IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

This play ground equipment is built for optimum safety. However, certain precautions apply whenever you
operate a piece of play ground equipment. Be sure to read the entire manual before you assemble or
operate your equipment. In particular, observing the following safety precautions and warnings to reduce
the likelihood of serious or fatal injury.

1. Children of all ages must be supervised at all times and never left unattended with the unit.

2. Do not install the equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet or any other hard
surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to the user.

3. Make sure the surfaces are free of objects that may cause tipping over.

4. This Space Dome is for outdoor use only.

5. Place the equipment on level ground, not less than 6 ft (1.8 m) from any structure or obstruction such
as fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical wires.

6. Do not use the Space Dome when it is wet.

7. Children should not wear ponchos, scarfs, and other loose-fitting clothing. Attire should include well­fitting shoes.

8. This Space Dome is intended for use by children from 3- to 10- years of age.

9. This Space Dome is designed for HOME USE ONLY.

10. This Space Dome is not designed for handicapped children.

11. Maximum weight for a single user is 200 lbs.

12. Maximum of 5 users are allowed using the Space Dome at the same time.

13. Impact-absorbing material must be placed inside and around the Space Dome. Please refer to the
PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS in page 4.

14. Maximum fall height: 50 inches.

15. To prevent serious injury, children must NOT use the equipment until properly installed.

16. To prevent serious injury, parents must make warnings and instructions to children not to use this
equipment in a manner other than intended.

17. To prevent serious injury, parents must make warnings and instructions to children not to attach items
to the equipment that are not specifically designed for use with the equipment.

18. Separate Space Dome away from other moving playground equipment such as Swing.

19. Rake surfacing periodically to prevent compaction and maintain appropriate depth.

20. Use containment, such as digging out around the perimeter and/or lining the perimeter with landscape
edging.

21. Do not install loose fill surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.

22. Installation of rubber tiles or poured-in place surfaces / other than loose-fill material generally require a
professional and are not “do-it-yourself” project.

23. Shall use playground surfacing materials / other than loose fill material which comply to the safety
standard ASTM F1292 standard specification for Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials within the
use zone of playground equipment.

Care and Maintenance

1. Periodically inspect all parts. Check all nuts and bolts twice monthly during the usage season for
tightness and tighten as required. It is particularly important that this procedure be followed at the
beginning of each season.

2. Replace any worn and damaged part immediately. Check all coverings for nuts 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.

3. Cover the equipment with tarp when left outdoor.

4. Use mild household spray cleaners and/or a damp rag to wipe clean. Do not use harsh cleaning
chemicals.

5. Sand rusted areas on tubular members and repaint using a non-lead based paint meeting the
requirements of Title 16 CFR Part 1303.

6. Disposal Instructions – The equipment can be safely disassembled and disposed without

unreasonable hazards. Call your local recycle agency regarding details of recycling.

7. Assembled Dimension: 91” x 91” x 46”

CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET FOR
PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that about 100,000 playground equipment­related injuries resulting from falls to the ground surface are treated annually in U.S. hospital emergency rooms.
Injuries involving this hazard pattern tend to be among the most serious of all playground injuries, and have the
potential to be fatal, particularly when the injury is to the head. The surface under and around playground equipment
can be a major factor in determining the injury-causing potential of a fall. It is self evident that a fall onto a shock
absorbing surface is less likely to cause a serious injury than a fall onto a hard surface. Playground equipment should
never be placed on hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt and while grass may appear to be acceptable it may
quickly turn to hard packed earth in areas of high traffic. Shredded bark mulch, wood chips, fine sand or fine gravel are
considered to be acceptable shock absorbing surfaces when installed and maintained at a sufficient depth under and
around playground equipment.

The following table lists the maximum height from which a child would not be expected to sustain a life­threatening head injury in a fall onto four different loose-fill surfacing materials if they are installed and maintained at
depths of 6, 9, and 12 inches. However, it should be recognized that all injuries due to falls cannot be prevented no
matter what surfacing material is used.

FALL HEIGHT IN FEET FROM WHICH A LIFE THREATENING HEAD INJURY

WOULD NOT BE EXPECTED

TYPE OF MATERIAL 6-INCH DEPTH 9-INCH DEPTH 12-INCH DEPTH

Double Shredded Bark

Wood Chips 6 7 12

Fine Sand 5 5 9

Fine Gravel 6 7 10

It is recommended that a shock absorbing material should extend a minimum of 6 feet in all directions from the
perimeter of stationary equipment such as climbers and slides. However, because children may deliberately jump from
a moving swing, the shock absorbing material should extend in the front and rear of a swing a minimum distance of 2
times the height of the pivot point measured from a point directly beneath the pivot on the supporting structure.

This information is intended to assist in comparing the relative shock-absorbing properties of various material.
No particular material is recommended over another. However, every material is only effective when properly
maintained. Materials should be checked periodically and replenished to maintain correct depth as determined
necessary for your equipment. The choice of a material depends on the type and height of the playground equipment,
the availability of the material in your area, and its cost.

"Handbook for Public Playground Safety:” Copies of these reports can be obtained by sending a postcard to the: Office of Public
Affairs, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington, D.C., 20207 or call the toll-free hot line: 1-800-638-2772.
