Safety First
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.
Upon final assembly, bolt ends shall not protrude beyond the nuts more than the diameter of the bolt when the nuts are
tightened to a torque between 20 & 25 lbf.in. (2.3 & 2.8 N.m). 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.
To prevent serious injury, children must not be allowed in the area during assembly and they must not be allowed to 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

strangulation hazard.
3.
Only one child per planned occupant seat should be allowed on this set at one time. Individual accessory weight
