OIL-BASED PAINTED WOOD CARE GUIDE
PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY – IT WILL HELP YOU TO MAINTAIN YOUR
FURNITURE
This furniture has been made from seasoned wood and has already been factory
primed and finished with an oil-based paint. With proper maintenance, it will
give you years of enjoyable service. Wood is a natural material and its
appearance will change when exposed to the elements; surface splits and
checking may appear, particularly on the end grain and to a lesser extent on
the surface within a few weeks if left exposed to the elements. The furniture
is designed with this in mind to remain strong and durable. If left exposed to
the weather, your furniture will fade in color. The exact color will depend on
the environment; for example, less fading will occur if the furniture is
placed in a shady location under a tree. To help preserve the color, cover the
furniture with a garden furniture cover when not in use. Wood expands and
contracts with changes in relative humidity. To prevent over drying and
excessive cracking, do not store in a heated place.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- We recommend cleaning the surface of dirt, bird droppings, tree sap, grease. etc. Scrub with a cloth or soft brush using a mild household cleaner, dish or laundry detergent.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Allow to dry completely and retighten all hardware.
REFINSHING
Based on exposure to the elements the finish may need to be restored.
Proceed as follows:
- Cover the floor area with a suitable liquid resistant ground sheet to contain dust, dirt or spills.
- Use suitable protective clothing, i.e., rubber gloves, apron, safety glasses, dust mask, etc.
- Check and retighten all furniture hardware
- Remove any finish that has become loose or cracked by using a scraper or wire brush. DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL as the fine particles may result in dark rusty blotching.
- In a well-ventilated area or outdoors, lightly sand using 100-200 grit sand paper.
- Remove any dust by wiping with a damp cloth.
- Allow item to dry completely.
- Use an oil-based primer on any bare wood spots.
- Brush or spray on new finish using the manufacturer’s instructions – using an oil-based paint available at any paint retailer.

LARGE PARTS (NOT TO SCALE)
HARDWARE PARTS LIST (SHOWN TO SCALE)
*Standard hardware items may be replaced locally.
STEP 1
Position and insert 65 mm screws in 2 holes in back.
Place screws through 2 holes in seat using washer and lock nut.
NOTE: Do not mount back assembly incorrectly.
STEP 2
Attach each arm to back by placing70 mm screws through chain, thenthrough the
hole in tapered end of the arm (straight edge of the arm facing in), then
attach to back with a washer and a nut.
WARNING:
Before using the chain, inspect each link in the chain to make sure all are
welded closed and secure.
Failure of the chain could cause serious injury.
Should any defect be found, contact Customer Service for a free replacement.
STEP 3
Place arm supports between each arm and seat at the front of the swing. Hook
link of chain on each side on 12″ eye bolts and slide eye bolts through arms,
supports, and seat as shown. Using nuts and washers,tighten eye bolts until
they indent the surface.This will prevent the chain from coming loose from the
eye.
NOTE: Make sure that the two short, equal lengths of chain connect to the
swing arm while the longer length of chain attaches the swing to the ceiling
or swing frame.
STEP 4
Your package contains two eyebolts. These should be screwed into a solid
material (ceiling joists) as shown in Figure A. The screws should be spaced 46
inches apart for the H-24, and 58 inches apart for the H-25. Drill a 1/4 inch
pilot hole for each eyebolt and lubricate the threads with wax, oil, or soap
for easiest installation. Be sure to screw the ceiling hook completely into
the ceiling joists so that no threads are visible.
NOTE:
If the desired location of the swing does not match the overhead joist
location, a suitable 2×4 header should be attached to the joists. The hooks
may then be screwed into the header as shown in Figure B.
WARNING:
Periodically check the swing chain, ceiling hooks, and all hardware for signs
of wear and possible metal fatigue that could allow the swing to fall and
cause serious injury. Check all hardware to be sure bolts and nuts are tight.
Call our Customer Service Department for replacement parts.
NOTE:
The quick link is used to attach the chain to the eyebolt. In its open
position, it should be passed through the chain and the eyebolt.
The nut portion should be turmed onto the threads completely; then tightened
with pliers or a wrench.
