wheel that has been modified by the customer in
any way, including: drilling, attaching non-manufacturer made caster forks
or wheels, lengthened by sawing, etc.
- Any damage from being loaded beyond its weight rating.

How To Care For Your Bone or Rough Rider Creeper
The Bone™ and The Rough Rider™ are high quality, 100% American made products. However, like all fine tools, they
require a bit of care to ensure a lifetime of reliable use. Below you will find some tips and tricks to make sure that this will
be the last creeper you will ever buy!
- Keep it clean! Using a creeper on a dirty floor will cause dirt and grease to build up on the casters. Over
time this can cause the ball bearings to get jammed up with grit, as well as speed up possible tire
degradation from rolling in grease and oil that can soften up the material. Also, a dirty creeper body
will stain clean clothes! If you keep your creeper washed top and bottom with a light degreaser like
Simple Green, it will perform like new for years! Be sure to clean around the swivels and axles of the
casters.
- Do not drop your creeper! Set it down carefully on the ground. The Bone™ and Rough Rider™
creepers are made to be tough, but repeated abuse can cause the plastic on the body and wheels to
crack or break, and such abuse is NOT covered by warranty! In addition, be aware that plastic
becomes brittle in cold temperatures, so be extra careful if you are using your creeper in a cold shop or
outside in the winter.
- Do not use your creeper as a ladder or stepping stool. If you stand on the top of the creeper with
the wheels on the floor, you run the risk of the creeper rolling out from under you, which could
result in serious injury!
- We stand behind our products with a limited one year warranty on the creeper body and lifetime on the
wheels, but keep in mind that these only apply against manufacturer defects. Running over, drop
ping, hitting, over loading, allowing the casters to get too dirty or otherwise abusing your creeper
will void these warranties!

What Is Not Covered By Warranty?

IMPORTANT!
After using your creeper for a couple hours (and
every month thereafter), please check the tightness
of the center swivel nut. After the break-in period the
swivel can become loose which will result in the loss
of ball bearings. This is not covered under warranty!
