Dear Customer:
Thank you for purchasing your equipment from Component Playgrounds!!! We are proud of our commercial grade products made for kids of all ages & sizes, and we are confident that you will enjoy your equipment for many years.
Because you have purchased a top of the line commercial grade product, you will need to be aware of some specific shipping requirements that may be different from shipments you have received in the past through other delivery companies (such as UPS), and you should follow the guidelines below carefully.
1. In most cases your product will arrive via common carrier truck line directly to your home with curbside delivery only. This means the driver will facilitate the offloading of the shipment at the curb, or most reasonable place near the curb and your house. You are then responsible to have someone physically capable to help unload the product upon delivery
and note the condition of the product as per below instructions.
2. Your product may arrive on a pallet and upon delivery—locate the packing list (usually attached to the hardware box & orange & black in color) and verify that each piece listed is with the shipment. *** Please disregard any delivery driver stated “time crunches” or “needs to
leave quickly” and in-speck the product to your satisfaction = this is your product so make sure it is all there in good condition or noted properly before the driver leaves.***
3. If there are any parts/pieces missing, note this directly on the delivery receipt BEFORE you sign and receive your copy of the receipt, with wording such as “missing xyz part” etc. Note: some shipments will have more than one pallet so check both before noting missing.
4. Similar to #3 above, also note the condition of the pieces and if any parts have been damaged in shipping note this directly on the delivery receipt BEFORE you sign and get your copy from the driver (in particular inspect slides for damage).
5. If your shipment appears to have damage and /or missing pieces, a freight claim must be fi led with the freight company w/in two business days. Component Playgrounds will assist you with this process if it is necessary. Contact the shipping manager toll free @ 877-530-0222 for claims assistance.
6. Ask your driver to sign or initial the freight slip acknowledging any damage or discrepancies.
7. Get a copy of the signed delivery receipt from your delivery driver BEFORE he leaves.
8. If you are concerned or don’t know what you should do with a certain situation
regarding the shipment, please call the shipping manager toll free @ 877-530-0222 before the driver leaves.
All shortages and damaged items are the sole responsibility of the carrier. You are responsible to notify Component Playgrounds of any shortages or damage relating to your shipment w/in 2 business days of receipt of your equipment. After this time, any claim for shortage or loss cannot be honored.
Component Playgrounds cannot be responsible for replacement of any parts, missing or damaged, that have not been properly noted on the delivery receipt. Component Playgrounds cannot be responsible for damaged or missing pieces due to the fault of, or loss by the freight company.
Thanks again & remember to tell your friends about your product from Component Playgrounds!

Component Playgrounds is concerned about the safety of your vision. It is important that you choose to protect your vision by wearing proper safety glasses during each and every phase of this construction process.
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING
The CH45 can be installed as a one day project. The normal time required to install the CH45 is about 6 – 7 hours for a two to four man crew. This time requirement will vary dependent upon the composition of the soil and the speed of the installers. As we have talked to past customers who have installed this product, we have found that most people prefer to break up the installation project into a two or three day process. As a result of these conversations, these instructions have been rewritten into a format that we hope will be more helpful to the casual installer. If you plan to install this playground in one day, disregard the phases and completely assemble the CH45. Mix and pour the concrete as the last step. The benefit to installing and setting this product in phases is: The first phase will provide rigid support for attaching the Platform, Climbers, and Slides of this Playground Structure. Having the floor joists and ladder pre-set will stabilize the system and make it easier to be working up on the joists to attach the lumber, barriers etc. without risk of knocking the platform out of level or sinking the Clubhouse Legs into soft soil as a result of body weight and movement.
*Before digging, please obey local laws by notifying your local underground utilities marking organization*

5.b. Using two strong adults lift the ladder and the A Frame end and allow the ladder to fall into its hole. You can allow the structure to stand but it will not be level at this time.
Situate the ladder and “A” frame legs as desired in the space. Be certain that the top rail has not slid away from its correct position. If it has moved, hold onto the ladder and adjust its position on the top rail by pulling or pushing as necessary. When you are content with the position of the top rail within the top sleeve, secure the set screws in the top sleeve.

