Operating Instructions

The DOLPHIN PLAYGROUND T Wood Swing Set offers multiple play options:

Belt Swings: Two classic belt swings are included for traditional swinging.
Trapeze Bar: A trapeze bar provides an additional swinging and hanging activity.
Monkey Bar: The integrated monkey bar allows children to climb and develop upper body strength and balance.

Usage Guidelines:

Ensure only one child uses each swing or the trapeze bar at a time.
Instruct children to hold firmly onto the swing chains or trapeze bar handles.
Supervise children on the monkey bars to prevent falls.
Do not allow children to stand on the swings or twist the chains excessively.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the longevity and safety of your DOLPHIN PLAYGROUND T Wood Swing Set.

Routine Checks:

Monthly: Inspect all nuts and bolts for tightness. Tighten as necessary. Check for any sharp edges or protruding bolts.
Seasonally: Inspect all moving parts, including swing hangers, chains, and connections, for wear, rust, or damage. Replace any worn or damaged components immediately.
Wood Inspection: Check the cedar wood frame for cracks, splinters, or signs of rot. While the cedar is weather-resistant, regular inspection helps identify potential issues. Sand down any splinters and apply a wood sealant if desired to prolong the wood's life.
Ground Anchors: Verify that the ground anchors remain firmly embedded and the swing set is stable. Re-secure if any movement is detected.

Cleaning:

Clean the swing set with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the wood or plastic components.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Swing set feels unstable or wobbly.	Loose bolts or inadequate ground anchoring.	Tighten all bolts. Ensure ground anchors are fully secured and the set is on level ground. Consider additional anchoring if necessary.
Missing parts during assembly.	Parts may be in the second shipping box, or a component was overlooked.	Wait 1-2 days if only one box arrived. Double-check all packaging. Contact customer service if parts are genuinely missing.
Squeaking noises from swings.	Friction in swing hangers or chain connections.	Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to the swing hangers and chain connection points.
Wood developing splinters or cracks.	Natural wood aging or exposure to elements.	Sand down splinters. Apply a wood sealant or stain to protect the wood and prevent further cracking.
