LOCATION OF UFO swing
-
The equipment must be placed more than six (6) feet (1.8 meters) from any structures or obstructions, including but
not limited to buildings, fence, garage, trees, laundry lines, electrical wires. Children can be seriously injured running or
swinging into obstacles.
-
The UFO swing must be installed on level ground. Uneven ground must be leveled prior to installation. Installation on
sloping or uneven ground will put stress on the joints, causing the unit to become loose and unstable which may result
in serious injuries.
-
Remove any tripping hazards from the safe play area, such as roots, tree stumps, rocks, landscaping, sprinkler
heads, railroad ties, plumbing and electrical connections.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Outdoor Home Playground Safety Handbook recommends to install and
maintain the swing equipment over at least 9 inches of wood chips, mulch or shredded rubber
(for equipment up to 8 feet high) or sand or pea gravel (for equipment no more than 5 feet high) as shock absorbing
material. Dirt and grass, which are the most prevalent surfaces under home playground equipment,
do not adequately protect children from serious head injuries. For swings, the surface should extend, in back and front,
twice the height of the suspending bar. You should consult a local contractor about ways to secure the product in your
location. Do not install your UFO swing 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.
Do not install your UFO swing over hard surface, e.g. asphalt, concrete, packed earth, tile or
brick floor. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury or death to the user.
