Slide Support Assembly
(A) Use liquid thread lock (such as Loctite
®
) with all threaded hardware.
Important:
Liquid thread lock (prior to
curing) helps to eliminate the common problem of "thread seizure" in stainless steel hardware by serving as a
lubricant during assembly.
(B) Do not pour concrete until the equipment is completely assembled, leveled and plumbed. Concrete must be
allowed to cure completely before using the equipment (at least 72 hours).
(C) Refer to Installation Manual for R5-1349 Portal Slide Entry, 1708 Tube Supports Assembly, 1710 Twister
Slide, 1710-SUP Twister Slide Support Assembly and 1709-(YOUR SLIDE) Portal Slide Configuration
installation instructions.
(D) For slides with an entry elevation of 48" [1219mm] or greater, the exit height must be between 7" [180mm]
and 15" [380mm] from finish grade. Exit region must always have a downward slope between 0° and 4°.
(E) All bolt threads protruding beyond the nut must be cut and de-burred until end is smooth to the touch. Sharp
edges and/or points of any kind must be eliminated. A maximum of two threads may be exposed beyond the
end of the nut.
(F) An appropriate energy absorbing safety surface is required under and around all playground equipment.
Loose fill protective surfacing is shown only as an example for the purpose of this assembly instruction. Other
surfacing material may vary in thickness and/or compression depths. See free publication - The Handbook for
Public Playground Safety, Publication #325 at www.cpsc.gov for the surfacing appropriate for the fall height of
the equipment or consult your surfacing supply representative.
