Warnings and Safe Play Instructions
CONTINUOUS ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED. Most serious injuries and deaths on playground equipment have occurred
while children were unsupervised! Our products are designed to meet mandatory and voluntary safety standards. Complying
with all warnings and recommendations in these instructions will reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury to children using
this play system. Go over the warnings and safe play instructions regularly with your children and make certain that they
understand and follow them. Remember on-site adult supervision is required for children of all ages.
Observe capacity limitations of your play-set. See
front cover.
Dress children with well fitting and full foot enclosing
footwear.
Teach children to sit with their full weight in the center
of the swing seat to prevent erratic swing motion or
falling off.
Check for splintered, broken or cracked wood; missing,
loose, or sharp edged hardware. Replace, tighten and or
sand smooth as required prior to playing.
Verify that suspended climbing ropes, rope ladders, chain
or cable are secured at both ends and cannot be looped
back on itself as to create an entanglement hazard.
On sunny and or hot days, check the slide and other
plastic rides to assure that they are not very hot as to
cause burns. Cool hot slide and rides with water and wipe
dry prior to using.
Do not allow children to wear open toe or heel footwear
like sandals, flip–flops or clogs.
Do not allow children to walk, in front, between, behind
or close to moving rides.
Do not let children twist swing chains or ropes or loop
them over the top support bar. This may reduce the
strength of the chain or rope and cause premature failure.
Do not let children get off rides while they are in motion.
Do not permit climbing on equipment when it is wet.
Do not permit rough play or use of equipment in a
manner for which it was not intended. Standing on or
jumping from the roof, elevated platforms, swings,
climbers, ladders or slide can be dangerous.
Do not allow children to swing empty rides or seats.
Do not allow children to go down slide head first or
run up slide.

SERIOUS HEAD INJURY HAZARD
Installation over concrete, asphalt, dirt, grass, carpet
and other hard surface creates a risk of serious injury
or death from falls to the ground. Install and maintain
shock absorbing material under and around play-set as
recommended on page 3 of these instructions.
COLLISION HAZARD
Place play-set on level ground at least 6 feet from any
obstruction such as a garage or house, fences, poles,
trees, sidewalks, walls, landscape timbers, rocks,
pavement, planters, garden borders, overhanging
branches, laundry lines, and electrical wires. (See
OBSTACLE FREE SAFETY ZONE on cover)
CHOKING HAZARD/SHARP EDGES & POINTS
Adult assembly required. This product contains small
parts and parts with sharp edges and points. Keep parts
away from children until fully assembled.

Failure to prohibit these items, even helmets with chin
straps, increases the risk of serious injury and death to
children from entanglement and strangulation.
TIP OVER HAZARD
Choose a level location for the equipment. This can reduce
the likelihood of the play set tipping over and loose-fill
surfacing materials washing away during heavy rains.
DO NOT allow children to play on the play-set until the
assembly is complete and the unit is properly anchored.

Keys to Assembly Success
Part Identification Key
On each page, you will find the parts and
quantities required to complete the assembly
step illustrated on that page. Here is a sample.
Symbols
Throughout these instructions symbols are provided as important reminders for proper and safe assembly.
Proper Hardware Assembly
Lag screws require drilling pilot
holes to avoid splitting wood. Only
a flat washer is required. For ease of
installation liquid soap can be used
on all lag-type screws.
For bolts, tap T-Nut into hole with
hammer. Insert the hex bolt through
lock washer first then flat washer then
hole. Because the assemblies need to
be squared do not completely tighten
until instructed. Pay close attention to
diameter of the bolts. 5/16” is slightly
larger than 1/4”.
Once the assembly is tightened, watch for exposed
threads. If a thread protrudes from the T-Nut, remove the
bolt and add washers to eliminate this condition. Extra
washers have been provided for this purpose.
This identifies information that requires special
attention. Improper assembly could lead to an
unsafe or dangerous condition.
Where this is shown, 2 or 3
people are required to safely
complete the step. To avoid
injury or damage to the
assembly make sure to get help!
Check that assembly is square
before tightening bolts.
Use a measuring tape to assure
proper location.
Check that set or assembly is properly level
before proceeding.
Pre-drill a pilot hole before
fastening screw or lag to prevent
splitting of wood.
This indicates time to tighten bolts, but
not too tight! Do not crush the wood.
This may create splinters and cause
structural damage.

Step 2: Swing Beam Assembly
Make sure triangle is
tight against beam
Warning: For your child’s safety,
orientate the swing hangers as
shown to ensure your swing will
have proper swing motion when
installed. Failure to do so could
result in premature failure of the
swing hanger or swing chain.
