The instructions and owner’s manual for your new Playcenter should be read in its entirety before assembly, to minimize problems and safety issues. We recommend reading the owner’s manual thoroughly after you have identified all of the parts for your Playcenter as discussed in the Helpful Installations Hints section below.

Positioning Your Play center

1. The Playcenter is designed to be installed on a level surface by an Adult with an Adult helper. Try to place in a flat area of your yard to minimize ground preparation.

2. Choose a level location for the equipment. This can reduce the likelihood of the play set tipping over and loose-fill surfacing material washing away during heavy rains.

3. Place the equipment not less than 6 ft from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical wires.

4. Provide enough room so that the children can use the equipment safely. For example, for structures with multiple play activities, a slide should not exit in front of a swing.

5. It is a good idea to place your Playcenter in an area that is convenient for adults to watch children

6. Create a site free of obstacles that could cause injuries – such as low overhanging tree branches, overhead wires, tree stumps and/or roots, large rocks, bricks and concrete. We have additional suggestions in the Suggested Playground Surfacing Section.

7. Do not build your playset on top of surfacing material.

8. Locate bare metal platforms and slides out of direct sunlight to reduce the likelihood of serious burns. A slide that faces north will receive the least direct sunlight.

9. Separate active and quiet activities from each other. For example, locate sandboxes away

from swings or use a guardrail or barrier to separate the sandbox from the movement of the swings.

Helpful Installation Hints

1. Depending on your experience, assembly of this Play set should take

approximately 6 to 12 hours after inventory of parts. Therefore, we recommend you set aside a full day for assembly.

2. Identify all of the parts for your Playcenter. Empty each box and lay out boards

so you can see each part. Your instruction book will have detailed drawings that will make it easy for you to recognize individual parts. Keep all hardware and metal parts separate from wooden pieces.

3. After everything is laid out, check carefully to ensure all parts are present. Make

sure there are no broken boards.

4. Find an area to sort your hardware. It is best to open the hardware on a solid

surface so that you do not lose any pieces in the grass. This will save time and familiarize you with all the different pieces in the hardware bag.

5. Important note: Wood has some natural defects such as knots, surface cracks,

etc… We reject parts that are structurally defective. We use a high quality lumber in our structures; however, you should inspect each part for splinters or rough spots and sand them smooth to prevent injury.

6. After steps 1 thru 4 have been completed, read all the way through the

instructions completely. Reading instructions after you have studied the parts will help you understand more clearly the installation process, and help to eliminate unnecessary mistakes.

7. Pay close attention to the diameter and length of each bolt and screw.

8. Swing hangers should be buried past the threads, so that the loop is against the

swing beam. Creative Cedar Designs is not responsible for incorrect installations of swing hangers. Failure to properly install swing hangers may cause severe injury.

9. Never tighten hardware completely at first. It helps to have some adjustment for

bolt alignment while you are attaching parts together. After everything is square, tighten each joint.

10. After the main unit is assembled it is critical that the floor is level and square. If

the main frame is not level, the walls and floor will be out of square.

11. After you complete installation, make sure every bolt, screw, and nut is tight, and

every board is secure. Wood will expand and contract with the seasons. Check all bolt connections and swing hangers every two weeks.

12. Place the set on level ground, not less than 6ft from any structure or obstruction

such as a fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical wires.

READ! VERY IMPORTANT!

Suggested Playground Surfacing

Playground equipment should never be placed on hard surfaces such as concrete



or asphalt.

 Do not install loose fill surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.  Shredded bark mulch, wood chips, fine sand and fine gravel, are added as shock

absorbing materials after assembly. If used properly these materials can absorb some of the impact of a child’s fall.

 All surface material should extend a minimum of 6 feet in all directions around

the play area.

 Do not apply playground surfacing until after the unit is completely constructed.

Playset should not Use containment, such as digging out around the perimeter and/or lining the



perimeter with landscape edging.

 Installation of rubber tiles or poured-in-place surfaces (other than loose-fill

materials) generally require a professional and are not “do-it-yourself” projects.

