DO NOT install your play set over hard surface, e.g. asphalt, concrete, packed
earth, tile or brick floor. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury or
death to the user. The following is a list of recommended ground covers from the
Consumer Product Safety Commission:
SUGGESTED MATERIAL UNCOMPRESSED DEPTH
Double Shredded Bark Mulch 9”
Uniform Wood Chips 12”
Fine Gravel 12”
Fine Sand 12”
The Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Outdoor Home Playground Safety
Handbook recommends to install and maintain the playground equipment over at
least 9 inches of wood chips, mulch or shredded rubber (for equipment up to 8 feet
high) or sand or pea gravel (for equipment no more than 5 feet high) as shock
absorbing material. Dirt and grass, which are the most prevalent surfaces under
home playground equipment, do not adequately protect children from serious head
injuries. Install protective surfacing at least six feet in all directions from play
equipment. For swings, the surface should extend, in back and front, twice the height
of the suspending bar. You should consult a local contractor about ways to secure
the product in your location. Do not install your play set over hard surface, e.g.
asphalt, concrete, packed earth, tile or brick floor. Please refer to the CONSUMER
PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION’S OUTDOOR HOME PLAYGROUND SAFETY
HANDBOOK for detailed guidelines to prevent injuries from falls and other hazards
on public and home playgrounds.
Important Warnings and instructions
WARNINGS ON ANCHORING
This product must be anchored into the ground to prevent movement and to
make the swing set more stable during use.
Some consumers want an anchoring system that allows the product to be moved
to different locations. Other consumers want to keep their swing set in a
permanent location.
It is highly recommended that you seek the opinion from a local licensed
contractor on the best way to secure the swing set in your location. The best way
to anchor a product is to create a concrete footing and use that as a base for an
anchor. Whatever method you prefer for your location, an anchoring system for
this product should be used at all times.

WEATHER CONDITIONS
DO NOT use this equipment if the swing seat, slide or any parts are wet. Use the
play set only when the parts are clean and dry. If the equipment is wet, the user
could slip and suffer injuries.
Please be aware of weather conditions when using the equipment. If it is too
windy, users could lose control and suffer injuries. The playground equipment must
be properly anchored, stored away or restricted from use during inclement weather
such as heavy winds or severe weather storms. You should consult a local
contractor about ways to anchor the product in your location
PLAY SUPERVISION
DO NOT allow more than one child to play on the individual swing or slide
component at any one time.
DO NOT allow children to stand on the slide, swing seats, flying saucer, or glide
ride. The glide ride is made for only two users at a time. The saucer is made for
one or two users at a time.
DO NOT allow children to walk too close to moving parts. ALWAYS keep a safe
distance to avoid being struck by other children while playing on swings, slides,
flying saucer, and glide ride etc.
DO NOT allow children to twist the swing chains or loop them over the top support
bar as this may reduce the strength of the chain.
DO NOT swing empty seats as this may cause injuries.
ALWAYS guide children to sit in the center of swinging parts, with their full weight
placed in the seat center and holding on to the swing chains.
DO NOT allow children to jump off the equipment while it is in motion. ALWAYS
come to a full stop before dismounting.
ALWAYS dress children appropriately for proper play, e.g. wear well-fitted rubber
sole shoes, and remove loose or sharp items such as jewelry, hair accessories,
scarves which may become entangled in the equipment or cause injuries.
ALWAYS make sure children remove their bike or other sports helmets before
playing on the playground.
DO NOT allow children to slide down the slide head first.
DO NOT allow children to climb onto swing or jump to/from different play areas of
the equipment.
ALWAYS return safely to the ground before approaching another play area.
DO NOT allow children to climb on structural parts (e.g. legs, top bar). These are
structural components and are not designed for play.
ALWAYS check the slide or other parts exposed to the body for extreme heat from
the sun before allowing children to use the equipment.

INSPECTION PRIOR TO EACH USE OR DAILY INSPECTION
DO NOT use the equipment if any bolts or nuts are missing or loose. ALWAYS
check to ensure the equipment and all parts are well secured and stable before
each use.
ALWAYS clear the play area of any rocks, sharp objects, or any materials that
could be potentially hazardous to users.
DO NOT attach items to the equipment that are not specifically designed for use
with the equipment, including, but not limited to, jump ropes, clothesline, pet
leashes, cables and chains as they may cause choke hazards.
The steel and plastic parts used in your product are subject to normal wear.
Gradual deterioration of the material will occur, the speed of which will depend on
the level of exposure to UV rays, airborne pollution, outdoor weather conditions
such as rain and wind and the amount of use. You must inspect the equipment
prior to every use. This includes, but is not limited to inspecting the set for cracks,
excess wear, missing parts, loose connections, and for overall integrity. When the
set shows any signs of weakness, you must stop using the play set immediately,
properly store the set or restrict access by users until the condition is resolved.
Verify that the chains are secured at both ends and tightened, so that there is no
loose chain hanging that can result in choking hazard.
DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS
Please use care when disassembling the equipment, when it is no longer in
operational condition. Wear heavy duty working gloves to avoid injuries.
Fully disassemble the entire swing and slide sets before disposal. Do not leave
partially disassembled parts in areas accessible by children.
Should you wish to recycle the steel tubing, please take the frame to your local
recycling center.
All plastic parts can be recycled, take it to your local recycling center. Do not let
children play with any disassembled parts meant for disposal, such as chains, slide,
tubing, bolts, nuts, screws, etc.
All rusted parts, bolts must be properly disposed of in trash bin. Do not reuse.
Owners shall be responsible for maintaining the legibility of the warning labels.

Important Consumer Information Sheet
The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates there are more than 200,000 playground
related injuries involving children each year. Injuries involving this hazard pattern tend to be among
the most serious of all playground injuries and have the 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. Playground equipment
should never be placed on hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt and 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 surface when
installed and maintained at a sufficient depth under and around playground equipment. Table below
lists the maximum height from which a child would not be expected to sustaina life-threatening head
injury in a fall onto four different loose-fill surfacing materials if they are installed and maintained at
depths of 6” (15.3 CM), 9” (22.9 CM), and 12” (30.5CM).
FALL HEIGHT IN FEET FROM WHICH A LIFE THREATENING HEAD INJURY WOULD NOT BE EXPECTED
TYPE OF MATERIAL 6" (15.3 CM) DEPTH 9" (22.9 CM) DEPTH 12" (30.5 CM) DEPTH
Double Shredded Bark Mulch 6" (15.3 CM) 10" (25.4 CM) 11" (27.9 CM)
Wood Chips 6" (15.3 CM) 7" (17.8 CM) 12" (30.5 CM)
Fine Sand 5" (12.7 CM) 5" (12.7 CM) 9" (22.9 CM)
Fine Gravel 6" (15.3 CM) 7" (17.8 CM) 10" (25.4 CM)
However, it should be recognized that all injuries due to falls cannot be prevented no matter what
surfacing material is used. We recommend that a shock absorbing material should extend a minimum
of 6ft in all directions from the perimeter of stationary equipment such as climbers and slides.
However, because children may deliberately jump from a moving swing, the shock absorbing material
should extend in the front and rear of a swing a minimum distance of 2 times the height of the pivot
point measured from a point directly beneath the pivot on the supporting structure.
This 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 the playground equipment,the availability of the material in your
area and its cost.
Note: The maximum fall height for this product is 6 feet. The minimum ground clearance between the
bottom of the suspended plays and the playing or ground service must be 8 inches.
