FOOTING NOTES
• Support post footing depth equals 42 in. (1067 mm) less the depth of the protective
surfacing material. The post is designed to have 24" (610 mm) in concrete.
Example: If 12 in. (305 mm) of wood mulch is used for surfacing, the footing depth would
be 30 in. (762 mm).
• Component footing depth equals 30 in. (762 mm) less the depth of the protective surfacing
material. The post is designed to have 12" (305 mm) in concrete.
Example: If 12 in. (305 mm) of wood mulch is used for surfacing, the footing depth would
be 18 in. (457 mm).
• Some support posts and component support legs may have either a factory-applied
sticker with line, or factory-applied mark designating protective surfacing level on a clear
and level installation site.
• If play structure is installed on uneven terrain, maintain support post mark at protective
surfacing level at lowest grade. Adjust other footings accordingly. Support posts and all
attaching decks and play components must be plumb and level.
• Do not encase bottom of support post in concrete. Place post directly on packed stone
or porous block.
• The footings shown on Playworld Systems’ documentation are recommendations based
on historical performance in average soil conditions. Footing dimensions may be modifi ed
by the owner based on actual soil conditions.
For example:
- If local soil is loose or unstable, a larger footing may be required.
- If local soil is considered stable, such as bedrock, clay or hard packed earth, a smaller
footing may be used. Before changing footing dimensions, we strongly recommend that
the footings be reviewed and approved by a registered engineer.
• Base of footing must be below frost line.
• Assemble the entire structure before pouring concrete unless specifi cally instructed to
do so in the individual component installation instructions.

Guidelines
Important ! Please Read Completely Before Beginning Installation. According
to a report published by the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (C.P.S.C.)
72% of all playground injuries result from accidental falls. With this in mind, this
equipment is designed to ll the need for safe yet challenging play. In conjunction
with design efforts to reduce the possibilities of injuries, this equipment must
be installed "Step by Step" per our installation instructions. As a new owner you
are responsible for the correct installation, safe use, and maintenance of your
equipment.
Installation Guidelines
• Identify all parts and thoroughly read the assembly instructions before
beginning construction.
• Refer to your playground equipment plan and footing diagram to assure
the equipment purchased will t into your selected site area. The use and no-
encroachment zones around the play equipment shall be obstacle-free areas
designated for unrestricted circulation.
• ASTM compliance: For rotating play equipment that rotates around a vertical
axis, the use zone should extend on all sides a minimum distance of 72 inches
(1829 mm). This use zone may not be overlapped by the use zones of adjacent
play equipment. The exemption is equipment where the diameter of the platform
is less than 20 in. (510 mm) may overlap if the adjacent designated play surfaces
of each structure are less than 30 in. (760 mm) above the protective surface.
If adjacent designated play surfaces on either structure exceed a height of 30
in. (760 mm), the minimum distance between structures shall be 108 in. (2740
mm).
• CSA compliance: For rotating play equipment, the use zone should extend on
all sides a minimum distance of 1800 mm. This use zone may not be overlapped
by the use zones of adjacent play equipment. A no-encroachment zone is also
required for play equipment over 500 mm in diameter that rotates around a vertical
axis. In addition to the use zone measurement, this zone will extend an additional
1800 mm and may not be overlapped by the use or no-encroachment zones of
adjacent play equipment.
• EN compliance: For rotating play equipment, the use zone should extend on
all sides a minimum distance of 2000 mm. This use zone may not be overlapped
by the use zones of adjacent play equipment. There must also be a head clearance
of 2000 mm above the maximum height of the rotating play equipment. Refer to
the Use Zone diagram or master structure drawing.
• Site layout is a critical part of the overall installation. Footings must be
measured and marked accurately according to the footing diagram. A level and
clear installation site is ideal.
• Good drainage around the structure and its supports is important. Inquire with
local contractors for appropriate recommendations.
• After laying out all footings and before digging holes, be sure to inquire about
underground utilities that may exist.
