BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION OF YOUR PLAYGROUND, 
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY. 

BEFORE BEGINNING 

SITE REQUIREMENTS 

The Playground system is designed to suit a level site. Should there be any falls 
or slopes on the site; care should be taken to accommodate the entry and exit points 
and to maintain the correct height. There should not be more than 3” of drop in grade 
per every 10’. 
 
The site must be inspected for natural obstacles such as roots or rocks that may 
be a trip hazard, poor drainage and sharp objects such as glass.   

Every state has different rules and regulations governing digging, some are 
stricter than others. In addition, 62 separate One Call Centers serve different 
areas of the country; now 811 will connect you directly to your local One Call 
Center.  Prior to digging, be sure to call 811 or the local One Call Center to 
prevent accidentally disrupting local utility service. 

MAINTENANCE: 

As an owner, it is most important that you are aware of your responsibility to 
insure safe use of your new equipment. It is necessary to install equipment 
according to the installation instructions provided and inspect the equipment at 
regular intervals. During inspection, if any part is found damaged or excessively worn, 
equipment should be closed immediately.  A maintenance section is included in the 
appendix of this instruction booklet. 
 
If a part is missing or damaged the playground must be put out of service while 
the part is replaced. Lack of maintenance will result in premature wear, reduced 
life expectancy, and possible failure that may result in injury. 
All SportsPlay Equipment play events have been engineered to meet all 
applicable safety guidelines, but if installed Improperly, these problems may 
occur: 

 

Entrapment gaps (between 3 1/2” and 9”) 

 

String Entanglements 

 

Protrusions 

 
Make sure that any bolt end that protrudes more than 2 threads past the face of the 
nut is trimmed and de-burred smoothly. Always double-check your work. 
 
Installation must adhere to the manufacturer’s assembly manual and all other applicable 
safety guidelines. 

PLAY AREA: 

The area immediately above and around the play structure must be free of any 
obstructions such as: 

 

Trees 

 

Other Play Equipment 

 

Buildings 

 

Overhead Power lines 

 

Make sure the play area has all the required safety surfacing and the 
minimum fall zones as required by the safety guidelines. These guidelines can 
be found at 

www.cpsc.gov

 

CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES. No playground is 

safe without adult supervision! 

There may be situations that require you to modify the layout or use your own 
judgment.  If you have any questions contact you distributor.   

Reading this entire manual before beginning the installation will help you to 
ensure your equipment is installed and maintained correctly.
