WARNING
BEFORE YOU BEGIN ASSEMBLY
:
Take a complete inventory of components using the parts list.
Sort and lay out the wood pieces. Label each piece of wood for easy reference.
For easy
identification during the assembly process, write the board’s letter on masking tape and
adhere to each piece of the wood. Some wooden components may twist or warp in the
carton after packaging. Usually, these parts straighten out when assembled. You may also
see some cracking of the grain. This is normal.
Sort all hardware according to size. Do not worry if extra hardware is included.
Find a safe play location.
You MUST install the Wooden Swing Set on level ground. Uneven ground must be leveled
prior to installation. The manufacturer cannot assume responsibility for any failure from
incorrect installation. Installing on sloping ground will put stress on all the joints, which will
cause the set to become loose and unstable.
Find a location where the equipment can be placed more than 6 feet from any structure or
obstruction (ex: electrical wires, branches, house, fence, garage) The safe play area refers
to a zone extending 6’ beyond the gym set on all sides, including the space above the gym
set.
The safe play area must be free of all structures, landscaping, tress and branches, rocks,
wires and other obstacles to safe play. Children can be seriously injured running or
swinging into these obstacles.
Remove any rocks or any jagged or sharp object that could endanger your children’s’ safety.
Remove all tripping hazards from the safe play area. Tripping hazards include but are not
limited to: roots, stumps, rocks, landscaping, sprinkler heads, railroad ties, plumbing, and
electrical connections.
Do NOT install your swing set over gravel, asphalt, packed earth or any other hard surface.
