WOOD ADVICE

Our products are manufactured from premium timber. Great care is taken in selecting, machining, and treating the timber before it is sold to you.

1. Inspect wood parts monthly. The grain of the wood sometimes will lift in dry periods causing splinters to appear. Light sanding may be necessary to maintain a safe environment. Treating your product with protection (sealant) after sanding will help prevent severe checking/splitting and other weather damage.
2. We have applied a waterborne translucent stain to your unit. This is done for color only. Once or twice a year, depending on your climate conditions, you must apply some type of protection (sealant) to the wood of your unit. Before the application of sealant, lightly sand any “rough” spots on your set. Please note this is a requirement of your warranty.

Bear in mind that timber is a natural product and may experience changes throughout its life. It may

• Develop opening/checks (splits, gaps, slits, apertures, cracks) along the line of the grain due to moisture & temperature changes.
• Colour fades as the timber reacts with sunlight

MORE INFORMATION ON WOOD SPLITS

• Each Lifespan Kids Timber Play Equipment is designed and built with tolerances to account for wood splits. All timber components are dried, temperature treated, and specified to the right size to ensure that the structural integrity of your play equipment will not be compromised from normal weathering.
• Most wood splits will never become large enough to affect the reliability and strength of your play equipment.
• Keeping it indoors in a well-ventilated room will help prevent the splitting of the wood as the temperature is maintained. However, if you notice wood splits it it best to perform maintenance immediately.
• In the unlikely event you feel that a part has a possible fault in the timber, please contact Lifespan Kids immediately with pictures of the parts so they can be reviewed. Please refer to Page 46 to get in touch with us.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING : Please keep for future reference

We recommend regular maintenance to be conducted at the beginning of each season as well as at regular intervals during the usage session for your play equipment to ensure all main parts/fixings are tightly secured, well-oiled and intact to avoid failure, injury or hazards.

GENERAL ADVICE
It is of particular importance that this is followed at the beginning of each season as well as at regular intervals during the usage season.

• Check the accessories monthly as well as the play equipment’s structure to prevent falling risks.
• Check and retighten screws, bolts, and all other hardware elements as necessary.
  • Do not over-tighten to avoid damaging the thread or cracking the surrounding wood.
• Check all coverings and bolts for sharp edges and replace them when required.
• Lubricate all moving metallic parts.
• When signs of oxidation and/or rust appear on various metallic parts of your equipment, sand-rusted areas, and tubular members repaint using a non-lead-based paint when required.
• Where applicable: check swing seats, chains, ropes, and other means of attachment for evidence of deterioration.
• Replace when required by the owner’s manual.

If your play structure is disassembled, be sure to mark any attached metal plates to prevent accidents. Check all bolt covers and sharp edges and replace them if necessary. Keep the equipment stored indoors at all times.
