precautions to reduce the likelihood of serious or fatal injury.

1. Children 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, either indoors or outdoors, are free of objects that may cause tipping
over.

4. 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.

5. Lock the teeter-totter with the strap locks when not in use.

6. Make sure bystanders are at least 5 feet away from the equipment while it is in motion. No one
should be allowed to walk close to, in front of, behind, or between moving items.

7. Keeps hands and feet away from the pivot area.

8. Do not get off from seat while it is in motion.

9. Do not stand on the teeter-totter. This could cause damage to the ride and result in injury.

a manner other than intended.

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

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.

CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET FOR
PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estim ates that about 100,000 playground equipment­related injuries resulting from falls to the ground surf ace are treated annually in U.S. hospital emer gency rooms. Inj uries
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 abs orbing 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 suc h as concrete or asphalt and while grass may appear to be acceptable it m ay quickly turn to hard
packed earth in areas of high tr affic. Shredded bark mulc h, wood chips, fine sand or fine gravel are considered to be
acceptable shock absorbing surfac es when installed and maintained at a sufficient depth under and around playground
equipment.

The following table lists the maximum height f r om which a child would not be expected to sustain a life-thr eatening
head injury in a fall onto four different loos e-fill sur facing m aterials if they are installed and m aintained 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.

It is recomm ended that a shock absorbing mater ial should extend a minimum of 6 feet in all directions from the
perimeter of stationar y equipment suc h as climbers and slides. However, because c hildr en may deliberately jump from a
moving swing, the shock abs orbing 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 r elative shock-abs orbing properties of various material. No
particular material is recom mended over another. However, every material is only effective when properly maintained.
Materials should be checked periodic ally and replenished to maintain correct depth as determined necess ary for your
equipment. The choice of a mater ial depends on the type and height of the playground equipment, the availability of the
material in your area, and its cost.

Please note there are 4 holes on the feet of the main frame. The purpose of these holes is to anchor the unit to the
ground in the commercial or park environment. It is not necessary to anchor the unit to the ground if you are only using
the unit for your home or backyard. When anchoring the unit, follow the instructions above to install the shock absorbing
material around the unit to prevent injury. This selling unit does not come with the parts for anchoring.
