Safety and Maintenance Tips for Your New Play Set:
NOTE: Your children’s safety is our #1 concern. Observing the
following statements and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious
or fatal injury. Please review these safety rules regularly with your
children.
• This play set is designed for the use of 4 occupants who have a combined weight not
exceeding 800 pounds on the elevated floor, 3 occupants who have a combined weight
of 425 pounds on the swing area, for a total Unit capacity of 7 occupants who have a
combined weight of 1225. (This weight does not include any picnic table area(s).)
• On-site adult supervision is required.
• Teach children not to walk close to, in front of, behind, or between moving swings or other
moving playground equipment.
• Teach children to sit in and never stand on swings
• Teach children not to twist the chains and ropes and not to loop them over the swing beam,
since this may reduce the strength of the chain or rope.
• Teach children not to jump from swings or other playground equipment in motion.
• Teach children not to push empty seats. The seat may hit them and cause serious injury.
• Teach children to sit in the center of the swings with their full weight on the seats.
• Teach children not to use the equipment in a manner other than intended.
• Teach children to always go down slides feet first. Never slide headfirst.
• Teach children to look before they slide to make sure no one is at the bottom.
• Teach children to never run up a slide, as this increases their chances of falling.
• The parents should have the children dress appropriately with well-fitting shoes. Loose clothing
such as scarves and ponchos should not be worn. Always take off, tie up or tuck in cords and
drawstrings on children’s clothing. These things can get caught on playground equipment and
strangle a child.
• Teach children not to climb when the equipment is wet.
• Teach children to never jump from a fort deck. They should always use the ladder, ramp or
slide.
• Teach children to never crawl or walk across the top of monkey bars or swing beam.
• Teach children to never crawl on top of a fort roof or on the outside of a tube slide.
• Teach children to never carry items down a slide with them.
• Verify that any suspended climbing ropes, chains, or cables are secured at both ends and that
they cannot be looped around an adult hand.
• Teach children not to attach items to the playground equipment that are not specifically
designed for use with the equipment, such as, but not limited to, jump ropes, clothesline, pet
leashes, cables and chain as they may cause a strangulation hazard.
• Teach children to never wrap their legs around swing chain.
• Teach children to never slide down the swing chain.
• Teach children to remove their bike or other sports helmet before playing on the playgound
equipment.
• Teach children to NEVER look at the sun or other bright light through any accessory such as
but not limited to a telescope, periscope or binoculars.
WARNING: Children must NOT use this play set until it has been completely