Pre-Assembly: Assembling the Club House Floor Joists
2.a. Locate the Floor Joist End with the four holes in it as shown below and determine which holes you will be using for your particular swing set configuration. This is the end that will bolt to the vertical ladder.
Determine which holes you will be using by identifying the configuration below that most closely resembles the configuration you wish to achieve.
2.b. Assemble the Deck Floor Joist structure as shown below using (8) set screws. Make sure that the set screw holes are facing inward as shown.
Page 18
A- Secure the first two boards into place at each end of the platform structure using the 13/64” drill bit to pre drill the holes through the plastic and into the floor joist. Secure the boards into position using the #14 x 2 ½ pan Phillips SMS. The leading edge of the board should be flush with the edge of the square tubing. Now that these two boards are secure lay each of the remaining boards up and onto the floor structure and space them
out evenly and to your satisfaction. They will be approximately ½” apart from each other, as shown in the
diagram below.
Installing the plastic Lumber
Tools needed:
Electric drill, 13/64” drill bit, 18 or 20 volt impact driver (preferred tool) or a cordless or electric drill can be used to drive the screws.

(See suggestion below.)
Page 21
4.d. Attach the Platform Support Structure to the vertical ladder using the 5” carriage bolts pushed through the ladder and through the support structure as shown, attaching platform to 8’
vertical ladder. You may need to adjust the depth of the individual holes to make the platform structure and the ladder level up to each other and to make the holes line up.
1. Insert 5” carriage bolts
2. On the back side, place a
3/8” flat washer, followed by a 3/8” lock washer, followed by a 3/8” hex nut.
3. Tighten
Page 22
4.g. Level the Club House platform and the swing structure.
If you are assembling this structure in one day, disregard this step. When you are satisfied that the structure is level, mix and pour the concrete according to the package directions. You will use approximately five to seven 80# bags in the ladder hole, one to one and a half bags in each Club House leg hole. It is best to allow the concrete to cure at least overnight before proceeding with the installation. The next phase will require placing heavy parts, body weight and movement onto the Club House platform. It is important that you look at the new concrete and make your best determination as to whether or not it is safe to continue with the next phase. Concrete will cure faster in warm conditions and slower in cold conditions. The package directions on the concrete you buy will indicate approximate curing times. If you are in doubt, it is better to wait longer allowing the concrete more time to cure. The amount of concrete to be used in each hole may vary. For example: If you are installing your play
structure into a grassy area, you may want to leave the concrete about three to four inches low in the hole. This will allow you to replace the sod and have enough depth of soil that the grass will grow the same as before the playground was installed. As a result of this, you will use a lesser amount of concrete than someone who chooses to fill the concrete to the top of the hole. The concrete should only be filled to the top of the hole if you are planning to install 6 – 12 inches of soft fall ground cover. The concrete footings should never be exposed as this presents a potential risk of injury to those who use this play equipment.

Boards are approximately ½”
apart from each other.
5.a. With the first two boards secured into place, lay out the remaining boards onto the support structure. Evenly space the boards as shown in the diagram shown below. Beginning at one end, it works best to secure each board in turn using one screw at each end of the board to secure it to the support structure, repeating this process until all of the boards are attached to the support structure.

