IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDELINES

This product is recommended for use by children ages 3-11. This product is intended for residential use only and not intended for use in any public setting. A safety surface such as mulch or recycled tire should be used under the play set to prevent injury from falls. Also a 6 foot safety zone should be used around the entire play set.

As with any home project, good judgment and respect for power tools will greatly reduce the risk of injury. Gorilla recommends you follow all tool manufacturers’ safety guidelines. Always wear eye protection and safety gloves to prevent injury. In several phases of construction two people may be required for lifting and securing of lumber. While the play set is being constructed, please keep children off the equipment until the project is complete. Bolts and screw heads should be checked regularly for tightness. The ground ladder, rope ladder, slide, swings and other areas where children spend a majority of their playtime should be checked more frequently.

Gorilla shall not be liable for incidental, indirect or consequential damages or injuries that result from building and/or playing on our play sets. Adult supervision is recommended anytime a play set is being used.

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ

underneath the play set

Congratulations! You have just purchase one of the finest residential wooden swing sets available today. As with any wooden product that spends its entire life outside, in varying elements, it is important to know what to expect with your new swing set so that your family can enjoy it for many years.

As your swing set acclimates to its new environment, natural characteristics of the wood can show in the form of checks, or “cracks” in the lumber. In almost all cases this is normal and it will not affect the structural integrity of your play set and is not covered under warranty.

KEEPING YOUR PLAYSET LIKE NEW

MUST DO’s

The following owner responsibilities are crucial to the safety, integrity and aesthetic appeal of your swing set and may affect the warranty if not adhered to.

WITHIN 60 DAYS

Check and tighten Hex Bolts/T-nuts, Carriage Bolts/Lock-nuts, and Lag Screws within the first 60 days and

•

then twice annually – once before each season and then once during the season.

WITHIN 90 DAYS

• Apply a sealant or semi-transparent stain with sealant within the first 90 days of owning the swing set. Our own Stain/sealant is available online here: http://www.gorillaplaysets.com/Playground-Sealant-p/10-0003.htm

Oil based stain or water based stain may be used. Should you choose to use other stain we suggest asking the product covering specialists at any number of specialty paint stores or home improvement centers for a product that would work best for your local environment. ** TIP – while the set is new, take a small board from to the store with you so they can color match the tint of the stain or sealant.

SEASONAL REMINDERS

If your area experiences regular snowfall, remove your fabric tarp/canopy to avoid stretching, sagging or

•

tearing of the material. Store it inside, folded up, and it will be as good as new when winter is over.

If your area experiences extremely cold temperatures, remove swing belts and other pliable features to

•

prolong the lifespan of these play activities.

OTHER TIPS

Spray swing hangers with Pam, Mazola or olive oil to stop squeaking; do not use petroleum based products

•

such as WD-40 or motor oil.

To repel yellow jackets and wasps, use a cotton ball and dab interior wooden corners

•

deck with a liquid dish soap. Avoid using insecticides.

To speed up the slide wipe the center of slide with wax paper every 2 - 3 weeks.

Safety and Maintenance Tips for Your New Play Set:

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.

• This play set is designed for the use of 4 occupants who have a combined weight not exceeding 800 pounds on the elevated oor, 2 occupants who have a combined weight of 275 pounds on the swing area, for a total Unit capacity of 6 occupants who have a combined weight of 1075. (This weight does not include any picnic table area(s).)

• On-site adult supervision is required.

• Teach children not to walk close to, in front of, behind, or between moving swings or other moving playground equipment.

• Teach children to sit in and never stand on swings

• Teach children not to twist the chains and ropes and not to loop them over the swing beam, since this may reduce the strength of the chain or rope.

• Teach children not to jump from swings or other playground equipment in motion.

• Teach children not to push empty seats. The seat may hit them and cause serious injury.

• Teach children to sit in the center of the swings with their full weight on the seats.

• Teach children not to use the equipment in a manner other than intended.

• Teach children to always go down slides feet rst. Never slide headrst.

• Teach children to look before they slide to make sure no one is at the bottom.

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

• The parents should have the children dress appropriately with well-tting shoes. No clogs, ipops, or sandals are allowed. Loose clothing such as scarves, ponchos or capes 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.

• Teach children not to climb when the equipment is wet.

