Introduction
BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION OF YOUR
PLAYGROUND, PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS
THOROUGHLY.
SITE REQUIREMENTS:
The Playground system is designed to suit a level site. Should
there be any falls or slopes on the site; care should be taken to
accommodate the entry and exit points and to maintain the
correct height. There should not be more than 3” of drop in
grade per every 10’
The site must be inspected for adverse conditions:
All sites must be checked for existing utilities such as
electricity, gas, water or any other underground hazards. 1-
800-DIG-RITE is the number to call to have the services
located.

2. Roots, rocks, or other natural obstacles that may pose as
a trip hazard.
3. Poor drainage areas.
4. Broken glass or foreign objects around building site.
MAINTENANCE:
As an owner, it is most important that you are aware of your
responsibility to insure safe use of your new equipment. It is
necessary to install equipment correctly according to the
installation instructions provided and inspect the equipment at
regular intervals. During inspection, if any part is found
damaged or excessively worn, equipment should immediately
be put out of service while the part is replaced. Lack of
maintenance will result in premature wear, reduced life
expectancy, and possible failure that might result in injury.
All SportsPlay Equipment play events have been engineered to
meet all applicable safety guidelines, but if installed
improperly, these problems may occur:
•
Entrapment gaps (between 3 1/2” and 9”}
•
String Entanglements
•
Protrusions
Make sure that any bolt end that protrudes more than 2 threads
past the face of the nut is trimmed and deburred smoothly.
Always double-check your work.
Installation must adhere to the manufacturers assembly manual
and all other applicable safety guidelines.
PLAY AREA:
The area immediately above and around the play structure must
be free of any obstructions such as:
•
Trees
•
Other Play Equipment
•
Buildings
•
Overhead Power lines
Make sure the play area has all the required safety
surfacing and the minimum fall zones as required by the
safety guidelines. These guidelines can be found at
www.cpsc.gov.
CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES.
No playground is safe without adult supervision!