Maintenance of your playground
We hope that you and your family will enjoy many of hours of great family fun while using your Component Playgrounds Products. We appreciate your business. Our goal is to provide safe, durable and fun products using the best materials available. Your product should be mostly maintenance free. However, you should consider the following suggestions with regard to the up keep of your new swing set.
1. Chains and Connectors: The chains are coated with the highest quality bright zinc coating and the highest quality polymer coatings available. However, over time the zinc coating may become discolored or eventually have surface rust appear. The polymer coating may also become discolored with time and may eventually crack. This depends mostly upon environmental conditions and normally will not affect the durability and safety of the product. However, these items should be inspected regularly for excessive wear and should be replaced as necessary.
2. Swing Hangers: These items are coated with a high quality galvanizing. However, swing hangers may become discolored or may eventually rust. Should this happen, a touch up using a cold galvanizing compound followed by a coat of silver aluminum spray paint will make them look new again. These items can be purchased in aerosol cans (“spray paint”) at most hardware stores and at Component Playgrounds. The brass bushings inside of the swing hanger are impregnated with lubricant and will not generally require any further lubrication. However, these should be periodically inspected for wear and replaced as necessary. Note: Twisting the chains while swinging will put extra wear on the swing hanger parts. If your children enjoy this practice, please inspect the swing hangers more frequently.
3. Tire Swing Knuckles (for sets with a tire swing): The tire swing knuckle arrives at Component Playgrounds pre-lubricated from the manufacturer. However, it is good practice to inspect the knuckle and be sure that there is adequate lubrication before it is used the first time. After that, the tire knuckles should be lubricated at least twice annually to prevent excessive wear and the eventual failure of the tire swing knuckle.
4. Welds: The heat from the welding process will damage the galvanizing that is on the pipe when it arrives to us from the manufacturer. This damage to the galvanizing is restricted to the actual weld. When your equipment is built, Component Playgrounds will repair this damage using a cold galvanizing compound spray along with a top coat of silver aluminum. This is a time tested and durable process. However, when you are inspecting your playground equipment, if you notice that some surface rust has appeared on the welds, simply apply a fresh coat of the cold galvanizing compound and the silver aluminum top coat to keep your structure looking new. (These spray products
Page 34
can be purchased in aerosol cans (“spray paint”) at most hardware stores and at Component Playgrounds.)
5. Plastic Lumber Platforms: If you have purchased a structure which includes a platform, the plastic lumber does not need to be finished or stained. It is 100% maintenance free. However, you may need to occasionally hose it down to remove dirt and other debris that may collect after many hours of use by happy children.
6. Vinyl Canopies: If you have purchased a structure which includes a vinyl canopy, this product should be inspected occasionally for wear and will need to be replaced as necessary. Depending upon your environmental conditions, the normal life expectancy of the vinyl canopy is 3 – 5 years.
7. Swing Seats: These should be inspected at least twice annually and should be replaced as necessary.
8. Slides: Slides should never be lifted at the bottom. Lifting the slide at the bottom will almost always cause the slide to crack at the top where it has been attached to the platform or bracket. Cracks and wear such as is caused by this practice are easily identifiable and will not be covered under the product warranty.
Slides should be inspected at least annually to ensure that the sliding surface is in good condition. Also inspect the side rails to be sure that the plastic has not been cut or gouged in any manner which would present the risk of injury while sliding.
9. Fasteners: All fasteners should be periodically inspected to make certain that they are tight and secure. Re-secure as necessary.
Page 35
To Help Prevent Injuries from Falls & Other Hazards
1. Never attach, or allow children to attach the following items to your swing set: Ropes, jump ropes, clotheslines, pet leashes or any similar type of item to your swing set. Any item such as these may present a strangulation hazard.
2. Periodically inspect all nuts, bolts, set screws, clevis, and carabineer or “S” hooks. Make certain that these are functionally safe and secure. If you have any doubt as to the safety and security of any connector or fastener, replace it.
2a. You should periodically check the brass bushings in the swing hangers. Look for excessive wear in the bushing and replace as necessary.
2b. If your playground has a tire swing: The tire swing knuckle should be lubricated twice annually to prevent wear.
3. Never allow children to wear bicycle helmets when using playground equipment.
4. Remove drawstrings from hoodie’s and jackets. Remove attached mittens and gloves. These can become entangled with the equipment and present the risk of strangulation or other hazards.
5. Playground surfaces can become hot in the sun. Children should be required to wear shoes and socks when using this or any playground equipment.
6. Check for and remove sharp points or edges in the playground equipment.
7. Remove tripping hazards from the playground area. Items such as exposed concrete footings, tree stumps, rocks or any item that may be present in your space that a child could trip over while playing should be removed.
8. Regularly check the play equipment and the surfacing surrounding it to be certain that both are in good condition.
9. Parental Supervision is recommended. The best ingredient for a safe playground is good parental supervision while the kids are using the equipment.
10. Remember to play safely, take turns, share with each other and have fun!
