1.0. Care and maintenance

Improper maintenance or lack of care can lead to your product deteriorating earlier than expected and causing injury.

Please follow these instructions to ensure that your product lasts for as long as possible.

At the beginning of each play session:

• Tighten all hardware.

• Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners.

○ Replace if they are loose, cracked, or missing.

• Check all moving parts – including swing seats, ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust, or other deterioration.

○ Replace as needed.

• Check metal parts for rust.

○ If found, sand and repaint using a non lead-based paint meeting the requirements of 16 CFR 1303.

• Reinstall any plastic parts, such as swing seats or any other items, that were removed.

• Rake and check depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate
depth.

○ Replace as necessary.

Twice a month during play session:

• Tighten all hardware.

• Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners.

○ Replace if they are loose, cracked, or missing.

• Rake and check depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate depth.

○ Replace as necessary.

Once a month during play session:

• Check all moving parts including swing seats, ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust, or other deterioration.

○ Replace as needed.

At the end of each play session:

• Remove plastic and textile swings and store in a cool, dry place.

• Rake and check depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate
depth.

○ Replace as necessary.

Owners shall be responsible for maintaining the legibility of the warning labels.

Disassemble and dispose of the equipment when it is no longer safe to use. Ensure that no unreasonable hazards exist at
the time the equipment is discarded.

Save this instruction and information sheet for future reference, in the event that the manufacturer has to be contacted.

2.0. Safety Information

Maximum Swing fall height: 2,226 mm (88 in.)

United States Consumer Product Safety Commission’s
(USCPSC) Outdoor Home Playground Safety Handbook. See
below:

2.1. Select Protective Surfacing

One of the most important things you can do to reduce the
likelihood of serious head injuries is to install shock-absorbing
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
Specification F1292. There are different types of surfacing
to choose from; whichever product you select, follow these
guidelines:

2.1.1. Maintain a minimum depth of 9 in. (229 mm) of loose-fill

materials such as wood mulch/chips, engineered wood fiber
(EWF), or shredded/recycled rubber mulch for equipment up
to 96 in. (2438 mm) high; and 9 in. (229 mm) of sand or pea
gravel for equipment up to 60 in. (1524 mm) high.

NOTE : An initial fill level of 12 in. (305 mm) will compress
to about a 9 in. (229 mm) depth of surfacing over time. The
surfacing will also compact, displace, and settle, and should
be periodically refilled to maintain at least a 9 in. (229 mm)
depth.

2.1.2. Use a minimum of 6 in. (152 mm) of protective surfacing

for play equipment less than 48 in. (1219 mm) in height. If
maintained properly, this should be adequate. (At depths
less than 6 in. (152 mm), 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.

2.2. Poured-In-Place Surfaces or Pre­Manufactured Rubber Tiles

You may be interested in using surfacing other than loose­fill materials, like rubber tiles or poured-in-place surfaces.

2.2.1. Installations of these surfaces generally require a

professional and are not “do-it-yourself” projects.

2.2.2. Review surface specifications 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
Specification for Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials
within the Use Zone of Playground Equipment. This report
should show the specific 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.

2.2.3. Check the protective surfacing frequently for wear.

2.3. Placement

Proper placement and maintenance of protective
surfacing is essential. Be sure to:

2.3.1. Extend surfacing at least 72 in. (1829 mm) from the

equipment in all directions.

2.3.2. For to-and-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.

2.3.3. For 360º swings, extend surfacing in a circle whose

radius is equal to the height of the suspending chain or
rope, plus 6 ft in all directions.

2.1.3. 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.

2.1.3.1. Check and maintain the depth of the loose-fill

surfacing material. To maintain the right amount of loose­fill materials, mark the correct level on play equipment
support posts. That way you can easily see when to
replenish and/or redistribute the surfacing.

2.1.3.2. Do not install loose fill surfacing over hard

surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.
