Spiral Step Climber
(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) 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.

Dig (1) Ø 12" footing hole. Refer to Footing Detail for
depth and details.
IMPORTANT: For areas with soft soil conditions, larger
footings may be required. Additionally, half foot deck
heights will require 6" deeper footing holes.

depth/thickness requirements of selected safety
surfacing. See Section 06.1 of the Installation Manual.
