WARNING
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLING OR USING THIS PLAY SET
INSPECTION PRIOR TO EACH USE OR DAILY INSPECTION
•
DO NOT use the equipment if any bolts or nuts are missing or loose. ALWAYS check to ensure the
equipment and all parts are well secured and stable before each use.
ALWAYS clear the play area of any rocks, sharp objects, or any materials that could be potentially hazardous
to users.
•
DO NOT attach items to the equipment that are not specifically designed for use with the equipment,
including but not limited to jump ropes, clothesline, pet leashes, cables and chains as they may cause choking
hazards.
•
The materials used in your product are subject to normal wear. Gradual deterioration of the material will
occur, the speed of which will depend on the level of exposure to UV rays, airborne pollution, outdoor weather
conditions such as rain, wind and the amount of use. You must inspect the product prior to every use. This
includes, but is not limited to inspecting the set for cracks, excess wear, missing parts, loose connections, and
for overall integrity. When the set shows any signs of weakness, you must stop using the play set immediately,
properly store the set or restrict access by users until the condition is resolved.
CHOOSING A SITE
•
When you choose a home playground, a location away from roads and driveways and readily visible from
inside the home and patios or porches is important.
•
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.
•
Choose a level location for the play set. This can reduce the likelihood of the play set tipping over and
loose-fill surfacing materials washing away during heavy rains. Some sites may need regrading to improve
drainage or to reduce the slope.
•
Locate play set at least 6 metres from any structure or obstacles, such as a house, fence, sheds, trees or
poles. Swings should be further away from structures to the front and rear of the swings with a distance equal
to twice the height of the top bar from which the swing is suspended.
•
Locate bare metal platforms and slides out of direct sunlight to reduce the likelihood of serious burns.
slide that faces north will receive the least direct sunlight.
SELECT PROTECTIVE SURFACING
One of the most important things you can do to reduce the likelihood of serious head injuries is to install shock
absorbing protective surfacing under and around your play set. The protective surfacing should be applied to a
depth that is suitable for the equipment height in accordance with ASTM F1292. There are
different types of surfacing to choose from; whichever product you select, follow these guidelines:
