INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNANT LA SÉCURITÉ
REQUIRED SAFETY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Once the unit is completely assembled and before children are allowed to play on it, proper shock-absorbing surfacing material must be installed.
This may
be accomplished by using loose-fill materials at a sufficient depth. The Consumer Product Safety Commission “Handbook for Public Playground Safety” lists the following
materials and required depths that are sufficient for home/residential application. For fall height protection up to 9 ft. (2.742m) [recommended for Swing•N•Slide kits]:
When properly installed, shock absorbing material will completely cover the horizontal baseboards on climbing units. This protective surfacing must extend a
minimum
of 6 ft.
(1.828m) in all directions from the perimeter of the equipment or from the outermost
edges of any component. For example, a slide extending beyond the platform must
have protective surfacing at least 6 ft. (1.828m) out from both sides as well as the
end. For swings, the protective surface must extend
at least 14 ft.
out from
both
the
back and front of the swing when the swing is in its rest position.
IMPORTANT!
This product is intended for single family residential use only and not intended for use in any publi
setting. Placement in any public setting constitutes a misuse of this product.

L’UTILISATION DANS UN ENDROIT PUBLIC CONSTITUE UN USAGE ABUSIF DU PRODUIT.
• Lorsque l’unité est entièrement assemblée, un matériau de protection amortisseur doit être installé sur le sol avant de permettre aux enfants de s’amuser.
Des
matériaux particulaires d’une épaisseur suffisante peuvent être utilisés à cette fin. Le guide américain intitulé « Handbook for Public Playground Safety » rédigé par la Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) des États-Unis recommande une liste de matériaux et spécifie l’épaisseur requise pour un usage résidentiel. Protection contre les chutes d’une
hauteur de 9 pieds (2,742 m) [recommandation pour les unités Swing•N•Slide] :
Pour que l’installation soit adéquate, le matériau amortisseur doit recouvrir entièrement la base horizontale des unités d’escalade. Un matériau de protection doit entourer
l’installation sur une surface
d’au moins
1,828 m (6 pieds) à partir du pourtour de l’unité
ou des composants les plus éloignés. Par exemple, une glissoire qui se prolonge au-delà
de la plate-forme doit être pourvue d’une surface de protection d’au moins 1,828 m (6
pieds) de chaque côté ainsi qu’à l’extrémité. En ce qui concerne les balançoires, la zone
de protection doit couvrir
au moins 14 pi (6 m)
autant devant que derrière la balançoire
lorsque celle-ci est immobile.

INSTRUCCIONES REQUERIDAS PARA LA INSTALACIÓN CON SEGURIDAD
• Una vez que se haya armado la unidad completamente y antes que se permita a los niños que la usen, se debe instalar un material que amortigüe para la
superficie del suelo.
Esto se puede conseguir usando materiales que llenen flojamente a una profundidad suficiente. El “Folleto para la Seguridad Pública en Campos de
Recreo” de la Comisión de Seguridad de Producto al Cliente, permite los siguientes materiales y las profundidades requeridas que sean lo suficiente para una aplicación en
situaciones de residencias. Para protección contra caídas se necesita hasta 9 pies (2,742m) [recomendadas para los conjuntos Swing•N•Slide]:
Cuando se instale apropiadamente, el material que amortigüe completamente cubrirá la base horizontal de las unidades de trepar. Esta superficie protectora debe extenderse
un
mínimo
de 6 pies (1,828m) en todas las direcciones desde el perímetro del equipo,
o de los bordes más salientes de cualquier componente. Por ejemplo, un tobogán que
se extiende más allá de la plataforma debe tener una superficie protectora de por lo
menos 6 pies (1,828m) más allá de ambos lados, al igual que desde el extremo. Para
columpios, la superficie protectora debe extenderse
por lo menos 14 pies
más allá de
ambos,
de la parte de atrás, y la parte frontal del columpio, cuando el columpio esté
en una posición neutra.
¡IMPORTANTE!
Este producto es para ser usado por una sola familia en uso residential y no para usarse en ningún lugar público. El
ubicarlo en cualquier lugar público constituye mal uso de este producto.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD
INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNANT LA SÉCURITÉ
When building this kit, at least two people are required for lifting and holding beams, frames or other heavy assemblies in position before bolting or nailing. Special
precautions must be taken when handling treated wood. Contact your local supplier for specific information.
INSTALLATION:
1.
Read instructions completely prior to beginning assembly.
2.
Do not deviate from these plans or alter design.
3.
Be sure all hardware is tightened securely and flush to the intended member. Any caps provided which go over exposed bolts must be fastened securely.
4.
During assembly be sure to use a hacksaw to cut off all protruding threaded ends of bolts and other fasteners. Remove any sharp edges with a metal file.
5.
Place the equipment on level ground, not less than six feet (1.8 meters) from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, overhanging branches,
laundry lines or electrical wires.
6.
Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed earth or any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to the
equipment user.
7.
Verify that suspended ropes and chains (except those used for swings) are secured at both ends so that they cannot be looped back on themselves.
8.
Do not allow children to be in the area during assembly or use the equipment until it is properly installed.
9.
Save this plan for future reference.
The Sun
: Slides should
not
have a southern exposure unless they are shaded from mid-day and afternoon sun. Unshaded slides facing south can get hot and cause
discomfort to bare skin. Northern exposures or shaded areas are definitely best.
OPERATION:
1.
On-site adult supervision must be provided for children of all ages.
2.
Be sure to teach children the following before allowing them to use the equipment:
A.
Do not walk close to, in front of, behind or between moving items.
B.
Do not twist swing or any other accessory chains or ropes or loop them over the beam as this will reduce the strength of the
chain or rope.
C.
Do not swing empty seats or other accessories.
D.
Sit in the center of the swing seat and other accessories with full weight on seat.
E.
Do not use equipment in a manner other than intended.
F.
Do not get off equipment while it is in motion.
G.
Do not climb on the equipment when it is wet.
H.
Climbing or hanging on the frame of swing sets must not be permitted. Serious injuries can result from falls.
I.
Do not attach extra items to this gym set, such as jump ropes, chain, clothes lines, pet leashes, cable and other items unless those items are Swing•N•Slide
products specifically approved for use with this product. Failure to do so may cause a strangulation hazard.
3.
Only one child per planned occupant seat should be allowed on this set at one time. Individual accessory weight limitations may vary, see packaging for details.
4.
Dress children appropriately for play. Avoid clothing with draw strings and loose fitting clothes which could become entangled or snagged on equipment.
SAFETY
-
Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from flying wood chips when cutting or drilling. Use a dust mask. Blunt nail points to prevent wood from splitting. To
prevent splinters, sand the corners, edges, and all the points of the wood by wrapping a piece of 80 grit sandpaper around a block of wood and sanding.
WARNING:
Lawn swings are designed for use by children over two years of age. Use by children under the age of two can result in entrapment between the seats and
back areas. Never place children in a rearward facing position or with legs between seat and backrest because the child’s body may pass through the opening causing
entrapment of the child’s head.
MAINTENANCE:
1.
Check all nuts and bolts twice monthly during the usage season for tightness and tighten as required. It is particularly important that this procedure be followed at the
beginning of each season.
2.
Remove plastic swing seats and other plastic accessories and take indoors, or do not use when the temperature drops below 0° F.
3.
Oil all metallic moving parts monthly during usage period.
4.
Check all hardware and equipment for sharp edges twice monthly during usage season and replace them as necessary. It is especially important to do this at the
beginning of each new season.
5.
Check swing seats and protective sleeves for cracks. Cracks in the seat or sleeves are signs of deterioration. If these conditions exist, replace swing seat immediately.
Call 1-800-888-1232 for more information about replacement.
6.
Check chains, ropes and cables monthly during the usage season for signs of deterioration, severe rusting or excessive wear (especially near the top swing hanger or
at the seat connection). If these conditions exist replace affected accessory immediately. Call 1-800-888-1232 for more information about replacement.
7.
Use a water seal on your gym set to protect the wood and prevent cracking and warping.
DISPOSAL:
1.
When the activity center is to be taken out of service, remove all play components and disassemble. Dispose in such a way that no unreasonable hazards will exist at
the time the activity center will be disposed of. Dispose of following local disposal
requirements.
PARENTS: Before building a backyard play area please take the time to read all instructions completely and caution your children accordingly.
Observing the following statements and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious injury.
