WARNING
1. Place the equipment on level ground, not less than 6 ft. (1.8 m) from any structure or
obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or
electrical wires.
2. DO NOT install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed earth,
grass, carpet, or any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious
injury or death to the equipment user.
3. Create a site free of obstacles that could cause injuries- such as low overhanging tree
branches, overhead wires, tree stumps and/or roots, large rocks, bricks, and concrete.
4. Choose a level location for the equipment. This can reduce the likelihood of the play set
tipping over and loose-fill surfacing materials washing away during heavy rains.
5. Children must not use this equipment until it is properly installed.
6. One week after assembly, check equipment for loose or missing bolts. Tighten and
replace if needed.
7. Fall Height: 60”(152 cm). We recommend using 9” (15 cm) of Double Shredded Bark
Mulch.
User should read and understand rules. Supervisor should be sure that these
rules are always properly followed:

Operating & Maintenance Instructions
WARNING
Observing the following statements and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury.
Adult supervision is recommended for children of all ages at all times while the Jungle Gym is being used.
Do not use the equipment in a manner other than intended.
Do not allow children to jump from moving play items.
Users should be dressed appropriately. Users wearing inappropriate items such as but not limited to, loose fitting
clothing, hood and neck drawstrings, scarves, cord-connected items, cape, and ponchos should not be allowed to
play on the equipment. These items can cause death by strangulation.
Do not climb on the equipment when it is wet.
Do not allow others to attach items to playground equipment that are not specifically designed for use with the
equipment. Such as, but not limited to, jump ropes, clothing lines, pet leashes, cables and chains as they may
cause a strangulation hazard.
Users need to remove their bike or other sports helmet before playing on the playground equipment.
Users need to be dressed in well-fitting and full foot enclosing footwear. Examples of inappropriate footwear are
clogs, flip flops, and sandals.
Do not move equipment while it is in use.
Do routine checks and maintenance procedures regularly, if not done the equipment could overturn and/or
become a hazard.
Check surfacing material and replenish as necessary to maintain proper depth.
Remove any tripping hazards, such as exposed concrete footings, tree stumps, or rocks.
Check all nuts and bolts regularly for tightness and tighten as required. It is particularly important that this
procedure be followed at the beginning of each season.
Check all coverings for bolts and sharp edges regularly to be certain they are in place. It is especially important
to do this at the beginning of each new season.
Do not use the equipment when the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius.

SAFETY COMMISSION’S (USCPSC) Outdoor Home
Playground Safety Guidelines:
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 Specification F1292. There are different types of surfacing to
choose from; whichever product you select, follow these guidelines:
1. Loose-Fill Materials:
a. 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 equipment up to 8 feet high; and 9 inches of sandor pea gravel for equipment
up to 5 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,

5 | P a g e
and settle, and should be periodically refilled to maintain at least a 9-inch depth.
b. Use a minimum of 6 inches of protective surfacing for play equipment less than
4 feet in height. If maintained properly, this should be adequate. (At depths
less than 6 inches, the protective material is too easily displaced or compacted.)
NOTE: Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, or
any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to
the equipment user. Grass and dirt are not considered protective surfacing
because wear and environmental factors can reduce their shock absorbing
effectiveness. Carpeting and thin mats are generally not adequate protective
surfacing. Ground level equipment –such as a sandbox, activity wall,
playhouse or other equipment that has no elevated play surface –does not need
any protective surfacing.
c. 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.
d. 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.
e. Do not install loose fill surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.
2. Poured-In-Place Surfaces or Pre-Manufactured Rubber Tiles:
You may be interested in using surfacing other than loose-fill materials –like rubber
tiles or poured-in-place surfaces.
a. Installations of these surfaces generally require a professional and are not “do-
it-yourself” projects.
b. 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 within the Use Zone of Playground
Equipment. This report should show the specific height for which the surface
is intended to protect against serious head injury. This height should be equal
to or greater than the fall height –vertical distance between a designated play
surface (elevated surface for standing, sitting, or climbing) and the protective
surfacing below –of your play equipment.
c. Check the protective surfacing frequently for wear.
3. Placement - Proper placement and maintenance of protective surfacing is essential. Be
sure to:
a. Extend surfacing at least 6 feet from the equipment in all directions.
b. 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.
c. For tire swings, extend surfacing in a circle whose radius is equal to the height
of the suspending chain or rope, plus 6 feet in all directions.
