T e Consumer Product Safety Commission provides t e
following consumer information for your Home Playground Equipment
• This product is intended for single-family residential
use only, by children ages two to ten and a maxi-
mum weight of 105 pounds. Any recommendation
over 10 years of age or 105 pounds exceeds the
upper limits specified in the American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) Home Playground
Safety Standard. In order for PlayStar to comply
with the ASTM Standard, we cannot recommend
anyone above these limits.
• It is a misuse of this product when installed or used
in places of public assembly such as schools or parks.
Select Protective Surfacing
Poured-In-Place Surfaces or
Pre-Manufactured Rubber Tiles
Placement
One of the most important things you can
do to reduce the likelihood of serious head
injuries is to install shock-absorbing
protective surfacing under and around
your play equipment. The protective
surfacing should be applied to a depth
that is suitable for the equipment height in
accordance with ASTM F1292. There are
different types of surfacing to choose from;
whichever product you select, follow these
guidelines:
NOTE: Do not install ome playground
equipment over concrete, asp alt, or
any ot er ard surface. A fall onto a
ard surface can result in serious
injury to t e equipment user. Grass
and dirt are not considered protective
surfacing because wear and
environmental factors can reduce t eir
s ock absorbing effectiveness.
Carpeting and t in mats are generally
not adequate protective surfacing.
Ground level equipment -- suc as a
sandbox, activity wall, play ouse or
ot er equipment t at as no elevated
play surface -- does not need any
protective surfacing.
• Maintain a minimum depth of 9 inches of
loose-fill materials such as wood mulch /
chips, engineered wood fiber (EWF), or
shredded/recycled rubber mulch for
PlayStar Playsets require fall-height
protection from eight feet.
equipment up to 8 feet high. NOTE: An
initial fill level of 12 inches will compress
to about a 9-inch depth of surfacing over
time. The surfacing will also compact,
displace, and settle, and should be
periodically refilled to maintain at least a
9-inch depth.
• Use containment, such as digging out
around the perimeter and/or lining the
perimeter with landscape edging. Don’t
forget to account for water drainage.
• Check and maintain the depth of the
loose-fill surfacing material. To maintain
the right amount of loose-fill materials,
mark the correct level on play equipment
support posts. That way you can easily
see when to replenish and/or redistribute
the surfacing.
•Do not install loose fill surfacing over
hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.
This height should be equal to or greater
than the fall eig t - vertical distance
between a designated play surface
(elevated surface for standing, sitting, or
climbing) and the protective surfacing
below - of your play equipment.
• Check the protective surfacing frequently
for wear.
• Follow the instructions provided, do not alter its
design in any way.
• Construction requires at least two adults capable of
heavy lifting.
• Thoroughly read all safety instructions before
beginning.
• Children must remain clear of construction site until
this product is properly installed and ready for use.
• Save these instructions in the event the
manufacturer has to be contacted.
Proper placement and maintenance of
protective surfacing is essential.
Be sure to;
• Extend surfacing at least 6 feet from the
equipment in all directions.
• For to-fro swings, extend protective
surfacing in front of and behind the
swing to a distance equal to twice the
height of the top bar from which the
swing is suspended.
SAFETY
Loose-Fill Materials
You may be interested in using surfacing
other than loose-fill materials -- like rubber
tiles or poured-in-place surfaces.
• Installations of these surfaces generally
require a professional and are not
“do- it-yourself” projects.
• Review surface specifications before
purchasing this type of surfacing. Ask the
installer/manufacturer for a report showing
that the product has been tested to the
following safety standard: ASTM F1292
Standard Specification for Impact
Attenuation of Surfacing Materials wit in
t e Use Zone of Playground Equipment.
This report should show the specific
height for which the surface is intended
to protect against serious head injury.

INSTA ATION:
1. Follow the instructions provided, do not
alter its design in any way.
2. Place the playset on level ground, not
less than 6' (1.8m) from any structure
or obstruction such as a fence, garage,
house, overhanging branches, laundry
lines or electrical wires. If the area
where you will be installing your play-
set is not level, you must make it level.
3. Playsets must be anchored to the
ground. Follow the anchoring instruc-
tions provided with your building kit. If
soil conditions permit anchors to be
pulled out easily, such as in sandy soil
conditions, cementing is required.
4. Tighten all bolts securely to the intended
member then cut off all protruding
threaded ends of bolts with a hack saw
flush to the end of the nut and
remove sharp edges with a metal file.
WARNING: Children must not use the
playset until properly installed and proper
shock-absorbing surfacing material is in place.
OPERATION: Observing and
following state ents and warnings
reduces the likelihood of serious or
fatal injury.
1. On-site adult supervision is recommended
for children of all ages.
2. Only one child, for each single planned
seat or single planned activity should
be allowed on this set at one time, with
a maximum weight of 105 pounds for
each child.
WARNING: You must teach children the
following:
A. Not to walk close to, in front of, behind,
or between moving items.
B. Not to twist swing chains or ropes or
loop them over the top support bar since
this may reduce the strength of the
chain or rope.
C. Avoid swinging empty seats.
D. To Sit in the center of the swings with
their full weight on the seats.
E. Not to use the equipment in a manner
other than intended.
F.
Not to get off equipment while it is in motion.
G. Not to climb when equipment is wet.
H. Not to attach items to the playground
equipment that are not specifically
designed for use with the equipment
such as, but not limited to, jump
ropes, clothesline, pet leashes, cables
and chain as they may cause a
strangulation hazard.
I. Remove bike or other sports helmet
before playing on the play equipment
as the helmet may become entrapped
in an enclosed opening and cause a
strangulation hazard.
3. Verify that suspended climbing ropes
are secured at both ends and that they
cannot be looped back on themselves.
(A rope that is not taut enough may
cause a strangulation hazard.)
4. Dress children appropriately. Provide
well fitting shoes. Avoid ponchos,
scarves, and other loose-fitting clothing
which is potentially hazardous while
using equipment.
5. Verify that all suspended swinging
components have at least 8" clear-
ance between the lowest point of
component and top of shock-absorbing
surfacing material.
WARNING: Lawn swings are designed for
use by children two years of age and older.
Use by children under the age of two can
result in entrapment between the seat and
backrest. NEVER place children in a
rearward facing position or with legs
between the seat and backrest because
the child’s body may pass through the
opening causing entrapment of the child’s
head.
DISPOSA :
When the playset is to be retired from
service, disassemble and dispose of in
such a way that no unreasonable
hazards will exist. Follow your local
disposal requirements.