• Teach children to never jump from a fort deck. They should always use the ladder, ramp or slide.

• Teach children to never crawl or walk across the top of monkey bars or swing beam.

• Teach children to never crawl on top of a fort roof or on the outside of a tube slide.

• Verify that any suspended climbing ropes, chains, or cables are secured at both ends and that they cannot be looped back onto itself.

• Teach children not to attach items to the playground equipment that are not specically 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.

• Teach children to never wrap their legs around swing chain.

• Teach children to never slide down the swing chain.

• Teach children to remove their bike or other sports helmet before playing on the playgound equipment.

• Teach children to NEVER look at the sun or other bright light through any accessory such as but not limited to a telescope, periscope or binoculars.

• Never add extra length to chain or rope. The chains or ropes provided are the maximum length designed for the swings.

WARNING: Children must NOT use this play set until it has been completely assembled and inspected by an adult to ensure it has been properly installed and anchored.

Safety and Maintenance Tips for Your New Play Set:

(continued)

Playgrounds should be inspected on a regular basis. If any of the following conditions are noted, they should be removed, corrected or repaired immediately to prevent injuries.

• Hardware that is loose, worn or that has protrusions or projections.

• Exposed equipment footings.

• Scattered debris, litter, rocks, or tree roots.

• Splinters, large cracks and decayed wood components.

• Deterioration and corrosion on structural components, which connect to the ground.

• Swing chains, rings, ropes, etcetera should always be fastened to a rotating swing hanger. NEVER attach a chain, ring,

rope, etcetera to a stationary hanger such as but not limited to an eye bolt. Severe wear could occur leading to an injury.

• Missing or damaged equipment conditions, such as but not limited to handholds, guardrails or swing seats.

At the beginning of each play season:

□ Owners shall be responsible for maintaining the legibility of all warning labels. Replace as required. □ Tighten all hardware. (But not so tight that you crack the wood.) □ Oil all metallic moving parts. □ Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges and corners. Replace if they are loose, cracked or missing. □ Check all moving parts including swing seats, ropes, cables and chains for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace

as needed. Replacement should be made of any swing seat that has developed cracks in the plastic seat. □ Check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a nonlead-based paint meeting the requirements of 16 C.F.R. 1303. These requirements are available at: http://www.cpsc.gov/ □ Check all wood members for deterioration and splinters. Sand down splinters and replace deteriorating wood members. Once or twice a year, depending on your climate conditions, you must apply some type of protection (sealant) to the wood or your play set. Please note this is a requirement of your warranty.

□ Reinstall any plastic parts, such as swing seats or any other items that were removed for the cold season. □ Rake and check depth of loose ll protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate

depth. Replace as necessary. □ Creating and maintaining the play set on a level location is very important. As your children play, your play set 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.

Twice a month during play season:

□ Tighten all hardware. (But not so tight that you crack the wood.) □ Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges and corners. Replace if they are loose, cracked or missing. □ Rake and check depth of loose ll protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate

depth. Replace as necessary.

Once a month during play season:

□ Oil all metallic moving parts. □ Check all moving parts including swing seats, ropes, cables and chains for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace

as needed. Replacement should be made of any swing seat that has developed cracks in the plastic seat.

At the end of each play season or when the temperature drops below 32OF:

□ Remove plastic swing seats and take indoors or do not use. □ Rake and check depth of loose ll protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate

depth. Replace as necessary.

Disposal Instructions:

When the playset is no longer desired or when it reaches the end of its lifetime it should be disassembled and disposed of in such a way that no unreasonable hazard will exist at the time the playset is discarded.

PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS

SECTION 4 OF THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION’S OUTDOOR HOME PLAYGROUND SAFETY HANDBOOK9

Select Protective Surfacing

One of the most important things you can do to reduce the likelihood of serious head injuries is to install shock-absorbing protective surfacing under

and around your play equipment. The protective surfacing should be applied to a depth that is suitable for the equipment height in accordance with

ASTM Specication F 1292. There are different types of surfacing to choose from; whichever product you select, follow these guidelines:

NOTE: Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, or any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to the equipment user. Grass and dirt are not considered protective surfacing because wear and environmental factors can reduce their shock absorbing effectiveness. Carpeting and thin mats are generally not adequate protective surfacing. Ground level equipment – such as a sandbox, activity wall, playhouse or other equipment that has no elevated play surface – does not need any protective surfacing.