 Shall use Playground Surfacing Materials (other than loose-fill material) which

comply to the safety standard ASTM F1292 Standard Specification of Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials within the Use Zone of Playground Equipment.

Operating Instructions:

NOTE: Your children’s safety is our #1 concern. Observing the following statements and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury. Please review these safety rules regularly with your children.

1. This Playcenter is designed for the use of 6 occupants,

weight not exceeding

combined

who have a combined

(this weight is not including the sand box area)

2. On-site adult supervision is required.

3. Instruct children not to walk close to, in front of, behind, or between moving

swings or other moving playground equipment.

4. Instruct children to sit in and never stand on swings

5. Instruct children not to twist the chains and ropes and not to loop them over the

top support bar, since this may reduce the strength of the chain or rope.

6. Instruct children not to jump from swings or other playground equipment in

motion.

7. Instruct children to not push empty seats. The seat may hit them and cause

serious injury.

8. Instruct and teach children to sit in the center of the swings with their full weight

on the seats.

9. Instruct children not to use the equipment in a manner other than intended.

10. Instruct children to always go down slides feet first. Never slide headfirst.

11. Instruct children to look before they slide to make sure no one is at the bottom.

12. Instruct children to never run up a slide, as this increases their chances of falling.

13. The parents should have the children dress appropriately with well-fitting shoes.

Loose clothing such as scarves and ponchos should not be worn. Always take off, tie up or tuck in cords and drawstrings on children’s clothing. These things can get caught on playground equipment and strangle a child.

14. Instruct children not to climb when the equipment is wet.

15. Instruct children to never jump from a fort deck. They should always use the

ladder, ramp or slide.

16. Instruct children to never crawl on top of a fort roof.

17. Verify that any suspended climbing ropes, chain, or cable are secured at both ends

and that they cannot be looped back on it.

18. Instruct children not to attach items to the playground equipment that are not

specifically designed for use with the equipment, such as, but not limited to, jump ropes, clothesline, pet leashes, cables, and chain as they may cause a strangulation hazard.

19. Instruct children to never wrap their legs around swing chain.

20. Instruct children to never slide down the swing chain.

Maintenance Instructions:

1. Check all nuts and bolts twice monthly during the usage season and tighten as required. (But

not so tight that you crack the wood) We recommend you check the swing beam and hardware every two weeks due to wood expansion and contraction. It is particularly important that this procedure be followed at the beginning of each season.

2. Remove plastic swing seats and take indoors or do not use when the temperature drops below

3. Oil all metallic moving parts monthly during the usage period.

4. Check all coverings for bolts and sharp edges twice monthly during usage season to be certain

they are in place. Replace when necessary. It is especially important to do this at the beginning of each new season.

5. Check swing seats, ropes, cables and chains monthly during usage season for evidence of

deterioration. Replacement should be made of any swing seat that has developed cracks in the plastic seats or has exposed metal in the edges of the swing seat. If there are already exposed metal inserts on the edge of the seat, immediately remove the seats and chains to prevent serious injury. Ropes, cables and chains should be removed and replaced if excessive wear is found. Contact Creative Cedar Designs for replacement parts.

6. For rusted areas on metallic members such as monkey bars, hand supports, brackets, etc.,

sand and repaint, using a non lead-based paint meeting the requirements of Title 16

1303.

7. Inspect wood parts monthly. The grain of the wood sometimes will lift in the dry season

causing splinters to appear. Light sanding may be necessary to maintain a safe playing environment. If you are treating your Playcenter with stain regularly, it will help prevent severe checking/splitting and other weather damage.

8. We have applied a waterborne transparent stain to your unit. This is done for color only.

Once or twice a year, depending on your climate conditions, you must apply some type of protection (sealant) to the wood of your unit. Prior to the application of sealant, lightly sand any “rough” spots on your set. Please note this is a requirement of your warranty.

9. Creating and maintaining the Playcenter on a level location is very important. As your

children play, your Playcenter will slowly dig its way into the soil, and it is very important that it settles evenly. Make sure the play set is level and true beginning of each play season.

once each year or at the

10. Rake the surface periodically to prevent compaction and maintain appropriate depths.
