Here are some maintenance tips required to insure safe enjoyment of your equipment for years to come.

A. At the beginning of each usage season and every two weeks during, check: nuts and bolts and tighten as needed,

swing seats, chains, ladders, slides, rope and wood components for signs of deterioration and replace if necessary.

B. On a yearly basis, we recommend that you coat your playset with a sealant or preservative. You may also want to spot

sand any areas prior to sealing. Be sure that the sealant you select is non-toxic and child safe. Your local WOODPLAY

dealer may offer a complete sealant and maintenance program.

C. Do not use line trimmers or “weed eaters” around your play equipment. The line will remove both paint and wood

from uprights and base pieces. Any damage resulting from this type of abuse is not covered under our limited

warranty.

D. Remove plastic swing seats and take indoors or do not use when the temperature drops below 0º F.

E. When the time comes to disassemble and dispose of the play equipment, do so in such a way that no hazards will

exist at the time the equipment is discarded.

Welcome to our family of ready-to-build backyard play equipment. WOODPLAY playsets are designed with ease

of assembly in mind and we provide these step-by-step installation instructions.

After reading the information below, locate your structure site and carefully unpack parts. As you unpack your

playset, notice the part identification tags on each part and become familiar with each part before beginning assembly.

Remember that a little extra time spent familiarizing yourself with the parts and instructions before you begin will help you

avoid mistakes and save you time later.

When selecting your structure site, always keep

the child’s safety in mind. Here are some recommendations

to help you create a safe play area.

A. The playset should be located on level ground. The

stationary components such as ladders and slides are

REQUIRED to be a minimum of six feet from any structure

or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, tree or

overhanging branches, electrical wires or clotheslines.

Any swinging equipment is also to be a REQUIRED

minimum distance twice the height of the swing beam

away from these obstructions or structures as well. We

also recommend that you do not install your playset

near a lake, river, swimming pool or other water hazard.

B. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)

recommends that you install and maintain a resilient

surface under your play equipment. The CPSC’s

Consumer

Choosing A Location For Your Playset

If you have any questions about your playset, or are in need of replacement parts, contact your local

WOODPLAY Representative. Please keep these instructions for future reference.

Maintaining Your Playset

I N T R O D U C T I O N

Information Sheet for Playground Surfacing Materials is

on the last page. A resilient surface, should be installed

after the equipment has been completely assembled

according to these instructions. The equipment must

rest on solid ground. Please note that this product has a

maximum fall height of 8’.

Do not install home playground equipment indoors, or

over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet or

any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can

result in serious or fatal injury.

Responsible on-site adult supervision is one of the most

important contributions to children’s safety that you

can make. WOODPLAY strongly recommends on-site

adult supervision of children of all ages. Safe swinging

and climbing skills need to be taught to children, just

like any other physical activity.

S A F E T Y I N S T R U C T I O N S

Adults Must:

• Not to walk close to, in front of, behind, or between

moving items.

• Not to twist the swing ropes, or loop them over the

top support bar, since this may reduce the strength

of the rope.

• Not to swing empty swing seats.

• Not to swing sideways into the path of adjacent

swings.

• Not to use the equipment in a manner other than

that for which it is intended.

• Not to get off the equipment while it is

in motion.

• Not to jump off the tower.

• Not to climb or swing when they are wet or when the

equipment is wet.

• Not to stand in the swing seats.

• Not to ride or leave bicycles or other toys in the

swing area.

• Not to use hammers, saws, nails, or wrenches on

the equipment.

• Not to swing so high that chains become slack, or

above the height of the swing support.

• Not to jump on a slide.

• Not to climb on top of the swing support.

• Not to attach to the playground equipment any item

that is not specifically designed for use with the

equipment, such as (but not limited to) jump ropes,

clotheslines, pet leashes, cables, and chains. These

may become strangulation hazards.

• To sit in the center of the swings with their full.

weight on the seats.

• To hold on to swings and climbers with.

both hands.

• To slide feet first, never head first..

• To watch for other children while swinging or playing.

near the equipment.

• Limit climbing and swinging heights to each child’s

ability.

• Verify that suspended climbing ropes are secured at

both ends.

• Verify that suspended climbing ropes cannot be

looped back on themselves.

• Dress children appropriately for play. Use well-fitting

Shoes that do not have slippery soles.

• Avoid ponchos, scarves, hoods, loose-fitting clothing,

neckties, and any clothing with a drawstring. Serious

injury could result should any part of the children’s

clothing become entangled in the equipment.

• Do not allow children to play wearing helmets.

• Remember that children are inventive. When they

develop games that are unsafe, be alert and change

the rules.

Teach Children:

ŸNote the weight limit for any single user on

WOODPLAY equipment is 200 pounds. Limit the

number of users to one on each swing. The tower

portion of the play system will accommodate four

to six additional users with a max combined weight

of 1100 pounds for entire playset.

• This product is intended for use by children from

ages 3 to 12 years of age
