Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and safety of your seesaw:

- Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and screws for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners.
- Rust Prevention: While designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to rust. If leaving outdoors, consider covering it or bringing it indoors during inclement weather to prevent rust and staining.
- Storage: Store the seesaw in a dry, covered area when not in use for extended periods to protect it from the elements.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Seesaw feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose bolts or uneven assembly. | Check all connections and tighten any loose bolts. Ensure the seesaw is on a flat, level surface. |
| Difficulty during assembly (holes not aligning). | Incorrect orientation of parts or minor manufacturing variations. | Do not fully tighten any bolts until all major components are loosely assembled. If a part doesn't fit, try rotating it or switching its position with a similar part. Apply gentle pressure to align holes if necessary. |
| Rust appearing on metal parts. | Prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh weather. | Clean affected areas and apply a rust-inhibiting paint or sealant. Store the seesaw indoors or cover it when not in use, especially in wet conditions. |
