Assembly Manual Retention: The manual must be retained as it contains important information for future reference.
Replacement Parts: Information on ordering replacement parts is available on the manufacturer's website (www.backyarddiscovery.com).
Level Ground Requirement: The set must be placed on level ground, and the fort should be level during assembly to prevent improper assembly.
Clearance Requirements: A safe play area of at least 6'-7" (2m) must be maintained around the swing set, free from any structures or obstructions like fences, garages, houses, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical wires.
Regular Inspections: Although not explicitly detailed in the provided snippets, typical maintenance for swing sets includes regular checks of hardware for tightness, wood for splinters or cracks, and accessories for wear and tear.
Slide Installation: Proper installation of the slide bed into the rail channels is critical to prevent injury or amputation from exposed slide edges.
Swing Hanger Orientation: Swing hangers must be perpendicular to the swing beam when tightened.
Swing Height Adjustment: The bottom of the swing seat, when a child is sitting on it, should be no lower than 13 7/8 inches (35 cm) from the ground.
Web Swing Leveling: "S" brackets on the web swing should be adjusted to ensure straight swinging motion and a level seat.
Ground Stake Installation: Ground stakes should be twisted into the ground, and pilot holes drilled using the stake as a guide for hardware.
T-Nut Installation: T-nuts should be installed into boards before assembly for ease.
Pilot Drilling: Pilot drilling is recommended for certain installations, such as the telescope, using a 1/8" (3 mm) drill bit.
Rope Knotting: For climbing ropes and rope ladders, knots should be added evenly spaced and tied tightly to secure the rope.

The manual also emphasizes the importance of adult assembly and warns that the product is not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts. It is intended for domestic and outdoor use only. The inclusion of a BILT app for 3D interactive instructions is a modern usage feature to aid in assembly.
