OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS AND WARNINGS TO REDUCE THE
LIKELIHOOD OF SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY.
SAVE THIS SHEET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING: Only for family domestic outdoor use by children from ages 3 to 8
years old. Maximum user weight: 75 lbs (34 kg) per child
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Sharp points. Adult assembly required.
WARNING: STRANGULATION HAZARD- Serious injury or death can occur.
Do not:
- attach jump ropes, clothes lines, pet leashes or other loose hanging items not
specifically designed for use with this equipment.
- allow children to wear scarves, mittens with cords through the sleeves, or clothing
such as capes, ponchos, or items with drawstrings at the neck.
- allow children to wear helmets while playing on equipment.
- allow children to wear items around their necks such as necklaces, canteens, purses
and binoculars.
WARNING: SERIOUS HEAD INJURY OR DEATH CAN OCCUR.
Falls to a hard surface can result in serious injury or death.
Do not install playground equipment over hard surfaces such as concrete asphalt,
packed earth, grass, carpet or any other hard surface. Adult supervision required.
Keep canopy away from fire.
INSTALLATION:
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 tip
ping over and loose fill surfacing materials from washing away during heavy rains.
3. Fall Height: 70 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 guide
lines 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. Instal
lations 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 sun light 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: for struc
tures with multiple activities, a slide should not exit in front of a swing).
6. Separate active and quiet activities from each other (examples: locate sandboxes
away from swings or use a guardrail barrier to separate the sandbox from the move
ment of the swings).

7. Check to be sure all connections are tight. DO NOT allow children to play on the
product until it is fully assembled.
8. This product must be used only with its anchor stakes in place. Install the stake
anchors at a 45º angle to the ground to help prevent the unit from lifting from a wind
gust. Drive the stakes level with the ground or below ground level so that they will
not present a hazard for children who run or play around the unit. For sandy soil or
loose soil conditions, all anchoring devices must be placed below the level of the
playing surface to prevent tripping or injury resulting from a fall.
9. To minimize risks posed by drill shavings, screws are designed to pierce the plastic
and form their own threads. Use caution not to over-tighten screws or they will not
hold parts together appropriately.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. An adult should supervise play on this product for children of all ages.
2. Limit: 4. Maximum total weight of 300 lbs ( 136 kg.) . Maximum weight per Swing: 75 lbs. ( 34 kg).
Maximum weight-Glider (limit: 2 children): 100 lbs. (45,35 kg).
3. Dress children appropriately, including wearing well-fitting shoes that fully protect feet.
4. Instruct children:
-to sit in the center of the swings with their full weight on the seats,
-to avoid swinging empty seats,
-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 twist swing chains or ropes or loop them over the top support bar since this
may reduce the strength of the chain or rope,
-not to get off equipment while it is in motion,
-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.
6. Check:
- suspended climbing ropes, chain, or cable. Make sure they;
a) are secured at both ends, and

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 re quired.
- all coverings and bolts for sharp edges and replace when required.
- all metallic moving parts. Oil monthly during usage period.
