INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GUIDELINESImportant ! Please Read Completely Before Beginning Installation. Accordingto a report published by the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (C.P.S.C.) 72% ofall playground injuries result from accidental falls. With this in mind, this equipment isdesigned to fill the need for safe yet challenging play. In conjunction with design efforts toreduce the possibilities of injuries, this equipment must be installed "Step by Step" per ourinstallation instructions. As a new owner you are responsible for the correct installation,safe use, and maintenance of your equipment.

Installation Guidelines• Identify all parts and thoroughly read the assembly instructions before beginningconstruction.

• Refer to your playground equipment plan and footing diagram to assure the equipmentpurchased will fit into your selected site area. The use and no-encroachment zonesaround the play equipment shall be obstacle-free areas designated for unrestrictedcirculation.

• For rocking/springing equipment intended for sitting, the use zone should extend onall sides a minimum distance of 72 inches (1829 mm). This use zone may be overlapped bythe use zones of similar adjacent play equipment when the seat or designated play surfaceis 30 inches (762 mm) or less from the protective surfacing level in areas overseen by theCanadian Standards Association (C.S.A.). Protective surfacing zones may also overlapthose of stationary playstructures. The distance between the rocking/springing equipmentand equipment with a designated playsurface greater than 30 in. (762 mm) above theprotective surfacing shall be a minimum of 72 in. (1829 mm). See diagram.

• This use zone may be overlapped by the use zone of other rocking/springing intendedfor sitting or stationary equipment when the seat or designated play surface is 30 inches(762 mm) or less from the protective surfacing level in areas overseen by the AmericanSociety for Testing and Materials (A.S.T.M.).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS• Site layout is a critical part of the overall installation. Footings must be measured andmarked accurately according to the footing diagram. A level and clear installation site isideal.

• Good drainage around the structure and its supports is important. Inquire with localcontractors for appropriate recommendations.

• After laying out all footings and before digging holes, be sure to inquire aboutunderground utilities that may exist.

• Do not leave the job site unattended without making sure that all fastening hardwareon all components are tightened according to tightening torque specifications listed onevery installation guide. We also recommend roping off construction area and covering allholes that do not contain a piece of equipment with plywood or other suitable material.

• Excavate holes as shown in the footing detail. If a level and clear site cannot beobtained, adjust the depth of footing to maintain a level footing base. If soil conditions areloose or unstable, a larger diameter footing may be required. Inquire with local contractorsfor appropriate recommendations. Be sure concrete that might have splashed onto the unitis washed off before it dries. Allow concrete to harden 72 hours before allowing yourstructure to be used. Assemble the entire structure before pouring concreteunless specifically instructed to do so in the installation instructions.

• IMPORTANT! Because accidental falls around your playground equipment canoccur, Playworld Systems® recommends that the area under and around the structure becovered with a resilient material such as sand, bark mulch, or wood chips. If loose fillsurfacing materials are used, Playworld Systems® recommends a depth of 12 in. (305 mm).An approved rubber safety matting can also be used. Many protective surfacingmaterials can become compacted due to weather and use, which reducestheir shock absorbency. It is strongly recommended that the surfacing bechecked weekly and material added or replaced as necessary. Hardsurfaces, such as asphalt, concrete and packed earth are not acceptablefor use under playground equipment.

• The entire area, under and around the playground equipment, must be covered withprotective surfacing material. The impact attenuation of the protective surfacing underand around playground equipment should be rated to have a critical height value of atleast the height of the highest accessible part of the equipment. To determine the highestaccessible part of equipment, refer to the most current publication of the C.P.S.C., Handbookfor Public Playground Safety. The critical height for surfacing is to be rated in accordancewith A.S.T.M. standard, designated F1292, A Standard Specification for Impact Attenuationof Surface Systems Under and Around Playground Equipment. C.P.S.C.’s handbook alsoprovides a table of critical heights for selected loose fill materials. Contact the manufacturerof unitary surfacing materials (rubber matting) for the critical height rating for their products.Refer to the most current publication of the C.P.S.C., Handbook for Public PlaygroundSafety for recommendations on the type and depth of the protective surfacing material.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSMaintenance• Inadequate maintenance of equipment has resulted in injuries on the playground.Because the safety of playground equipment and its stability depends on good inspectionand maintenance, a comprehensive maintenance program must be developedfor each playground and strictly followed. All equipment must be inspectedfrequently for any potential hazards. Special attention must to be given to moving partsand other components that can be expected to wear. Inspections must to be carried out ina systematic manner by trained personnel. Any damaged or worn parts, or any otherhazards identified during inspections must be repaired or replaced immediately. Completedocumentation of all maintenance inspections and repairs must be retained.

Supervision Guidelines• Playworld Systems® strongly recommends close supervision of the children as theyplay as well as intensive classroom and home instruction about safe behavior on playgroundequipment.

• Playground supervisors should be aware that not all playground equipment isappropriate for all children who may use the playground. Signs should be posted near theequipment indicating the recommended age of the users. Supervisors should direct childrento equipment appropriate for their age.

• It is important that playground supervisors recognize that preschool-age childrenrequire more attentive supervision on playgrounds than older children.

• Do not permit the use of wet playground equipment. Wet equipment will inhibitnecessary traction and gripping capabilities. Slips or falls could occur.

• Do not permit too many children on the same piece of equipment at the same time. Itis suggested that children take turns.

• Constantly observe play patterns to discover possible hazardous play and suggestchanges in equipment use or play patterns.
