POURED-IN-PLACE SURFACES OR PRE-MANUFACTURED RUBBER TILES
You may be interested in using surfacing other than loose-fill materials – like rubber
tiles or poured-in-place surfaces.
•
Installations of these surfaces generally require a professional and are not
“do-it-yourself” projects.
•
Review surface specifications before purchasing this type of surfacing.
Ask the installer/ manufacturer for a report showing that the product
has been tested to the following safety standard: ASTM F1292 Standard
Specification for Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials within the Use
Zone of Playground Equipment. This report should show the specific height
for which the surface is intended to protect against serious head injury. This
height should be equal to or greater than the fall height-vertical distance
between a designated play surface (elevated surface for standing, sitting, or
climbing) and the protective surfacing below-of your play equipment.
•
Check the protective surfacing frequently for wear.
PLACEMENT
Proper placement and maintenance of protective surfacing is essential. Be sure to:
•
Extend surfacing at least 72 in. from the equipment in all directions.
•
For to-and-fro swings, extend protective surfacing in front of and behind the
swing to a distance equal to twice the height of the top bar from which the
swing is suspended.
•
For tire swings, extend surfacing in a circle whose radius is equal to the
height of the suspending chain or rope, plus 6 feet in all directions.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
•
An adult should supervise play on this product for children of all ages.
•
Only for family residential domestic use.
•
Designed for single rider. LIMIT: 1 child per swing.
•
Maximum fall height 6.5 ft. (determined by swing pivot point, maximum
hanging rope length and 24 in. above ground surface).
OPERATION WARNING:
Riders should be dressed appropriately including wearing well-fitting shoes that
fully protect feet. Remove articles before swinging that create hazards when they
get tangled and caught (examples include ponchos, scarves, and other loose-fitting
clothing, bike or sports helmets). Adhere to the following guidelines for operation: Do
not swing the swing higher than hook attachment
(See Figure: 7)
• Remove rider from
the swing only after it has completely stopped • Do not twist swing chains or ropes or
loop them over the top support bar since this may reduce the strength of the chain
or rope • Avoid swinging empty seats • Do not walk close to, in front of, or behind, or
between moving items
(See Figure: 8)
• Rider should sit in center of the swing with
full weight in the seat • Do not use the equipment in a manner other than intended •
Do not attach items to the playground equipment or support structure that the swing
is attached to that are not specifically designed for use with the equipment, such as,
but not limited to, jump ropes, clothesline, pet leashes, cables and chain as they may
cause a strangulation hazard • Do not climb swing when it is wet • When the swing is
in direct sunlight, check that seating surface is not too hot.
