2. CHOOSING THE CLIMBERS LADDER LOCATION
Use extreme care when selecting a location.
• Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet or any
other hard surfaces. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury or death to the equipment user.
• Caution: We recommend a soft, grass area underneath that is clear of ALL obstacles: bushes, rocks, or
anything else that could cause injury. If the grass course becomes hard-packed over time, move course
to a softer location.
• It is also recommended that you place cushioning materials in and around your CLIMBERS LADDER
• See Public Playground Safety Handbook: Visit: www.cpsc.gov//PageFiles/122149/325.pdf. for
specifications.
• Select a location that is easily viewed from your house to allow for supervision and observation.
• Do not setup rope over swimming pools, ponds, streams or rivers as drowning may result.
3. ATTACHING YOUR CLIMBERS LADDER

debris or anything that could cause injury.
• YOU MUST select a healthy tree branch that is 10 inch (26cm)
in diameter or 32 inch (82cm) in circumference at the portion
of the branch you are going to attach to.
• If you are unsure about the health of your selected tree branch,
consult an arborist. Tip: One good place start looking for an arborist

4. INSPECTION AND MANDATORY LOAD STRESS TEST
Before anyone uses the CLIMBERS LADDER, you must:
Step 1: Keep your course clear - Bystanders should maintain a safe distance from the ladder of
at least 10ft (3.1m) to prevent impacts by person’s jumping down. If you are unsure about your health for
using your CLIMBERS LADDER please consult with your doctor before attempting
Step 2: Inspect your equipment- Carefully examine your CLIMBERS LADDER for any signs of wear,
damage or deterioration. Replace only with genuine b4Adventure parts. Call 1-844-834-4334
Step 3: MANDATORY LOAD STRESS TEST- Suspend 350 LBS (159kg) from your ladder by attaching
weights or have two people (who weigh 350 LBS together) grip the rope and gradually suspend their
weight on the rope until both of their feet are off the ground. CAUTION: If at any time during the testing,
if you hear or see and signs of weakness (cracking sounds, fraying etc.) stop your test, you must select
either a different location or replace damaged parts.
