Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a AXI playhouse.
AXI makes every effort to design and manufacture a robust, safe product. In choosing this product, you have bought a
product you will enjoy for many years.
1. Safety
AXI playhouses are tested and approved in accordance with the EN71 toy standard and carry the CE mark and EN71 logo.
1.1 Safety Instructions:
•
Do not allow children to play without (parental) supervision.
•
Climbing or playing on the roof of a AXI playhouse is not permitted.
•
AXI playhouses are suitable for up to two children and one adult (maximum weight - 150 Kg.).
2. Assembly
•
The assembly of the playhouse must only be done by an adult.
•
It is strongly recommended that a AXI playhouse with a raised base framework should be anchored with an anchoring
set (can be purchased separately). This increases the stability and therefore the safety of the playhouse.
•
Do not place the AXI playhouse on a hard surface, such as concrete or asphalt. A fall from the playhouse onto a hard
surface can cause serious injury. A shock-absorbent surface, for at least 1.50 meters around the AXI playhouse, like
grass, wood chips or sand is required for playhouses higher than 60.0 cm.
• Place the AXI playhouse on a flat surface and at least 2.00 metres away from other structures and other obstacles such
as house walls, garage, fence, overhanging branches or clotheslines.
•
Do not place the AXI playhouse on a surface that will remain damp. This can be achieved by using the anchoring set or
for AXI playhouses without a raised base framework by placing a paving stone between each corner of the playhouse
and the ground.
•
For the AXI playhouses with a slide, it is recommended the house should be sited so that the slide does not face south.
The temperature of the slide can be increased considerably simply by the heat of the sun.
•
The distance between the rocking element and the ground must be at least 35 cm.
3. Material
AXI playhouses are made of Cunninghamia lanceolata with FSC quality mark. This wood has a natural resistance to wood
rot and pests. To give the wood an extra protective layer and to finish off the wood, it has been treated with a water-based
stain. This stain, which is based on natural components, is not harmful to humans or the environment.
4. Maintenance
•
Check whether all the nuts are on the bolts and whether there are any sharp edges, replace part as necessary.
•
It is necessary to check regularly for splinters, loose screws and the tightness of joints and/or fastenings. If necessary,
nuts and bolts must be tightened. ‘Regularly means: when you put it up and twice a month during the outdoor play
season.
•
Once a year check the state of the protective stain layer. To ensure the optimum durability, the AXI playhouse needs
to be given a new coat of stain every two years. Use a water-based paint / stain based on natural components for this.
