OBSERVE ALL STATEMENTS AND WARNINGS TO REDUCE
THE LIKELIHOOD OF SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY.
SAVE THIS SHEET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING:
CHOKING HAZARD
Small parts. Sharp points. Adult assembly required.
WARNING:
Only for family domestic outdoor use by children
from ages 2 to 6 years old. Maximum user weight:
60 lbs (27.2 kg) per child.
WARNING:
BURN HAZARD
• Always check the temperature of the product
before letting your children play with it.
• Remember that the product may cause burns if left
in direct sunlight.
• Always be aware of the sun and weather conditions,
and do not assume that the equipment is safe
because the air temperature is not very high.
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.
• DO NOT allow children to wear scarves, mittens with
cords through the sleeves, or clothing such as capes,
ponchos, or items with drawstrings at the neck.
• DO NOT allow children to wear helmets while
playing on equipment.
• DO NOT 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.
WARNING:
FALL HAZARD:
To Avoid Serious Injury.
• Instruct child(ren) on the proper use of the
ladder and the platform for entering and
exiting safely.
• Always supervise child(ren) to ensure they use
product safely.
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: 50 inches (1,27m). Do not install product or surfacing
material over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet or any
other hard surface. 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. Keep 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. DO NOT remove any screws once installed. For disassembly, only
remove parts not secured by screws.
9. DO NOT over-tighten screws or they will not hold parts together
appropriately.
10. Take notice that screws are designed to pierce the plastic and form
their own threads.
11. 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.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Provide adult supervision at all times.
2. Limit: 3 children. Maximum user weight: 60 lbs (27.2 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 attach items to the playground equipment that are not
specifically designed for use with the equipment, examples:
jump rope, clothes lines, pet leashes, cables or chains, etc.
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 slide, 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.
- the condition of the equipment. Look for signs of wear and tear
such as broken or missing components.
2. Take indoors or do not use when the temperature drops below
32ºF (0ºC).
3. Rake surfacing periodically to prevent compaction and maintain
appropriate depths.
4. Owners shall be responsible for maintaining the legibility of the
warning labels and for children removing the warning label from
the product.
5. DO NOT allow children to play on the product until it is
completely installed.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
General Cleaning:
• Use a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water.
DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Disassemble so that no unreasonable hazards exist. Please recycle when
possible. Disposal must be in compliance with all government regulations.
INSPECT THIS PRODUCT BEFORE EACH USE. TIGHTLY
SECURE CONNECTIONS AND REPLACE DAMAGED OR
WORN COMPONENTS. CONTACT THE STEP2 COMPANY

• X3.1 The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
estimates that about 100,000 playground equipment
related injuries resulting from falls to the ground surface
are treated annually in U.S. hospital emergency rooms.
Injuries involving this hazard pattern tend to be among
the most serious of all playground injuries, and have
the potential to be fatal, particularly when the injury is
to the head. The surface under and around playground
equipment can be a major factor in determining the
injury-causing potential of a fall. It is self evident that a
fall onto a shock absorbing surface is less likely to cause a
serious injury than a fall onto a hard surface.
Playground equipment should never be placed on
hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt and while
grass may appear to be acceptable it may quickly turn
to hard packed earth in areas of high traffic. Shredded
bark mulch, wood chips, fine sand or fine gravel are
considered to be acceptable shock absorbing surfaces
when installed and maintained at a sufficient depth
under and around playground equipment.
• X3.2 Table X3.1 lists the maximum height from which a
child would not be expected to sustain a life-threatening
head injury in a fall onto five different loose-fill surfacing
materials if they are installed and maintained at a depth of
9 in. However, it should be recognized that all injuries due
to falls can not be prevented no matter what surfacing
material is used.
• X3.3 It is recommended that a shock absorbing material
should extend a minimum of 6.5 ft. in all directions from
the perimeter of stationary equipment such as climbers
and slides. However, because children may deliberately
jump from a moving swing, the shock absorbing material
should extend in the front and rear of swing a minimum
distance of 2 times the height of the pivot point measured
from a point directly beneath the pivot on the supporting
structure.
• X3.4 This information is intended to assist in comparing
the relative shock-absorbing properties of various
materials. No particular material is recommended over
another. However, each material is only effective when
properly maintained. Materials should be checked
periodically and replenished to maintain correct depth
as determined necessary for your equipment. The choice
of a material depends on the type and height of the
playground equipment, the availablity of the material in
your area, and its cost.