Loose-Fill Materials:



Maintain a minimum depth of 9 inches of loose- ll materials such as wood mulch/chips, engineered wood ber (EWF), or shredded/recycled

rubber mulch for equipment up to 8 feet high; and 9 inches of sand or pea gravel for equipment up to 5 feet high. NOTE: An initial ll level of

12 inches will compress to about a 9- inch depth of surfacing over time. The surfacing will also compact, displace, and settle, and should be

periodically relled to maintain at least a 9- inch depth.



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. (At depths less than 6 inches, the protective material is too easily displaced or compacted.)



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. U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington, D.C., 20207 or call the toll-free hotline :1-800-638-2772



Check and maintain the depth of the loose-ll surfacing material. To maintain the right amount of loose-ll 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 ll surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.

Poured-In-Place Surfaces or Pre-Manufactured Rubber Tiles:

You may be interested in using surfacing other than loose-ll materials – like rubber tiles or poured-in-place surfaces.



Installations of these surfaces generally require a professional and are not "do-it-yourself" projects.



Review surface specications before purchasing this type of surfacing. Ask the installer/manufacturer for a report showing that the product has been tested to the following safety standard: ASTM F 1292 Standard Specication for Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials within the Use Zone of Playground Equipment. This report should show the specic height for which the surface is intended to protect against serious head

injury. This height should be equal to or greater than the fall height – vertical distance between a designated play surface (elevated surface for standing, sitting, or climbing) and the protective surfacing below – of your play equipment.

 Check the protective surfacing frequently for wear.

Placement

Proper placement and maintenance of protective surfacing is essential. Be sure to



Extend surfacing at least 6 feet from the equipment in all directions.



For to-fro swings, extend protective surfacing in front of and behind the swing to a distance equal to twice the height of the top bar from which the swing is suspended.



For tire swings, extend surfacing in a circle whose radius is equal to the height of the suspending chain or rope, plus 6 feet in all directions.

Play Set Surfacing Recommendations:

Below are some of the recommendations that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) offers from its Handbook for Public Playground Safety. The guide can be downloaded in full at www.cpsc.gov/PageFiles/122149/325.pdf

1. Protective Surfacing - Since almost 60% of all injuries are caused by falls to the ground, protective surfacing under and around all playground equipment is the most critical safety factor on playgrounds.

Certain manufactured synthetic surfaces also are acceptable; however, test data on shock absorbing performance should be requested from the manufacturer.

Asphalt and concrete are unacceptable. They do not have any shock absorbing properties. Similarly, grass and turf should not be used. Their ability to absorb shock during a fall can be reduced considerably through wear and environmental conditions.

Certain loose-ll surfacing materials are acceptable. Surfacing materials are acceptable, such as the types and depths shown in the table.

Fall Heights and Materials

Type Of Material 6 in. depth 9 in. depth 12 in. depth

Double-Shredded bark mulch 6’ Fall Height 10’ Fall Height 11’ Fall Height

Wood Chips 6’ Fall Height 7’ Fall Height 12’ Fall Height

Fine Sand 5’ Fall Height 5’ Fall Height 9’ Fall Height

Shredded Tires* 10-12’ Fall Height N/A N/A

Fine Gravel 6’ Fall Height 7’ Fall Height 10’ Fall Height

*This data is from tests conducted by independent testing laboratories on a 6-inch depth of uncompressed shredded tire samples produced by four manufacturers. The tests reported critical heights, which varied from 10 feet to greater than 12 feet. It is recommended that persons seeking to install shredded tires as a protective surface request test data from the supplier showing the critical height of the material when it was tested in accordance with ASTM F1292.

It should be recognized that all injuries due to falls cannot be prevented no matter what surfacing material is used.

Page 15

2. Fall Zones - A fall zone, covered with a protective surfacing material, is essential

under and around equipment where a child might fall. This area should be free of other equipment and obstacles onto which a child might fall. Stationary climbing equipment and slides should have a fall zone extending a Minimum of 6’ in all directions from the perimeter of the equipment.

Swings should have a fall zone extending a minimum of 6’ from the outer edge of the support structure on each side. The fall zone in front and back of the swing should extend out a minimum distance of twice the height of the swing as measured from the ground to the top of the swing support structure.

