Warnings (cont)
install your play set over hard surface, e.g. asphalt, concrete, packed earth, tile or brick
floor. Please refer to the CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION’S OUTDOOR HOME
PLAYGROUND SAFETY HANDBOOK for detailed guidelines to prevent injuries from falls
and other hazards on public and home playgrounds.
SELECT PROTECTIVE SURFACING
One of the most important things you can do to reduce the likelihood of serious head
injury’s is to install shock-absorbing protective surfacing under and around your play
equipment. The Protective surfacing should be applied to a depth that is suitable for the
equipment height in accordance with ASTM F1292.
NOTE: DO NOT install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, or any other
hard surface. A Fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to the equipment user.
Grass and dirt are not considered protective surfacing because wear and environmental
factors can reduce their shock absorbing effectiveness.
Carpeting and thin mats are generally not adequate protective surfacing. Ground Level
equipment - such as Sand-Box, activity wall, playhouse or other equipment that has no
elevated play surface - does not need any protective surfacing.
WARNINGS ON ANCHORING
It is highly recommended the product be anchored into the ground to prevent movement
and to make the swing set more stable during use.
Some consumers want an anchoring system that allows the product to be moved to
different locations. Other consumers want to keep their swing set in a permanent location.
It is highly recommended that you seek the opinion from a local licensed contractor on
the best way to secure the swing set in your location. The best way to anchor a product is
to create a concrete footing and use that as a base for an anchor. Whatever method you
prefer for your location, an anchoring system for this product should be used at all times.
WEATHER CONDITIONS
1. DO NOT use this equipment if the swing seat, slide or any parts are wet. Use the play
set only when the parts are clean and dry. If the equipment is wet, the user could slip
and suffer injuries.
2. Please be aware of weather conditions when using the equipment. If it is too windy,
users could lose control and suffer injuries. The playground equipment must be
properly anchored, stored away or restricted from use during inclement weather such
as heavy winds or severe weather storms. You should consult a local contractor about
ways to anchor the product in your location.
