Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the safety and longevity of your Dolphin Playground swing set. The playset is constructed from high-quality cedar, known for its waterproof, anti-corrosion, and anti-crack properties.

Recommended Maintenance Schedule:

• Monthly:
  • Inspect all nuts and bolts for tightness. Tighten as necessary.
  • Check all protective coverings on bolts and sharp edges. Replace if damaged.
  • Examine all moving parts, including swing hangers and ropes, for wear, rust, or damage. Replace worn components immediately.
• Seasonally (Spring/Fall):
  • Clean the wooden surfaces with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.
  • Inspect the wood for any signs of cracking, splintering, or rot. Sand down splinters and consider applying a non-toxic sealant to protect the wood from weather elements.
  • Verify the stability of the ground anchors. Re-secure if any loosening is observed.

Troubleshooting

This section provides guidance for common issues you might encounter with your swing set.

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Loose Connections: If the playset feels wobbly or parts seem loose, inspect all nuts, bolts, and screws. Tighten any loose fasteners using appropriate tools. Refer to the assembly guide for correct torque specifications if available.
• Squeaking Sounds: Squeaking from moving parts, especially the swing hangers, can often be resolved by applying a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points. Avoid oil-based lubricants that can attract dirt.
• Wood Splinters: Over time, wood can develop splinters. Regularly inspect all wooden surfaces. If splinters are found, carefully sand them down until the surface is smooth. Consider applying a child-safe wood sealant.
• Playset Instability: If the playset appears unstable, re-check the ground anchors. Ensure they are fully embedded and secure. If the ground has shifted, you may need to re-level the playset and re-anchor it.
