INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY, MAINTENANCE AND USE OF TP TOYS
Please read carefully and keep all enclosed information or future reference.
1. ASSEMBLY AND SAFETY INFORMATION
This TP product must be treated and assembled before use by an adult/adults.
This product is made from natural European pinewood that is untreated. Therefore, before you assemble the product, it
is essential to treat both sides of each part with an environmentally friendly/child friendly preservative. Please follow
the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the treatment you select.
Wood is a natural product so it will have knots, splits and and imperfections. This is to be anticipated and does not indicate
the product is faulty. Wood will also change over time with changes in the weather and atmospheric conditions. Splits will
open up and close again. It may warp and twist slightly. Again this is to be expected and does not affect the performance of
the product.
The TP product must be erected exactly in accordance with the assembly instructions. Enlisting the aid of a helper will make
assembly easier. In order to ensure the correct tensions and to ease assembly, it is important to assemble the product hand
tight to begin with. Only when complete, should the fastenings be fully tightened and checked. This pack may contain small
parts and is not suitable for children under 36 months. We recommend that you place small parts on a tray, or something
similar, to prevent the frustration and disappointment of mislaying them. Please take care during assembly as the
manufacturing process can sometimes result in the occasional sharp edge and small pieces of waste metalwork. Should
there be any missing parts, the toy must not be used until replacement parts have been fitted - contact the TP Customer

2. SITING
Under no circumstances should this TP product be positioned on hard surface such as concrete or asphalt, unless the
ground under the toy plus the recommended freespace area is covered with a safety surface (please refer to diagram on
page 15). Examples of suitable surfaces are grass, sand or a play surface intended for this use. TP toys should be sited on
level ground.
3. USAGE
The toy is designed and made for family outdoor domestic use only by children aged between 3 and 6 yearsand must not
be used by anybody else. Misuse can result in injury to the child or damage to the product. The maximum single user
weight is 30kg. The maximum combined user weight is 50kg.
4. SUPERVISION
Children should always be supervised while they are playing on TP toys and should be instructed not to use the toy in an
inappropriate or hazardous manner. We recommend that they do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery that may catch
or snag during play. Children should not wear cycle helmets while playing on TP toys.
5. WEATHER CONDITIONS
Special care should be taken as weather conditions change. In particular, outdoor toys can become slippery in wet weather
and tongues and lips can stick to metalwork at subzero temperatures. In warmer and sunnier weather, parts can become
hot, and the temperature should be regularly checked during play, especially metal parts and slides. If there is any doubt
over safety then the toys should not be used. We recommend that you check the product in relationship to the orientation of
the activity toy (e.g. swings) in relation to its exposure to the sun. Product may become hot!
6. MAINTENANCE
With all toys it is vital that the equipment is checked regularly and often by an adult. The complete toy should be checked at
least once a month, and particular attention should be paid to connections and fastenings. If any parts exhibit signs of wear
and tear, they may need to be replaced. Check all nuts and bolts and screws for tightness and tighten when required.
Failure to do this may result in the product malfunctioning and causing injury. Children must not be allowed to use the toy
until properly installed and checked.
Please protect your product with a annual application of environmentally friendly/child friendly treatment or as
recommended in the manufacturer’s instructions.
7. FIRE RISKS AND DISPOSAL
Do not place this product near a fire. When it becomes necessary to dispose of your equipment, remove all bolts/screws
and disassemble. Store out of the reach of children until it can be properly disposed of.
These instructions are issued in the interest of child safety, and we do ask you to follow our advice.
