Good judgment and respect for power tools will greatly reduce the risk of injury. Follow
all tool manufacturers’ safety guidelines. Always wear eye protection and safety gloves to
prevent injury. Two people may be required for lifting and securing of parts. Keep children
away from slide during construction. Bolts and screw heads should be checked regularly
for tightness. The seller and/or manufacturer shall not be liable for incidental, indirect or
consequential damages or injuries that result from the building and/or playing on this slide.
Playgrounds should be inspected on a regular basis. If any of the following conditions are
noted, they should be removed, corrected, or repaired immediately to prevent injuries.
□
Hardware that is loose, worn or that has protrusions or projections.
□
Exposed equipment footings.
□
Scattered debris, litter, rocks, or tree roots.
□
Splinters, large cracks, and decayed wood components.
□
Deterioration and corrosion on structural components, which connect to the ground.
□
Missing or damaged equipment components, such as handholds, guardrails, swing seats.
□
Check all nuts and bolts frequently during the usage season and tighten as required.
(But not so tight that you crack the wood) It is particularly important that this procedure be followed
at the beginning of each season.
□
Check all coverings for bolts and sharp edges twice monthly during usage season to be certain
they are in place. Replace when necessary. It is especially important to do this at the beginning of
each new season.
□
Rake the playground surface periodically to prevent compaction and maintain appropriate
depths.
