Clearance Requirements.
SWING SET OR OTHER HORIZONTAL BEAM ASSEMBLY:
• Aach the re swing to a swing set by removing one set of chains from an exisng
swing and aach the upper loop (above the PVC separator bar) to chain support hook
on the underside of the swing set crossbar. Then close the hook. See horizontal beam

SELECTIVE PROTECTIVE SURFACING
One of the most important things you can do to reduce the likelihood of serious head
injuries is to install shock-absorbing protecve surfacing under and around your play
equipment. The protecve 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.
NOTE—Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, or any other
hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to the equipment
user. Grass and dirt are not considered protecve surfacing because wear and
environmental factors can reduce their shock absorbing eecveness. Carpeng and
thin mats are generally not adequate protecve surfacing. Ground level equipment
such as a sandbox, acvity wall, playhouse or other equipment that has no elevated
play surface-does not need any protecve surfacing.
PLACEMENT: Proper placement and maintenance of protecve surfacing is
essenal. Be sure to:
