The information is intended to assist in comparing the relative shock-absorbing properties of various material. No particular
method is recommended over another. However, every material is only effective when properly maintained. Materials should be
checked periodically and replenished to maintain correct depth as determined necessary for your equipment. The choice of a
material depends on the type and height of the playground equipment, the availability of material in your area and its cost.

For extended use, remove plastic swing seats and take indoors when the temperature drops below 32º F.
•
Oil all metallic moving parts monthly during the usage season.
•

needed. It is particularly important that all coverings are checked prior to the first use each season.
