It is recommended that a shock absorbing material should extend a minimum of 6’ in all directions from the perimeter of the 
stationary equipment such as climbers and slides.  However, because children may deliberately jump from a moving swing, the 
shock absorbing material should extend in front and rear of the swing a minimum distance of 2 times the height of the pivot point 
measured from a point directly beneath the pivot on the supporting structure. 
 
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.  
 
(The information above has been extracted from CPSC documents ‘Playground Surfacing – technical Information guide” and 
“Handbook for public Playground Safety.”  Copies of these documents can be obtained by sending a postcard to the: Office of 
Public Affairs, USCPSC, Washington D.C., 20207 or by calling 1-800-638-2772.

 

 
 

CARE AND MAINTENANCE 

 

 

Check all nuts and bolts twice monthly during the usage season for tightness and tighten as required.  It is particularly 
important that all nuts and bolts are checked prior to the first use each season.   

 

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. 

 

Check all coverings for bolts and sharp edges weekly during usage season to be certain they are in place.  Replace as 
needed.  It is particularly important that all coverings are checked prior to the first use each season. 

 

Sand any rusted areas of the tubing and repaint with a non-lead based paint meeting the requirements of Title 16 CFR 
Part 1303. 

 

 

LOCATION AND PLACEMENT OF YOUR SWING SET 

 

 

Place your swing set a MINIMUM of six (6) feet from any other hard or fixed object.   

 

Do not place your swing set underneath electrical lines.  If you must, ensure that there is a minimum overhead 
clearance of six (6) feet. 

 

Please note the CPSC surfacing materials recommendations on page 3.   

 
 

TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY 

 

Your swing set comes with two 5mm Allen wrenches for the assembly of most of this product.  You may also need to have the 
following tools available:  

 

 

Adjustable wrench  

 

Phillips screwdriver 

 

Needle-nose pliers 

 
Although we take pride in the quality of our swing sets, on occasion there may be a burr or rough part which will require a metal 
file to remove before use.