LEVELING YOUR FORT DURING ASSEMBLY

• Complete the steps which will be the basic frame of the fort. {i.e. four corner posts with base (sand box boards) and deck supports}

• Position in the most level area chosen for the play set, keeping in mind the location and size of the swing beam, ladder, slides, etc. that extend off the fort.

• Once the frame is in the nal position, check for vertical and horizontal levelness to determine which side(s) will need to be dug into the ground to level the play set.

• With a shovel, score the ground around the outside edges of the sandbox boards on the ‘high’ side of the fort. This is the area that will be dug in. Make sure to score deep enough; the scored lines will be your digging template.

• Push the frame off and away from the scored area, far enough to dig and remove dirt to reach the appropriate depth.

• Dig a channel along the scored line(s) for the base of the fort (corner post and sandbox boards) to rest into. Dig the channel(s) to the same level depth. The bottom of the channel(s) should be level to each other so your frame doesn’t teeter or rock because the channel(s) are uneven.

• Once you have removed enough grass and dirt, slide/push the frame into the channel(s). Place a level on the vertical and horizontal boards of the frame to determine if enough soil, or too much, was removed.

• Repeat this process until the basic frame is plumb and level and in its nal position before completing the rest of the assembly.

• Measure to make sure fort is square.

Important: if you require a channel depth of more than 6”, then we recommend you have your play set area professionally graded before completing assembly.

Example Play area:

Side View of Playset Frame

(Grade is the

Slanted Line)

= Area to be scored and channeled for levelness

The diagonal measurements should be the same from corner post to corner post. If not, adjust corner posts so that the distance is equal.

Page 16

General Info to Review Before Installation

• Depending on your experience, assembly of the playset can take as little as 6 hours up to 24 hours, depending on size, after inventory of parts; therefore, we recommend

you set aside a full two days for assembly.

• Identify all of the parts for your play set. 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.

• After everything is laid out, check carefully to ensure all parts are present. Make sure there are no broken boards.

• 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.

• 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.

• After familiarizing yourself with all of the components, read all instructions thoroughly. Reading instructions after you have studied the parts will help you understand the installation process, and help to eliminate unnecessary mistakes.

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

• Never tighten hardware completely at rst. It helps to have some adjustment for bolt alignment while you are attaching parts together. After everything is square, tighten each joint.

• After the main unit is assembled it is critical that the oor is level and square. If the main frame is not level, the walls and oor will be out of square.

• 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.

• Place the set on level ground, not less than 6 feet from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical

wires.

Page 17

This page is a list of denitions and explanations used throughout our

instructions to aid you in the assembly of your play set.

Offset Holes- Throughout the installation procedures we will refer to parts with offset

holes. This refers to the orientation of the holes on the board. An offset hole is one that is closer to one side than it is the other or in other words, it is not centered on the board. In the procedures you will be instructed to attach the boards with the holes offset up or with the holes offset down. This refers to which side of the board the hole/holes should be closer to. Offset holes up= hole/holes will be closer to the top of the board. Offset holes down= hole/holes will be closer to the bottom of the board. Note: some parts do not have offset holes, but instead the holes are on center. Therefore there will not be any reference on how to offset these parts.

EXAMPLE OF OFFSET HOLES UP

EXAMPLE OF OFFSET HOLES DOWN

Counter-sunk holes - Many of the parts that will be used have counter-sunk holes. A

counter-sunk hole is one that surrounds one side of a through hole, but does not extend through the wood it’s self. When using a counter-sunk hole the bolt will be inserted through the through hole and either the head of the bolt and washer or nut and washer will occupy the counter sunk hole.

Counter-Sunk Hole

Through Hole

Lag Screws- Lag screws are used in the construction of our play sets to enhance the structural integrity of the unit. There will not be predrilled holes in the post for lag screw installation. Lag screws are self-tapping, though if you are using a manual socket wrench it may be advantageous to pre-drill a hole rst. Instructions for this are provided on a separate page in the front of the manual. Be sure to tighten the lags completely when driving them in by hand. Power tools such as a heavy duty impact driver or large power drill should have enough torque to drive in the lag screws, but make sure not to over tighten as this can cause the threads to “strip out” in the post.

