Safety Checklist for Swing-N-Slide Accessories

R

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

O

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.)
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?
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 result in serious injury to the equipment user.)
Verified that suspended climbing ropes, chain,or cable are secured at both ends?
Consulted in assembly instructions of your particular model for minimum use zones?
Followed all anchoring and shock absorbing surfacing requirements later in this guide as they apply?
Made sure not to allow children to use equipment until it is properly installed?

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 swing empty seats or other accessories.
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 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.
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 clothing with draw strings and loose fitting clothes which
could become entangled or snagged on equipment.
Determined that suspended climbing ropes, chain, or cable cannot be looped back upon itself.
Read and understood the following warning regarding the use of two and four passenger lawn swings?

Warning: Lawn Swings are designed for use by children over two years of age. Use by children under the age of two can result

in entrapment between the seats and back areas. Never place children in a rearward facing position or with legs between the

seat and backrest because the child’s body may pass through the opening causing entrapment of the child’s head.

Safety Maintenance –

Check all nuts and bolts twice monthly during the usage season for tightness and tighten as required? (It is

ticularly important that this procedure be followed at the beginning of each season.)

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, use 2" x 4" x 18" (45mm x 95mm x 457mm) pressure-treated 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) 16D (3-1/2") galvanized nails per stake into each 4" x 4" (95mm x 95mm) post.

•

If the unit has a climbing rope,anchor the rope end.

• 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. 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
front of the swing when the swing is in its rest position.

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

Este producto ha sido ideado para su uso en una residencia u hogar de una sola familia y no para usarse en zonas públicas.

Según establece el ASTM, todos los equipos deben anclarse al terreno y si la unidad tiene además una cuerda de escalar, el final de la cuerda deberá anclarse al suelo. Si las
condiciones del terreno permiten que las estacas se salgan con facilidad, será entonces necesario cementarlas a la tierra.

• Para anclar la unidad a la tierra, use estacas tratadas bajo presión de 2 x 4 x 18 pulgadas (45 mm x 95 mm x 457 mm). Martillee las estacas en la tierra a una profundidad de al
menos 12 pulgadas (305 mm) en todas las esquinas internas de los postes (incluyendo las patas de la estructura A y los postes de la unidad de escalada). Sujételos con cuatro (4)
clavos galvanizados de 16D (3-1/2 pulgadas) por estaca en cada poste de 4 x 4 pulgadas (95 mm x 95 mm).

• Si la unidad tiene una cuerda de escalar, sujete el final de la cuerda.

• Una vez que la unidad esté completamente montada y antes de que se permita a los niños jugar en ella, deberá instalarse el material adecuado para la absorción de golpes. Esto

se consigue usando materiales de relleno a una profundidad suficiente. En el folleto titulado “Guía para la Seguridad en las zonas de recreo publicas” publicada por la Comisión
de Seguridad para los Productos de Consumo (CPSC por sus siglas en inglés) se citan los siguientes materiales y los requisitos necesarios para su uso en residencias y hogares
privados. Para protegerse de caídas de hasta 9 pies de altura (2,742 m), recomendado para los equipos Swing•N•Slide:

stas medidas se han sacado de la Publicación de la CPSC. Swing•N•Slide no ha realizado estudios independientes para determinar estos espesores recomendados.

E

Una vez instalado adecuadamente el material de absorción de golpes, este deberá cubrir completamente todas las bases horizontales de las unidades de escalada. Esta superficie
protectora deberá extenderse por al menos 6 pies (1,828 m) en todas las direcciones, desde el perímetro del equipo o desde los bordes externos de cualquiera de los componentes.
Por ejemplo, un tobogán que se extiende por fuera de la platafor
Para los columpios, la superficie protegida deberá extenderse al menos 14 pies (6 m) a partir de tanto la parte trasera como delantera del columpio cuando este esté en posición
inmóvil.

oduit est conçu uniquement pour un usage résidentiel. Il ne saurait aucunement convenir aux installations publiques.

Les normes établies par l’organisme américain ASTM spécifient que toutes les unités de jeu doivent être ancrées solidement dans le sol et que si l’unité comprend une corde
d’escalade, l’extrémité de celle-ci doit également être ancrée dans le sol. Si les piquets risquent d’être facilement délogés en raison du type de sol, il est nécessaire de les cimenter
dans le sol.

Pour ancrer l’unité dans le sol, utiliser des piquets en bois traités sous pression de 2 x 4 x 18 po

• Si l’unité comprend une corde d’escalade, ancrer l’extrémité de la corde dans le sol.

• Lorsque l’unité est entièrement assemblée, un matériau de protection amortisseur doit être installé sur le sol avant de permettre aux enfants de s’amuser. Des matériaux
particulaires d’une épaisseur suffisante peuvent être utilisés à cette fin. Le guide américain intitulé «Handbook for Public Playground Safety» rédigé par la Consumer Product
