WARNING!
Children must not use the equipment until properly installed.
Maximum fall height: 185cm
Surface selection instructions
Loose-Fill Materials should be placed under the dome and 6' out in all directions.
Use a minimum of 6 inches of protective surfacing for play equipment less than 4 feet in
height. If maintained properly, this should be adequate.
Use containment, such as digging out around the perimeter and/or lining the perimeter
with landscape edging. Don't forget to account for water drainage.
Check and maintain the depth of the loose-fill surfacing material. To maintain the right
amount of loose-fill materials, mark the correct level on play equipment support posts.
That way you can easily see when to replenish and/or redistribute the surfacing.
Do not install loose fill surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.
Installation instructions
Place the equipment on level ground, not less than 6ft(1.8m) from any structure or
obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or
electrical wires.
Do not install this equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet, or any
other hard surface. A hall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury or death to the
equipment user.
Make sure that all the bolts are tightened securely, tighten the nuts on bolts flush to the
tube (or member) and the caps which go over the exposed bolts shall be put on snug to
the nut.
To prevent serious injury, children must not use the equipment until properly installed.
