STEP ONE - Prepare for Installation
Information:
TheSpaceSaverBeammountstoeitherthefrontortheback
ofthegym.Thepositionoftheswingsrequirethatthereare
noaccessoriesmountedtothesidesofthegym.
Before assembly remove theAccess Ladder or any other
itemsthatareonthesidesofthetower.
RemovetheWallSlatsandEndWallSupportfromtheendof
thegymwheretheBeamistobemounted.
TheSpaceSaverBeamisdesignedtomounttothefrontor
backoftheWilliamsburgandLexingtongyms.Seetheas-
semblyinstructionsandowner'smanualthatcamewithyour
playsetformoreextensiveinformation.

• TheSafePlayAreareferstoazoneextending6'beyond
theplaysetonallsides,includingtheslideandthespace
abovetheplayset.Becausechildrenmaydeliberatelyjump
fromamovingswing,theSafePlayAreamustbeextended
to14'-8"infrontofandbehindaswingingaccessory.
• Thegroundsurfacemustbelevel.Installingyourplayset
onslopinggroundcancauseittoleanor“rack".Thisleaning
puts additional stress on all connections and joints and in
timewillcausethoseconnectionstoloosenandfail.
• The Safe PlayArea must be free of all structures, land-
scaping,treesandbranches,rocks,wires,andotherobsta-
clestosafeplay.Childrencanbeseriouslyinjuredrunning,
orswingingintotheseobstacles.
• RemovealltrippinghazardsfromtheSafePlayArea.Trip-
ping hazards include; roots, stumps, rocks, landscaping,
sprinkler heads, railroad ties, plumbing and electrical con-
nections.
• Donotinstallyourplaysetoverconcrete,gravel,asphalt,
packed earth, or any other hard surface. The following is
a list of recommended ground covers from the Consumer
ProductSafetyCommission.
• Anyedgingusedtocontainthegroundcovermustbebe-
yondtheSafePlayArea.(i.e..LandscapeTimbers)
• ThemaximumfallheightforyourplaysetwithSpaceSav-
erBeamis96"asmeasuredfromthetopoftheBeam.
