Choosing a location for your play system
When selecting your play site, always keep the child's safety in mind. Here are some recommendations that should help you achieve a safe play area.
1. The play system should be located on solid level ground free of objects that could cause injury such as, but not limited to, tree stumps, roots, and large rocks. Stationary components such as ladders and slides must be no less than SIX FEET (1.8 meters) from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, tree or overhanging branches, electrical wires or clotheslines. Any swinging equipment must be a minimum distance of TWICE the height of the swing beam away from any structures or obstructions as specified above. We also recommend that you do not install your play system near a lake, river, swimming pool or other water hazards.
2. If anchoring your play system, all underground utilities must be located in play zone before starting assembly of play system.
3. Try to locate slide out of direct sunlight to reduce the likelihood of serious burns. A slide that faces north will receive the least direct sunlight.
4. It is recommended not to place a set on sandy soil or loose fill, as it may require additional anchoring in that situation.
5. Do not install your play system 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 play system user.

Choosing a surfacing material
The consumer shall provide playground surfacing materials under and around residential play equipment that conforms to the
recommendations of the Consumer Product Safety Commission's Outdoor Home Playground Safety Handbook publications #324. A copy
of the section relating to surfacing materials is included in the installation instructions. Free copies of this handbook are available on line at
www.cpsc.gov or by contacting the CPSC Publications Office in Washington D.C. 20207.
The URL is http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/324.pdf and the file size is 456.5KB
Playground equipment should never be placed on hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt. Do not use loose fill surfacing ontop of hard
surfaces such as concrete or asphalt. 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 U.S. Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that
about 100,000 playground equipment-related injuries resulting from falls to the ground surface are treated annually in U.S. hospital's
emergency rooms. Injuries involving this hazard pattern tend to be the most serious of all playground injuries, and have a 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.
The following information is intended to assist in comparing the relative shock-absorbing properties of various materials. No particular
material is recommended over another. However, each 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 your playground equipment, the availability of the material in your area, and its cost.
Table 3.1 lists the maximum height from which a child would not be expected to sustain a life-threatening 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.

6.
All
Lag Bolts must have pre-drilled holes 2" deep (as shown in Detail A). Use a 1/8" drill bit for all 1/4" and 5/16" Lag Bolts and use a 1/4" drill bit for all 3/8" Lag Bolts. Lag Bolts can be difficult to drill into knot holes. Pre-drilling pilot holes will help to prevent the Lag Bolts from breaking. Refer to "Commonly Asked Questions" on page 7 for more information about Lag Bolts.
7.
All
#14 Phillips Pan Head Tap Screws must have pre-drilled holes 1/2" deep. Use a 1/8" drill bit.
8.
Use
a clamp to secure Facias flush to the Uprights and use holes in facia as a guide for placing Lag
Bolt Pilot Holes (as shown in Detail B).
9.
Verify
Facias are flush with Uprights.
10.
Check
assembly periodically to ensure the set is level and all facias are square to the uprights.
11. If a gap occurs between boards when inserting Screws or Lag Bolts, back out hardware and apply pressure to the top board while reinserting hardware in the same hole.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question: How do I know when Lag Bolts and other Fasteners are tightened properly?
Answer: Lag Bolts and other Fasteners are tight when the head of the Lag Bolt and Washer are firmly compressed against the wood. If splintering occurs, that is an indication you are over tightening the Lag Bolts and other Fasteners. (Splintering is when the wood fibers fracture out from under the washers).
Question: What should I do if a Lag Bolt or other Fastener lines up with a knot, or if the Lag Bolt breaks?
Answer: There is extra Hardware provided with the set for this reason. Re-Drill a new hole with a 1/8" Drill Bit in a new direction to miss the obstruction.
Question: What if my Play System is leaning and/or rocks?
Answer: This is caused by unleveled ground under the Base and Support Wings of the Play System. It may be necessary to remove or add some soil beneath the Play System to make it level. Ground Stakes, when installed, will also provide stability.
Question: What if my Play System has cracks on the wood or seems to be developing cracks?
Answer: Seasonal checks, surface cracks, and knot holes are natural characteristics of all wooden play equipment. A check is a separation of the wood fibers running with the grain. This is caused by varying temperature and moisture conditions. By coating your Play System annually with a sealant or preservative, you can help protect your Play System from developing (not stopping) seasonal checks. Please remember to follow all installation instructions, including installing the play set on solid level ground.
Question: What is the sticky substance that appears on the wood?
Answer: The sticky substance that may appear on the wood is called pitch. It is common for the lumber to have occasional pitch seepage which does not affect the structural integrity of the part. Pitch provides the natural rot resistant characteristics of the lumber. If play surfaces or play items become overly sticky with pitch use rubbing alcohol to safely remove.
Question: What accessories may be added or what modifications can be made to my Rainbow Playgrounds America set?
Answer: Rainbow Playgrounds America, Inc. play sets are complete kits and are not modular. Play sets with unauthorized accessories or modifications will not be covered under warranty. Non-residential use of the play set voids warranty.
Question: Is my child old enough to use all play items on my set?
Answer: All play items on Rainbow Playgrounds America, Inc. sets are designed for children ages 3 to 11, but it is the end users responsibility to determine suitability of use by their children for each play item.
