ARNINGS & NOTICES
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.
Owner must ensure that all players know and follow these rules for safe operation of the system.
To ensure safety, do not attempt to assemble this product without following the instructions carefully. Check entire box and inside all packing
material for parts and/or additional instruction material. Before beginning assembly, read the instructions and identify parts using the hardware
identifi er and parts list in this document. Proper and complete assembly, use and supervision are essential for proper operation and to reduce the
risk of accident or injury. A high probability of serious injury exists if this product is not installed, maintained, and operated properly.
• If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.
• Two capable adults are recommended for this operation.
• Be aware that parts can be damaged by overtightening the screws.
• All who participate in the assembly process should wear safety glasses throughout the assembly.
Most injuries are caused by misuse and/or not following instructions. Use caution when using this product.

**IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION**
PLEASE READ BEFORE BEGINNING ASSEMBLY:
INSTALLATION & GROUND PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Place the equipment on a level, well-drained ground, not less than 6.6 ft (2.0 m) from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical
wires
• Provide enough room so that children can use the equipment safely. For example, for structures
with multiple play activities, a slide should not exit in front of a swing.
• 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.
• Do not install home playground 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 equipment user (see page 7).
• To prevent serious injury, warn children that they must not use the equipment until properly installed.
• 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.
• Choose a level location for the equipment. This can reduce the likelihood of the play set tipping
over and loose-fi ll surfacing materials washing away during heavy rains.
PLAYGROUND AND SURFACE MATERIALS INSTRUCTIONS
• Use containment, such as digging out around the perimeter and/or lining the perimeter with landscape edging.
• Do not install loose fi ll surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.
• Installations of rubber tiles or poured-in-place surfaces (other than loose-fi ll materials) generally
require a professional and are not “do-it yourself” projects.
• Use Playground Surfacing Materials (other than loose-fi ll material) which comply to the safety standard
ASTM F1292 Standard Specifi cation for Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials within the Use Zone of
Playground Equipment.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Observing the following instructions and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury:
• The maximum number of occupants that may safely use the entire play set including all
components is eight with a maximum weight of 900 pounds (408 kg).
• On-site adult supervision should be provided for children of all ages.
• Instruct children not to walk close to, in front of, behind, or between moving items.
• Do not move the equipment while it is in use.
• Instruct children not to twist swing chains or ropes or loop them over the top support bar since this
may reduce the strength of the chain or rope.
• Instruct children to avoid swinging empty seats.
• Teach children to sit in the center of the swings with their full weight on the seats.
• Instruct children not to use the equipment in a manner other than intended.
• Instruct children not to get off the equipment while it is in motion.
• To prevent entanglement and strangulation, dress children appropriately using well-fi tting shoes
and avoiding ponchos, scarves, jackets with neck drawstrings, helmets with straps, and other loosefi tting clothing that is potentially hazardous while using equipment.
• Instruct children not to play when the equipment is wet.
• Instruct children not to attach items to the playground equipment that are not specifi 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.
• Place the equipment no less than 6.6 ft. (2.0 m) from any structure or obstruction such as a fence,
garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical wires.
• Impact surfacing needs to cover the entire recommended play area.

CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET FOR PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS*
Select Protective Surfacing—One of the most important things you can
do to reduce the likelihood of serious head injuries is to install shockabsorbing 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 Specifi cation F1292.
There are different types of surfacing to choose from; whichever product
you select, follow these guidelines:
Loose-Fill Materials—Maintain a minimum depth of 9 inches of loosefi ll
materials such as wood mulch/chips, engineered wood fi 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 fi 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 refi 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.)
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.
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.
Check and maintain the depth of the loose-fi ll surfacing material. To
maintain the right amount of loose-fi 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 fi 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 loosefi 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 specifi 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 F1292 Standard
Specifi cation for Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials within the
Use Zone of Playground Equipment. This report should show the specifi 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.
Placements—Proper placement and maintenance of protective surfacing
is essential. Be sure to:
Extend surfacing at least 6.6 feet (2 m) 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 6.6 feet (2 m) in all
directions.
**The maximum fall height for this product is 108 in (274 cm).
We recommend using 9 in (23 cm) of Double Shredded Bark Mulch.**
