OBSERVE ALL STATEMENTS AND WARNINGS TO REDUCE THE
LIKELIHOOD OF SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY.
SAVE THIS SHEET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
SAFETY INFORMATION:
1. Create an obstacle-free site to reduce injury. Maintain a minimum distance
of 6.5 feet (2 m) from structures or obstructions (examples: a fence, buildings,
garages,houses, low hanging branches, tree stumps/roots, large rocks, bricks,
concrete, laundry lines, or electrical wires.
2. Choose a level location for the equipment to reduce the likelihood of the play set
tipping over and loose fill surfacing materials from washing away during heavy rains.
3. Fall Height: 18 inches. Do not install product or surfacing material over concrete,
asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet or any other hard surface. Playground
equipment for home use SHOULD NOT BE USED indoors without installed
fall protection. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury. Playground
Surfacing Materials guidelines for acceptable fall protection are included In this
instruction sheet (see table X3.1). To maintain the appropriate level of loose fill
material, use containment, such as digging out around the perimeter and/or lining
it with landscaping edging. Installations of rubber tiles or poured-in-place surfaces
(other than loose-fill materials) generally require a professional and are not “do- it
yourself”projects.
4. Locate bare metal platforms and slides (metal, plastic or otherwise) out of direct
sunlight to reduce the likelihood of serious burns. A slide that faces north will
receive the least direct sunlight.
5. Provide enough room so that children can use equipment safely (example: a slide
should not exit in front of a swing).
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Provide adult supervision at all times.
2. Limit: 1 child. Maximum weight per user: 43 lbs. (19,50 kg).
3. Dress children appropriately, including wearing well-fitting shoes that fully protect feet.
4. Instruct children:
-to slide feet first; one child down slide at a time,
-to remove articles, before playing on equipment, that create hazards when they
get tangled and caught. Examples include: ponchos, scarves, and other loose-
fitting clothing, bike or other sports helmets.
-not to walk close to, in front of, behind, or between moving items,
-not to attach items to the playground equipment that are not specifically
designed for use with the equipment, examples:
- jump ropes, clothesline, pet leashes, cables and chain as they may cause a
strangulation
hazard.
5. Never allow children to:
- use the equipment in a manner other than intended,
- climb on equipment when it is snow-covered or wet.
- use this product when temperatures fall below 32ºF (0ºC). Plastic materials
may become brittle and crack.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Inspect the product periodically for loose or damaged components.
At the beginning of each season, re-install any plastic parts, such as swings, rope
ladders, etc., that may have been removed and stored during the winter months.
Check the following items at the beginning of each season at least twice monthly
during the usage:
- all connections and bolts for tightness, Tighten as required.
- all coverings and bolts for sharp edges and replace when required.
- all metallic moving parts. Oil monthly during usage period.
- all protective caps and plugs that cover bolt ends and ends of tubing. Make sure
they are in place and tight.
- the condition of the equipment. Look for signs of wear and tear such as broken
or missing components, bent pipes or tubing and splintering wood surfaces.
Repair as necessary.
- canopy for evidence of deterioration. Replace canopy if it becomes brittle, or
frayed
significantly.

PARTS, SEE CONTACT INFORMATION AT THE TOP OF PAGE 1.
2. Take indoors or do not use when the temperature drops below 32ºF (0ºC).
3. Sand rusted areas on tubular members and repaint using a non-lead-based
paint meeting the requirements of Title 16CFR Part 1303.
