(A) Use liquid thread lock (such as Loctite
®
) with all threaded hardware. Important: Liquid thread lock (prior to
curing) helps to eliminate the common problem of "thread seizure" in stainless steel hardware by serving as a
lubricant during assembly.
(B) Do not pour concrete until the equipment is completely assembled, leveled and plumbed. Concrete must
be allowed to cure completely before using the equipment (at least 72 hours).
(C) IMPORTANT:
Initial brake adjustment must be set and periodically maintained to limit the speed of
revolutions. Refer to current ASTM 1487 standards. The maximum rotations per minute for Spin Max events
shall be no greater than 31. Test with the applied force of a male adult between the ages of 18 to 34, 150 lbs.
[68 kgs.] to 190 lbs. [86 kgs] and 68" [1727 mm] to 73" [1854 mm] tall. If any questions or concerns arise
during the installation or maintenance of the Spin Max brake, please contact the factory and ask to speak to a
customer service representative at 1-800-333-8519 .
(D) Minimum distance of the underside outer edge should be 9" [230 mm] or greater above protective surface.
(E) An appropriate energy absorbing safety surface is required under and around all playground equipment.
Loose fill protective surfacing is shown only as an example for the purpose of this assembly instruction. Other
surfacing material may vary in thickness and/or compression depths. See free publication - The Handbook for
Public Playground Safety, Publication #325 at www.cpsc.gov for the surfacing appropriate for the fall height of
the equipment or consult your surfacing supply representative.

footing hole. Refer to Footing
Detail for depth and details.
IMPORTANT: For areas with soft
soil conditions, larger footings may
be required.
* Footing depth must be adjusted
to compensate for the
depth/thickness requirements of
selected safety surfacing. See
Section 06.1 of the Installation
Manual.
** For P.I.P. / Rubber Tile Surfacing footing depth
must be adjusted to ensure Leg Hardware and
Speed Limiter Cover are accessible for maintenance.
