Component Playgrounds MT30-10 User manual

Dear Customer:
Thank you for purchasing your equipment from Component Playgrounds!!! We are proud of our
commercial grade products made for kids of all ages & sizes, and we are confident that you will enjoy
your equipment for many years.
Because you have purchased a top of the line commercial grade product, you will need to be
aware of some specific shipping requirements that may be different from shipments you have received in
the past through other delivery companies (such as UPS), and you should follow the guidelines below
carefully.
1. In most cases your product will arrive via common carrier truck line directly to your home with
curbside delivery only. This means the driver will facilitate the offloading of the shipment at the curb, or
most reasonable place near the curb and your house. You are then responsible to have someone
physically capable to help unload the product upon delivery and note the condition of the product
as per below instructions.
2. Your product may arrive on a pallet and upon delivery—locate the packing list (usually
attached to the hardware box & orange & black in color) and verify that each piece listed is with the
shipment. *** Please disregard any delivery driver stated “time crunches” or “needs to leave
quickly” and inspect the product to your satisfaction = this is your product so make sure it is all
there in good condition or noted properly before the driver leaves.***
3. If there are any parts/pieces missing, note this directly on the delivery receipt BEFORE you
sign and receive your copy of the receipt, with wording such as “missing xyz part” etc. Note: some
shipments will have more than one pallet so check both before noting missing.
4. Similar to #3 above, also note the condition of the pieces and if any parts have been damaged
in shipping note this directly on the delivery receipt BEFORE you sign and get your copy from the driver
(in particular inspect slides for damage).
5. If your shipment appears to have damage and /or missing pieces, a freight claim must be fi led
with the freight company w/in two business days. Component Playgrounds will assist you with this
process if it is necessary. Contact the shipping manager toll free @ 877-530-0222 for claims assistance.
6. Ask your driver to sign or initial the freight slip acknowledging any damage or discrepancies.
7. Get a copy of the signed delivery receipt from your delivery driver BEFORE he leaves.
8. If you are concerned or don’t know what you should do with a certain situation regarding the
shipment, please call the shipping manager toll free @ 877-530-0222 before the driver leaves.
All shortages and damaged items are the sole responsibility of the carrier. You are responsible to
notify Component Playgrounds of any shortages or damage relating to your shipment w/in 2 business
days of receipt of your equipment. After this time, any claim for shortage or loss cannot be honored.
Component Playgrounds cannot be responsible for replacement of any parts, missing or
damaged, that have not been properly noted on the delivery receipt. Component Playgrounds
cannot be responsible for damaged or missing pieces due to the fault of, or loss by the freight
company.
Thanks again & remember to tell your friends about your product from Component Playgrounds!

PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING
*Before digging, please obey local laws by notifying your local utilities marking
organization*
1. Select an area in your yard that is reasonably level and meets the space requirement
for your equipment. Ground Space: 18’ x 12’. Play Space: 22’ x 24’.
2. Please refer to the outrigger assembly sheet and assemble your outrigger as
instructed.
3. Position the Outrigger (see outrigger assembly page) about 12’ from the selected
spot where you want the unit to finally stand. Using a tape measure and marker,
mark location of the swing hangers and the ladder along the outrigger. (see top
view on assembly and installation instructions for measurements.)
4. Assemble swing hangers (see swing hanger assembly sheet) and attach securely to
the outrigger. Hint: Only attach the three swing hangers that will be on the inside of
the ladder and the A frame legs.
5. Using the hammer, install the plug into the open end of the outrigger.
6. Locate position in your yard where the upright ladder will stand. Dig the hole for the
ladder (see Installation Instructions page #1). Lay the ladder onto the ground with
the bottom of the ladder laying just over the hole where it will finally stand. Hint: Be
sure to situate the ladder so that when the unit is finally standing the rungs and the
third leg bolt will be facing as desired in your space.
7. Turn the outrigger onto its side on the ground. Slide the outrigger into the sleeve at
the top of the ladder and position it to the marks previously made. (see Installation
Instruction page #3). Loosely install set screws into the top of the ladder sleeve.
Bolt “A” frame legs into place (see installation instructions page #2).
8. Using two strong adults, stand the swing frame up, allowing the ladder to fall into
the hole previously dug. (Note: set will not be level at this point.) At this point,
check to make sure that the outrigger is still in its proper place inside the ladder top
sleeve. Adjust as necessary by holding onto the ladder securely and pushing or
pulling the “A” frame section causing the outrigger to slide inside the top sleeve.

When you are satisfied that the outrigger is in the proper position, securely tighten
the set screws in the top sleeve of the ladder.
9. With the ladder still standing in its hole, situate the “A” frame end to the desired
position in the play area. Determine location of the “A” frame legs and mark the
holes. Move the legs out of the way and dig the holes. (Keep most of the hole to the
inside of the leg). Place the legs into the holes.
10. Measure from about the middle of the outrigger to the ground. This measurement
should be 10’. Determine the level of the swing set by using the level along the
length of the top rail. Remove from, or add soil to the holes as necessary to put the
unit to the correct height and to make it level.
11. Slide 3rd leg sleeve onto the top rail that is sleeved into the outside of the 10’
ladder.
12. Measure 5 ½’ - 6’ away from the 10’ Upright Ladder to mark and dig the hole for
the Third Leg (see #1B hole sizes for cementing).
13. Before installing the third leg, locate the third leg. Insert ⅜” x 3½” Hex Bolt and
loosely thread ⅜” Nut into the bottom hole. Nut will not thread all the way on and
bolt will be loose. (This is to act as an anchor in the concrete and does not need to
be tight.)
14. Install Third Leg by dropping the end into the hole and sliding the top into the 3rd
leg sleeve. Use the 3/8” x 2 3/4” hex bolt and 3/8” nyloc nut. Then secure 3rd leg
with set screw on under side. (see diagram #4) When properly positioned, secure
the set screws in the top of the 3rd leg sleeve.
15. Determine location of turning bar hole by placing the turning bar up to the ladder.
Mark and dig the hole. Attach the turning bar to the ladder. Check and adjust the
level of the turning bar. (See #4 fire pole and turning bar assembly.)
16. Mix concrete according to package directions and pour into the holes. (See
installation instructions page #1.) You will use approximately 6-7 80 pound bags in
the ladder hole and 1 ½ bags in each of the leg holes.
17. Allow the concrete to cure completely before you use your swing set (3-5 days).
18. Attach chains and swing seats and enjoy your Component Playground.

Assembly process. (Refer to spacing diagram and graphic found above)
Step 3: Insert and tighten (4) 3/8” x 3/8” set screws into each of the Triple End
Sleeves using Allen Wrench provided.
Step 4: Slide smaller diameter part of shorter top rail into the open end of the
longer top rail which is already attached to triple end.
