Tools needed for assembly:

• Spade 2 pieces
• Rake 1 piece
• Spirit level 0, 5 rm 1 piece
• 17 open-ended or socket wrench 1 piece
• Measure 3m 1 piece
• Chemical anchor Fischer FIS VL 410 C or Tytan EVOLUTION II 1 pack of 410 ml Loctite 243 Adhesive 1 pack of 10 ml Hammer drill with a drill fi 12 min drilling length 180mm

WARNING! The manufacturer does not provide any tools for assembly! Two people are needed to assemble the TERMA Inclusive Tracking Play Panel.

Next steps of assembly:

1. Digging a hole for a concrete screed or a block
2. Placing the foundation and drilling holes for the pins
3. Placing the pins in the foundation
4. Installing the device on foundation pins
5. Filling the foundations

Digging the hole for a concrete screed or concrete block

Tools:
Shovel / spade Measure 3 meters There are two options for installing the device in the ground.

Option 1:
Dig holes according to the following drawings. Pour dug holes with B-15 concrete class and wait until it sets. Go to step 4, to find out how to proceed.

Option 2:
If the device was purchased in a set with concrete cubes, the holes should be dug in accordance with the drawings below, next the cubes should be placed in the ground, level and check the dimensions, and then sprinkle with earth to prevent the concrete cubes from moving.

1. Placing the foundations and drilling holes for the pins

Tools:
Hammer drill with a drill fi 12 min drilling length 140mm Chemical anchor Fischer FIS VL 410 C or Tytan EVOLUTION II or other with similar properties 17mm spanner / socket wrench Loctite 243 adhesive

If a concrete screed has been made, the concrete has set and is ready for further work, place the frame on the concrete and make holes for the anchors in appropriate places. According to the manufacturer Fischer FIS VL 410 C, a diameter of fi 12 is required for the M10 pin. Install foundation pins in the holes according to the instructions of the chemical anchor manufacturer. The minimum length of the pin protruding from the foundation is shown in the drawing.

  • no play in setting in the ground,
  • smooth slide of the element.
    The condition of the smoothed surfaces should also be checked, as well as any protruding, sharp elements, edges, protruding screws. The assessment also covers the degree of strength of the entire structure and the unavailability of the edges or surfaces of the foundations to the user.

• Annual main inspection carried out to establish the general condition of the equipment in relation to the safety level. It is recommended to pay special attention to factory-sealed (non-dismountable) parts. Annual inspection may require disassembly of the device and sending to Manufacturer for service.

In the event of a failure of devices or any malfunctions in their operation, the devices should be secured against users until the damage is removed by fencing it with a construction signal tape with a suspended sign informing about the damage, for example: “WARNING DEVICE FAILURE”.

Contact the Manufacturer to explain the malfunction and take corrective actions . The principles of warranty repairs and service are described in this manual.
