6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Swing set feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose fasteners; inadequate ground anchoring; uneven ground. | Ensure all nuts and bolts are tightened. Verify ground anchors are fully inserted and secure. Consider cementing legs for maximum stability, especially on soft ground. Relocate to a more level surface if necessary. |
| Squeaking noises during use. | Friction at connection points or hangers. | Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to moving parts and connection points. |
| Swing ropes appear worn or frayed. | Normal wear and tear; exposure to elements. | Replace worn or frayed ropes immediately to prevent breakage and injury. Contact BAKAJI customer support for replacement parts. |
