Important ! Please Read Completely Before Beginning Installation.
According
to a report published by the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (C.P.S.C.)
72% of all playground injuries result from accidental falls. With this in mind, this
equipment is designed to fi ll the need for safe yet challenging play. In conjunction
with design efforts to reduce the possibilities of injuries, this equipment
must
be
installed "Step by Step" per our installation instructions. As a new owner you
are responsible for the correct installation, safe use, and maintenance of your
equipment.
Installation Guidelines
•
Identify all parts and thoroughly read the assembly instructions before
beginning construction.
•
Refer to your playground equipment plan and footing diagram to assure
the equipment purchased
will fi t into your selected site area. The use and no-
encroachment zones around the play equipment shall be obstacle-free areas
designated for unrestricted circulation.
• ASTM
compliance:
For rocking/springing equipment intended for standing,
the use zone should extend on all sides a minimum distance of 84 inches (2134
mm). This use zone may not be overlapped by the use zones of adjacent play
equipment. See diagram.
• CSA
compliance:
For rocking/springing equipment intended for standing,
the use zone should extend on all sides a minimum distance of 2100 mm. This
use zone may not be overlapped by the use zones of adjacent play equipment.
See diagram.
•
EN Compliance:
For rocking/springing equipment intended for standing, the
use zone should extend on all sides a minimum distance of 1500 mm.
•
Site layout is a critical part of the overall installation. Footings must be
measured and marked accurately according to the footing diagram. A level and
clear installation site is ideal.
•
Good drainage around the structure and its supports is important. Inquire
with local contractors for appropriate recommendations.
•
After laying out all footings and before digging holes, be sure to inquire about
underground utilities that may exist.
•
Do not leave the job site unattended without making sure that all fastening
hardware on all components are tightened according to tightening torque
specifi cations listed on every installation guide. We also recommend roping off
construction area and covering all holes that do not contain a piece of equipment
with plywood or other suitable material.
•
Excavate holes as shown in the footing detail. If a level and clear site cannot
be obtained, adjust the depth of footing to maintain a level footing base. If soil
conditions are loose or unstable, a larger diameter footing may be required. Inquire
with local contractors for appropriate recommendations. Be sure concrete that
might have splashed onto the unit is washed off before it dries. Allow concrete to
harden 72 hours before allowing your structure to be used.
Assemble the entire
structure before pouring concrete unless specifi cally instructed to do so in
the installation instructions.
•
Insure that Age Appropriate and Hard Surface Warning/Playworld Systems
identifi cation labels are properly affi xed to the play equipment. Labels are to be
plainly visible according to current playground equipment guidelines.
