IMPORTANT! ANCHORING AND SURFACING INSTRUCTIONS

ASTMrequiresallkitsmustbeanchoredtothegroundand,iftheunithasaclimbingrope,theropeendmustbeanchoredaswell.Ifsoilconditionspermitstakestobepulledouteasily,cementingintogroundisnecessary

●

Toanchortheunittotheground,Followtheinstructionsincludedinthisplantoapplymetalanchoringdevicestoyourunit,oruse2”x4”x18”(45mmx95mmx457mm)pressuretreatedstakes.Poundstakesintogroundatleast12”

(305mm)atallinsidecornersoftheposts(includingA-framelegsandclimbingunitposts).Attachwithfour(4)3-1/2”screws(approvedfortreatedwood)perstakeintoeachtowerand/orA-frameupright.

●

Iftheunithasaclimbingrope,securelyanchortheropeatbothends.Besureanchorsareburiedorotherwisecoveredwithprotectivesurfacing.Exposedanchors,hooks,bolts,etc.cancreatetrippinghazardsorleadtootherinjuries.

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F1292.Therearedi󰀨erenttypesofsurfacingtochoosefrom;whicheverproductyouselect,followtheseguidelines:

Loose-Fill Materials:

♦ Maintainaminimumdepthof9inchesofloose-llmaterialssuchaswoodmulch/chips,engineeredwoodber(EWF),orshredded/recycledrubbermulchforequipmentupto8feethigh;and9inchesofsandorpea

 gravelforequipmentupto5feethigh.NOTE:Aninitiallllevelof12incheswillcompresstoabouta9-inchdepthofsurfacingovertime.Thesurfacingwillalsocompact,displace,andsettle,andshouldbe

 periodicallyrelledtomaintainatleasta9-inchdepth.

♦

Useaminimumof6inchesofprotectivesurfacingforplayequipmentlessthan4feetinheight.Ifmaintainedproperly,thisshouldbeadequate.(Atdepthslessthan6inches,theprotectivematerialistooeasilydisplacedorcompacted.)

♦ 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.

♦ Checkandmaintainthedepthoftheloose-llsurfacingmaterial.Tomaintaintherightamountofloose-llmaterials,markthecorrectlevelonplayequipmentsupportposts.Thatwayyoucaneasilyseewhento

replenish and/or redistribute the surfacing.

♦ Do not installloosellsurfacingoverhardsurfacessuchasconcreteorasphalt.

Poured-In-Place Surfaces or Pre-Manufactured Rubber Tiles: Youmaybeinterestedinusingsurfacingotherthanloose-llmaterials—likerubbertilesorpoured-in-placesurfaces.

♦ Installationsofthesesurfacesgenerallyrequireaprofessionalandarenot“do-it-yourself”projects.

♦ Reviewsurfacespecications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

 SpecicationforImpactAttenuationofSurfacingMaterialswithintheUseZoneofPlaygroundEquipment.Thisreportshouldshowthespecic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.

♦ Checktheprotectivesurfacingfrequentlyforwear.

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

♦ Extendsurfacingatleast6feetfromtheequipmentinalldirections.

♦ Forto-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.

♦ Fortireswings,extendsurfacinginacirclewhoseradiusisequaltotheheightofthesuspendingchainorrope,plus6feetinalldirections.
