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 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 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 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 structures 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 movement 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. Provide adualt supervision at all times.
2. Limit: 4 children. Maximum user weight: 75 lbs (34 kg). Maximum
weight per Swing: 75 lbs. (34 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
b) that they cannot be looped back on itself.
