ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Now the basic tower is assembled, it's time to decide where the accessory play features will mount. Consult the 

package guide for your specific layout. Install the accessory play features before installing wall slats.

This document continues with the access ladder and slide installation required for almost all packages. Be sure to 

adapt the placement for your play package.

5/16 x 1-1/2" 

Hex Bolts

STEP 18 — Access Ladder:

Loosely fasten two Access Brackets to the Access Ladder (BB) 

using one 5/16" x 1-1/2" hex bolt assembly each, as shown.
Rest the ladder against the platform side. Make sure the bottom 

is securely on the ground. The left edge of the access ladder 

should be 11" from the end of the platform side.
Check behind the platform support where the brackets rest for 

interference before drilling. The brackets can be mounted to the 

inside of the ladder rails if needed. Mark and drill 3/8" diameter 

holes through the platform side. Fasten each bracket to the 

platform side using one 5/16 x 1-1/2" hex bolt assembly.
Note: The access ladder can be mounted on any side of the 

gym, provided the placement does not interfere with other 

accessories. The access ladder must be mounted well clear of 

any swing accessories. Provide space to mount entrance slats 

and hand grips on either side of the access ladder.

STEP 19 — Swing Mount:

The Swing Mount (D) can be attached to any side of a gym. One 

swing mount is used for a 7 Ft swing beam. No swing mounts are 

needed for a 9 Ft Swing Beam.
See the instructions that come with your swing frame for the 

steps required to install swing mounts.

STEP 20 — Safety Rail:

If you are mounting a swing beam to this gym, install the Safety 

Rail (A) to keep children from walking into the swing area. With 

no swings, the safety rail is not needed.
Fasten the safety rail to the corner posts on the same side of the 

tower as the swings using two 5/16 x 3" lag screws with 5/16" flat 

washers as shown. Use the pre-drilled holes provided.
