Choosing A Location For Your Playset
Maintaining Your Playset
Do not install home playground equipment indoors,
or over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet
or any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface
can result in serious or fatal injury.
Responsible on-site adult supervision is one of the
most important contributions to children’s safety that
you can make. Jack & June strongly recommends on-
site adult supervision of children of all ages. Safe
swinging and climbing skills need to be taught to
children, just like any other physical activity.
The weight limit for any single user on Jack & June
play equipment is 150 pounds. Limit the number of
users to one on each swing. The tower portion of the
play system will accommodate four (4) additional
users.
When the time comes to disassemble and dispose of
the play equipment, do so in such a way that no
hazards will exist at the time the equipment is
discarded.
When selecting your structure site, always keep the
child’s safety in mind. Here are some recommendations
to help you create a safe play area.
A. The playset should be located on level ground. The
stationary components such as ladders and slides are
REQUIRED to be a minimum of six feet from any structure
or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, tree or
overhanging branches, electrical wires or clotheslines.
Any swinging equipment is also
to be a
REQUIRED
minimum distance twice the height of the swing beam
away from these obstructions or structures as well. We
also recommend that you do not install your playset
near a lake, river, swimming pool or other water hazard.
B.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
recommends that you install and maintain a resilient
surface under your play equipment. The CPSC’s
Consumer Information Sheet for Playground Surfacing
Materials at the end of this manual. A resilient surface,
should be installed after the equipment has been
completely assembled according to these instructions.
The equipment must rest on solid ground. Please note
that this product has a maximum fall height of 8’.
Welcome to our family of ready-to-build backyard play equipment. Jack & June playsets are designed with ease of
assembly in mind and we provide these step-by-step installation instructions.
After reading the information below, locate your structure site and carefully unpack parts. As you unpack your playset,
keep the parts identification sheet handy and become familiar with each part before beginning assembly. Remember that
a little extra time spent familiarizing yourself with the parts and instructions before you begin will help you avoid mistakes
and save you time later.
Here are some maintenance tips required to insure safe enjoyment of your equipment for years to come.
A. At the beginning of each usage season and every two weeks during, check: nuts and bolts and tighten as needed,
swing seats, chains, ladders, slides, rope and wood components for signs of deterioration and replace if necessary.
B. On a yearly basis, we recommend that you coat your playset with a sealant or preservative. You may also want to spot
sand any areas prior to sealing. Be sure that the sealant you select is non-toxic and child safe.
C. Do not use line trimmers or “weed eaters” around your play equipment. The line will remove both stain and wood
from uprights and base pieces. Any damage resulting from this type of abuse is not covered under our limited
warranty.
D. Remove plastic swing seats and take indoors or do not use when the temperature drops below 0
º
F.
