Adventure Playsets The Meridian 65009, Owner'S Manual And Assembly Instructions

Positioning Your Playcenter
1. The Playcenter is designed to be installed on a level surface by an Adult with an
Adult helper . Place in a flat area of your yard to minimize ground preparation.
2. Choose a level location for the equipment. This can reduce the likelihood of the
play set tipping over and loose-fill surfacing material washing away during heavy
rains.
3. Place the equipment not less than 6 ft from any structure or obstruction such as a
fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical wires.
4. Provide enough room so that the children can use the equipment safely. For
example, for structures with multiple play activities, a slide should not exit in front of
a swing.
5. It is a good idea to place your Playcenter in an area that is convenient for adults to
watch children at play.
6. Create a site free of obstacles that could cause injuries – such as low overhanging
tree branches, overhead wires, tree stumps and/or roots, large rocks, bricks and
concrete. We have additional suggestions in the Suggested Playground Surfacing
Section.
7. Do not build your playset on top of surfacing material.
8. Locate bare metal platforms and slides out of direct sunlight to reduce the likelihood
of serious burns. A slide that faces north will receive the least direct sunlight.
9.
Separate active and quiet activities from each other. For example, locate sandboxes
away from swings or use a guardrail or barrier to separate the sandbox from the
movement of the swings.
