Warnings and Safe Play Instructions

CONTINUOUS ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED. Most serious injuries and deaths on playground equipment have
occurred while children were unsupervised! Our products are designed to meet mandatory and voluntary safety standards.
Complying with all warnings and recommendations in these instructions will reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury to children
using this play system. Go over the warnings and safe play instructions regularly with your children and make certain that they
understand and follow them. Remember on-site adult supervision is required for children of all ages.

WARNING

CHOKING HAZARD/SHARP EDGES & POINTS

Adult assembly required. This product contains small
parts and parts with sharp edges and points. Keep parts
away from children until fully assembled.

STRANGULATION HAZARD

• NEVER allow children to play with ropes,
clotheslines, pet leashes, cables, chains or cord-like
items when using this playhouse or to attach these
items to the playhouse.

• NEVER allow children to wear loose fitting clothing,
ponchos, hoods, scarves, capes, necklaces, items with
draw-strings, cords or ties when using this playhouse.

• NEVER allow children to wear bike or sport helmets
when using this playhouse.

WARNING – Safe Play Instructions

Dress children with well fitting and full foot enclosing

footwear.

Check for splintered, broken or cracked wood; missing,

loose, or sharp edged hardware. Replace, tighten and or
sand smooth as required prior to playing.

Replace defective parts in accordance with manufaturer’s

instructions.

Failure to prohibit these items, even helmets with chin
straps, increases the risk of serious injury and death to
children from entanglement and strangulation.

TIP OVER HAZARD

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

DO NOT allow children to play on the playhouse until
the assembly is complete.

PLACEMENT

Place the toy on a level surface at least 2m from any
structure or obstruction such as fences, garages, house,
overhanging branches, laundry or electical wires.

Do not allow children to wear open toe or heel footwear

like sandals, flip–flops or clogs.

Do not permit climbing on equipment when it is wet.

Do not permit rough play or use of equipment in a manner

for which it was not intended. Standing or climbing on or
jumping from the roof.

Instructions for Proper Maintenance

Your KidKraft Play System is designed and constructed of quality materials with your child’s safety in mind. As with
all outdoor products used by children, it will weather and wear. To maximize the enjoyment, safety and life of your
Playhouse, it is important that you, the owner, properly maintain it.

Check the following at the beginning of the play season:

HARDWARE:

Check metal parts for rust. If found,
sand and repaint using a non-lead paint
complying with 16 CFR 1303.
Inspect and tighten all hardware. On
wood assemblies DO NOT OVER­TIGHTEN as to cause crushing and
splintering of wood.
Check for sharp edges or protruding screw threads, add
washers if required.

Check twice a month during play season:

HARDWARE:

Inspect for tightness. Must be firmly against, but not crushing the wood.

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. This will cause splintering of wood.

If you dispose of your playhouse: Please disassemble and dispose of your unit so that it does not create any unreasonable
hazards at the time it is discarded. Be sure to follow your local waste ordinances.

2

WOOD PARTS:

Check all wood members for deterioration, structural

damage and splintering. Sand down splinters and replace
deteriorated wood members. As with all wood, some
checking and small cracks in grain is normal.

Applying a water repellent or stain (water-based) on a yearly

basis is important maintenance to maintain maximum life
and performance of the product.

Check for sharp edges or protruding

screw threads. Add washers if required.

CAUTION – Protrusion Hazard

Once the assembly is tightened, watch for exposed

Extra washers have been provided for this purpose.

Proper Hardware Assembly
Lag screws require drilling pilot holes to
avoid splitting wood. Only a flat washer
is required. For ease of installation
liquid soap can be used
on all lag-type screws.

For bolts, tap T-Nut into hole with

About Our Wood

KidKraft Premium Play Systems uses only premium playset lumber, ensuring the safest product for your children’s use.

Although we take great care in selecting the best quality lumber available, wood is still a product of nature and susceptible to
weathering which can change the appearance of your set.

What causes weathering? Does it affect the strength of my Play System?

One of the main reasons for weathering is the effects of water (moisture); the moisture content of the wood at the surface is
different than the interior of the wood. As the climate changes, moisture moves in or out of the wood, causing tension which can
result in checking and or warping. You can expect the following due to weathering. These changes will not affect the strength of
the product:

1. Checking is surface cracks in the wood along the grain. A post (4” x 4”) will experience more checking than a board (1” x 4”)
because the surface and interior moisture content will vary more widely than in thinner wood.

2. Warping results from any distortion (twisting, cupping) from the original plane of the board and often happ
wetting and drying of the wood.

3. Fading happens as a natural change in the wood color as it is exposed to sun-light and will turn a grey over time.

How can I reduce the amount of weathering to my Play System?

At the factory we have coated the wood with a water repellent or stain. This coating decreases the amount of water absorption
during rain or snow thus decreasing the tension in the wood. Sunlight will break down the coating, applying a water repellant or
stain on a yearly basis is important mainten

Most weathering is just the normal result of nature and will not affect safe play and enjoyment for your child. However if you are
concerned that a part has experienced a severe weathering problem please call our consumer relations department for further assistance.
