581-422 12’ PRIMARY TRIPOD SWING 

Installation Guide 

 

 

 

Important 

Please read completely before beginning installation. 

 
This equipment has been designed for safety as well as challenge and fun.  This 
equipment has been designed to reduce injuries and therefore must be installed 
“Step by Step” per our Instructions. 
 
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published a report 
stating 79% of all playground injuries treated in U.S. Emergency Rooms was the 
result of a fall.  It is critical that you refer to the Protective Surfacing section of 
these instructions, located on the next page prior to installing your playground.  
As the owner you are responsible for the safe installation of not only the play 
equipment, but also the safety of the site. 
 

When your receive your playground 

 

Identify all parts by comparing them to the part list and component 
instruction pages. 

 

Always compare the number of pallets, cartons or other items the BOL 
has listed with the number actually received.  Note the any discrepancies 
on the BOL. 

 

Also note any obvious damage to the packing materials, pallets or 
components on the BOL. 

 

Equipment should be inventoried and installed within a few days of 
receipt.  The packing materials are meant to protect the equipment 
during shipping and not for storage.  Heat, weather and sunlight can 
damage the packing materials, which can impact the components.  If 
storage is required you must store the equipment in a controlled 
environment away from heat, moisture and sunlight.  SportsPlay 
recommends carefully unpacking the unit and taking an inventory before 

storing the equipment.  Care should be taken with all powder coated and 
thermoplastic-coated parts to prevent damage to the coating.  

 

You have 30 days from receipt of your equipment to file a claim for 
missing or damaged parts. 

Before you begin 

Review your playground footing and top view drawings to ensure your site is 
large enough.  These guidelines are available from the CPSC (contact 
information for the CPSC is located on the next page). 

 

Read through the entire instruction booklet before beginning the actual 
installation. 

 

Before you begin preparing the site or digging any holes you must first 
contact you local utility companies so they can visit the site and mark all 
of the buried utilities.  In the U.S. you may call 811 and your call will be 
routed to your local utility center. 

 

This equipment was designed to install on a clear and level site.  There 
should be no more than 3” of grade variations in a 10’ span. 

 

Footing layout is the first critical step once the installation begins.  Mark 
all holes using the footing diagram.  Prior to digging holes compare the 
measurements from the footing diagram to the actual site markings to 
ensure accuracy.  Then check it again! (Footing info is located on pg 16 
in this guide) 

 

Our posts are manufactured to accommodate 12” of protective surfacing. 

 

Evaluate the site for drainage.  To ensure good drainage around the 
equipment consult a local professional. 

 

Do not leave the jobsite un-attended during installation unless all access 
points to the play area are secure, all bolts and fasteners are tight and all 
ground holes are covered.
