STEP 6A: LEVELING THE PLAY SET AND LAGS

1: INSTALL LAG SCREWS ONLY IN THE FOUR 2 X 6 BOARDS AT DECK HEIGHT AT THIS TIME.

SQUARE EACH OF THESE FOUR BOARDS TO THE CORNER POSTS AND THEN INSTALL THE

LAG SCREWS. THIS IS TO MAKE THE STRUCTURE RIGID FOR THE LEVELING AND

SQUARING PROCESS.

2: PLACE THE FRAME IN ITS FINAL POSITION AND FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES AT THE FRONT

OF THE MANUAL TO LEVEL AND SQUARE THE STRUCTURE. HAVE AN ASSISTANT HELP YOU

LIFT THE FRAME AS REQUIRED. DO NOT INSTALL REMAINING LAG SCREWS UNTIL AFTER THE

FRAME HAS BEEN LEVELED AND SQUARED.

3: ONCE THE FRAME IS LEVEL, SQUARE AND SET INTO POSITION; GO BACK AND INSERT

THE 5/16" X 3-1/2" LAG SCREWS AND 5/16" WASHERS IN ALL THE REMAINING HOLES OF

THE 2 X 6 PARTS ON THE FRONT, SIDES AND REAR OF THE PLAY SET. NOTE: THERE WILL NOT

BE ANY PREDRILLED HOLES IN THE CORNER POSTS FOR THE LAG SCREWS.