Common Installation Practice Installing T-nuts

When installing T-nuts into the wood, use a smooth faced hammer to set the face of the T-nut ush into the wood.

Corner Post

T-nut

Insert the barrel of the T-nut into the predrilled hole. Using a smooth faced hammer, drive the T-nut until the face of the T-nut is ush to the wood.

This picture shows the T-nut inserted and installed ush to the wood.

This picture shows an end view of the T-nut installed ush to the wood.

WARNING: DO NOT EMBED THE TOP

HOW A T-NUT WORKS

THE FIRST STEP IN OUR ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS IS TO INSERT T-NUTS INTO THE CORNER POSTS. A T-NUT IS A FASTENER WHICH IS THREADED ON THE INSIDE AND IT FUNCTIONS JUST LIKE A STANDARD HEX NUT. YOU INSERT THE T-NUTS INTO THE PREDRILLED HOLES IN THE CORNER POSTS.

THE T-NUT HAS A BARREL SHAPED END WHICH GOES INTO THE HOLE IN THE CORNER POST. THE T-NUT ALSO HAS AN FLANGE SHAPED END WITH TEETH. THE TEETH PENETRATE INTO THE CORNER POST WOOD TO PREVENT THE T-NUT FROM SPINNING WHEN YOU TIGHTEN THE HEX HEAD BOLT.

SHOWN BELOW YOU WILL SEE THE T-NUT IS HAMMERED INTO THE CORNER POST ON THE BACK SIDE. THE BOARD IS BEING ATTACHED ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE CORNER POST.

BOARD IDENTIFICATION

1. On the end of each board there should be a small white tag that is stapled or stuck into place. Remove the staples and/or tag after the board is installed.

2. This white identifcation tag displays the thickness, width, length and an abbreviated description of the part.

Example: a tag reads "2-4-3600-BPB"

The 2 is the thickness of the board. "Nominal Lumber" at a home center will measure 1-• 1/2" for the thickness. We "remill" that lumber to 1-3/8" thick.

The 4 is the width of the board. "Nominal Lumber" at a home center will measure 3-• 1/2" for the width. We "remill" that lumber to 3-3/8" wide. Note: sometimes the width will be smaller than 3-3/8" because: A) We need the width of the part to fit into a certain area of the play set. B) We need the designation to be simple.

The 3600 is the length of the board. It means the board is 36 inches long. If the code • were 3625 then the board is 36-1/4" in length.

The "BPB" abbreviation stands for "Bottom Panel Board". The wood part bill of materials • in the instructions has a description which will match the abbreviation closely.

In the event that there is no tag on a wood part measure the part then:• A)Use the measurements and compare them to the wood list at the front of the instructions to identify it. B)Look at the holes on the wood part and compare them to the pictures in the wood list. C)Look to see if the holes are centered or if they are offset up or offset down. This should help you identify any parts that have missing tags. In the event that you cannot identify a board please email us for assistance.

PRE-DRILL LAG SCREW DIRECTIONS

Pre-drilling holes for lag screws will make it easier to drive the screws in by hand.

"Jobber" length drill bits are available in sizes that are longer than standard drill bits and those are ideal for the job. When using the drill bit you will have to "spot" drill the post and then remove the board you are attaching to finish drilling the hole.

Pay attention to the DIAMETER of the lag screw you are installing. Your playset may come with two different diameter lag screws. Each diameter will require a different size drill bit. When installing lag screws DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

LAG SCREW DIAMETER DRILL BIT SIZE

" 3

Corner Post

5/16" DIAMETER 9/64"

3/8" DIAMETER 11/64"

Example: 3/8" diameter x 3-1/2" lag screw

This would be like the 2 x 4 board installation shown below. Place the board into position. Spot Drill through the holes in the 2 x 4 board into the corner posts with an 11/64" drill bit. Remove the 2 x 4 board. Continue to drill the holes to a total depth of 2-5/16" as shown at the right. Install the 2 x 4 board.

Example 5/16" diameter x 3-1/2" lag screw

This would be like the 2 x 4 board installation shown below. Place the board into position. Spot Drill through the holes in the 2 x 4 board into the corner posts with an 9/64" drill bit. Remove the 2 x 4 board. Continue to drill the holes to a total depth of 2-5/16" as shown at the right. Install the 2 x 4 board.
