INSPECTION PRIOR TO EACH USE OR DAILY INSPECTION

DO NOT use the equipment if any bolts or nuts are missing or loose. ALWAYS check to ensure the
equipment and all parts are well secured and stable before each use.

ALWAYS clear the play area of any rocks, sharp objects, or any materials that could be potentially hazardous
to users.

DO NOT attach items to the equipment that are not specifically designed for use with the equipment,
including, but not limited to, jump ropes, clothesline, pet leashes, cables and chains as they may cause
choke hazards.

The steel and plastic parts used in your product are subject to normal wear. Gradual deterioration of the
material will occur, the speed of which will depend on the level of exposure to UV rays, airborne pollution,
outdoor weather conditions such as rain and wind and the amount of use. You must inspect the equipment
prior to every use. This includes, but is not limited to inspecting the set for cracks, excess wear, missing
parts, loose connections, and for overall integrity. When the set shows any signs of weakness, you must
stop using the play set immediately, properly store the set or restrict access by users until the condition is
resolved.

Verify that the suspended climbing ropes, chain or cable are secured at both ends and tightened, so that
there is no loose ropes, chain or cable hanging that can result in choking hazard.
When conducting inspections, it is recommended that you use the Suggested General Maintenance
C hecklis t and R outine Ins pection and Maintenance Is s ues checklis ts provided by the US C ons umer
P roduct S afety C ommis s ion, a copy of which is contained in this us er manual.
