Safety Checklist for Swing-N-Slide Play Sets and Accessories

Observing the following statements and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury

Installation Safety –Have You:

Consulted the assembly instructions supplied with your particular model?

Noted this accessory is to be used only on Swing•N•Slide approved designs? (Do not alter its design or add/remove components, this accessory is intended

for wooden playsets only, do not install on metal frame playsets).

Made sure all hardware is tightened securely? (Supplied bolt covers must also be fastened securely.)

Using a hacksaw, cut off all protruding threaded ends of bolts and other fasteners and remove any sharp edges with

a metal file as needed, and coated fastener ends with lead free paint?

Placed the equipment on level ground, not less than six feet (1.8 meters) from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, overhanging

branches, laundry lines, or electrical wires?

Made sure home playground equipment is not installed over concrete, asphalt, packed earth or any other hard surface? (A fall onto a hard surface can re-

sult in serious injury to the equipment user.)

Verified that suspended climbing ropes, chain,or cable are securely anchored at both ends and cannot be looped back unpon itself?

Consulted in assembly instructions of your particular model for minimum use zones?

Used a water sealant on your play set to protect the wood and prevent cracking and warping? (Apply water sealant directly after assembly is complete. If

you live in a coastal area, it is advisable to apply a clear coat finish to all metal parts to discourage rust).

Followed all anchoring and shock absorbing surfacing requirements on the back of this sheet as they apply?

Made sure not to allow children to use equipment until it is properly installed?

Made sure to adjust all swings so there is a minimum 8'' clearance between the swing and the ground surface?

If project requires more than one day to complete, made certain to anchor the tower as soon as it is constructed?

Do not leave the tower unanchored overnight.

Operating Safety –Have You:

Determined that on-site adult supervision is provided for children of all ages?

Warned children the following before allowing them to use the equipment?

Not to walk close to, in front of, behind or between moving items.

Not to twist swing or any other accessory chains or ropes or loop them over the top support bar since this will reduce the strength of chain or rope.

Not to stand on swing seats.

Not to swing empty seats or other accessories.

Not to slide down swing chains.

Be sure to sit in the center of the swing seat and other accessories with full weight on the seat.

Not to attach items to the playground equipment that are not specifically designed for use with the equipment such as but not limited to, jump

ropes, clotheslines, pet leashes,cables and chain. They may cause a strangulation hazard.

Not to climb or walk on the top of swing beams, railings or roof.

Not to use equipment in a manner other than intended.

Not to get off equipment while it is in motion.

Not to climb on the equipment when it is wet.

Be sure to go down slides feet first.

Determined that only one child per planned occupant seat should be allowed on this set at one time.

Determined children must be dressed appropriately for play. Avoid hooded jackets, bicycle or other sports helmets, clothing with draw strings and loose

fitting clothes which could become entangled or snagged on equipment.

Determined that suspended climbing ropes, chain, or cable are securely anchored at both ends and cannot be looped back upon itself.

Made certain the slide is placed so that it is not in direct sunlight.

Safety Maintenance –Follow these preventive maintenance instructions at the intervals required:

Use of weed trimmers too close to board surfaces will cause damage to the wood and compromise protection against rot and insect infestation.

To prevent the deterioration of materials, remove plastic swing seats and other plastic accessories when outdoors temp dips down to or below 32° F and

take indoors. Reinstall these plastic elements at the beginning of each play season.

At the beginning of each play season check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a non lead-based paint meeting the

requirements of 16 CFR 1303 or SOR/2005-109.

At the beginning of each play season and once a month during each play season, check all moving parts for wear, rust or other

deterioration. Replace as needed. If any of these conditions exist, call 1-800-888-1232 to order replacement accessories.

At the beginning of each play season and once a month during each play season lubricate metallic moving parts.

At the beginning of each play season and twice a month during each play season, check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners.

Replace if they are loose, cracked, or missing.

At the beginning of each play season and twice a month during each play season, rake and check depth of loose fill protective

surfacing material to prevent compaction and maintain appropriate depth. Replace as necessary.

At the beginning of each play season and twice a month during each play season tighten all hardware.

At the beginning of each play season and twice a month during each play season, check all wood members for deterioration and

splinters. Sand down splinters and replace deteriorating wood members.

Disposal Instructions

When the equipment is taken out of service, it must be disassembled and disposed of in such a way that no unreasonable hazards will exist at the time the set is dis-

carded.

This product is intended for single family home/residential use only and not intended for use in any public setting.

According to ASTM requirements, all kits must be anchored to the ground and, if the unit has a climbing rope, the rope end must be anchored to the ground. If soil conditions permit stakes to be pulled out easily, cementing into ground is necessary.

• To anchor the unit to the ground, Follow the instructions included in this plan for applying Anchor-It devices to your unit, or use 2" x 4" x 18" (45mm x 95mm x 457mm) pressuretreated stakes. Pound stakes into ground at least 12" (305mm) at all inside corners of the posts (including A-frame legs and climbing unit posts). Attach with four (4) 2-1/2’’ galvanized screws per stake into each tower and/or A-frame upright. NOTE: Leave the soil around anchors as intact as possible. Do not excavate more soil than is necessary to place anchors.

• If the unit has a climbing rope, securely anchor the rope at both ends.

• Once the unit is completely assembled and before children are allowed to play on it, proper shock-absorbing surfacing material must be installed. This may be accomplished by

using loose-fill materials at a sufficient depth. The Consumer Product Safety Commission “Handbook for Public Playground Safety” lists the following materials and required depths that are sufficient for home/residential application. Supplemental information may be found in ASTM F1292. For fall height protection up to 9 ft. (2.742m) [recommended for Swing•N•Slide kits]:

Double Shredded Bark Mulch 9" (229mm)

These depths were derived from the CPSC Handbook. Swing•N•Slide has not done independent tests to determine these required depths.

When properly installed, shock absorbing material will completely cover the horizontal baseboards on climbing units. This protective surfacing must extend a minimum of 6 ft. (1.828m) in all directions from the perimeter of the equipment or from the outermost edges of any component. For example, a slide extending beyond the platform must have protective surfacing at least 6 ft. (1.828mm) out from both sides as well as the end. For swings, the protective surface must extend at least 14 ft. (6m) the swing when the swing is in its rest position.

Placement in any public setting constitutes a misuse of this product.

Introduction to the Bracket system

1. ALWAYS Use 1-1/4’’ or 2’’ lag screws on all

brackets.

2. Brackets ‘’clip’’ to each other. NEVER position in a

non-interlocking position.

NOTE: PLACE SCREWS IN BRACKETS ONLY WHERE

INSTRUCTED. DO NOT FILL EVERY HOLE IN

BRACKET. THIS WILL LEAD TO HARDWARE SHORTAGES.