• Do not leave the job site unattended without making sure that all fastening
hardware on all components are tightened according to tightening torque
specications listed on every installation guide. We also recommend roping off
construction area and covering all holes that do not contain a piece of equipment
with plywood or other suitable material.
• Excavate holes as shown in the footing detail. If a level and clear site cannot
be obtained, adjust the depth of footing to maintain a level footing base. If soil
conditions are loose or unstable, a larger diameter footing may be required. Inquire
with local contractors for appropriate recommendations. Be sure concrete that
might have splashed onto the unit is washed off before it dries. Allow concrete to
harden 72 hours before allowing your structure to be used. Assemble the entire
structure before pouring concrete unless specically instructed to do so in
the installation instructions.
• Insure that Age Appropriate and Hard Surface Warning/Playworld Systems
identication labels are properly afxed to the play equipment. Labels are to be
plainly visible according to current playground equipment guidelines.

Guidelines & Information (fs RPE) Annex Page 2 of 6
• IMPORTANT! Because accidental falls around your playground equipment
can occur, Playworld Systems recommends that the area under and around the
structure be covered with a resilient material such as sand, bark mulch, or wood
chips. If loose ll surfacing materials are used, Playworld Systems recommends
a depth of 12 in. (305 mm). An approved rubber safety matting can also be used.
Many protective surfacing materials can become compacted due to weather
and use, which reduces their shock absorbency. It is strongly recommended
that the surfacing be checked weekly and material added or replaced as
necessary. Hard surfaces, such as asphalt, concrete and packed earth are
not acceptable for use under playground equipment.
• The entire area, under and around the playground equipment, must be
covered with protective surfacing material. The impact attenuation of the
protective surfacing under and around playground equipment should be rated to
have a critical height value of at least the height of the highest accessible part
of the equipment. The critical height for surfacing is to be rated in accordance
with A.S.T.M. standard, designated F1292, A Standard Specication for Impact
Attenuation of Surface Systems Under and Around Playground Equipment. Critical
fall heights for Europe and Canadian compliance shall be listed on the elevation
page or master structure drawing if they differ from the ASTM standard. Contact
the manufacturer of unitary surfacing materials (rubber matting) for the critical
height rating for their products.
Tools Required: Playworld Systems supplies a service kit that contains commonly
used hex key wrenches required to assemble your equipment. You may also
need: shovel, digging iron, post hole digger, steel rake, wheelbarrow, garden hoe,
water hose, tape measure, level, alignment tool, 3/8" ratchet with 9/16" socket,
and 9/16" combination wrench.
Maintenance
• Inadequate maintenance of equipment has resulted in injuries on the
playground. Because the safety of playground equipment and its stability depends
on good inspection and maintenance, a comprehensive maintenance program
must be developed for each playground and strictly followed. All equipment
must be inspected frequently for any potential hazards. Special attention must to
be given to moving parts and other components that can be expected to wear.
Inspections must to be carried out in a systematic manner by trained personnel.
Any damaged or worn parts, or any other hazards identied during inspections
must be repaired or replaced immediately. Complete documentation of all
maintenance inspections and repairs must be retained.
Supervision Guidelines
• Playworld Systems strongly recommends close supervision of the children as
they play as well as intensive classroom and home instruction about safe behavior
on playground equipment.
• Playground supervisors should be aware that not all playground equipment is
appropriate for all children who may use the playground. Signs should be posted
near the equipment indicating the recommended age of the users. Supervisors
should direct children to equipment appropriate for their age.
• It is important that playground supervisors recognize that preschool-age
children require more attentive supervision on playgrounds than older children.
• Do not permit the use of wet playground equipment. Wet equipment will inhibit
necessary traction and gripping capabilities. Slips or falls could occur.
• Do not permit too many children on the same piece of equipment at the same
time. It is suggested that children take turns.
• Constantly observe play patterns to discover possible hazardous play and
suggest changes in equipment use or play patterns.
