in this document. The person in charge of assembling and using the equipment must ensure that the
recommendations for use given in this document are seen by all users.
2. Only use the Funky Monkey Bars® after they have been fully assembled and after checking that the
fittings are tightened properly (refer to page 3 - Correct Tightening Method).
3. DO NOT install your Funky Monkey Bars® over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, wood decking or any
other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury or death.

8. Children should be supervised by an adult at all times.
9. Installing a gym/crash mat under the fall zone area of your Funky Monkey Bars® would be recommended

Bars®, especially lower quality products that have not been approved by Funky Monkey Bars®.
15. Ensure the height of your Funky Monkey Bars® (horizontal ladder) are set at a level that is age appropriate.
16. DO NOT install your Funky Monkey Bars® over or near objects that could interfere with users in an unsafe
way. Maintain a clear area around your Funky Monkey Bars®.
