NOTE: Tri-Pad Traverse attached from Post to
Mount Arm shown. Other configurations will
vary slightly, but does not affect assembly.
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.
(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
