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

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

way. Maintain a clear area around your Funky Monkey Bars®.
