GENERAL USE/FALL ZONE & FOOTING RECOMMENDATIONS
STATIONARY & PORTABLE EQUIPMENT – USE/FALL ZONES SHOULD EXTEND A MINIMUM OF 6 FEET IN ALL
DIRECTIONS FROM THE PERIMETER OF THE EQUIPMENT GROUND SPACE. THIS AREA SHOULD BE COVERED
WITH THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF RESILIENT SAFETY SURFACING MATERIAL. FOR SOME EQUIPMENT –
USE/FALL ZONES CAN OVERLAP. SEE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION GUIDELINES.
DIAMETER & DEPTH OF FOOTING ILLUSTRATED ARE SATISFACTORY IN MOST APPLICATIONS FOR PIPE
SIZES UP TO 2 3/8” DIAMETER. VARYING SOIL & CLIMATIC CONDITIONS MAY REQUIRE DEEPER &
HEAVIER FOOTINGS IN SOME AREAS. CHECK LOCAL BUILDING CODES.
* If resilient surfacing is to be less than 12”, then additional pipe should be put in
concrete to maintain proper finish grade for equipment.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Check all the parts and hardware with the packing list to be sure you have received
everything needed to assemble this product. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DISTRIBUTOR WITH
NOTIFICATION OF ANY MISSING OR DAMAGED PARTS. Contact must be made within ten days of
receipt of your order.
Only hand-tighten nuts & bolts on initial assembly. Final tightening should be done
EVENLY after final assembly when unit has been plumbed & leveled.
After assembly is complete, ANY ENDS OF BOLTS PROTRUDING BEYOND NUTS SHOULD BE CUT OFF
AND/OR PEENED OVER TO REMOVE ANY SHARP EDGES. Go over entire unit to file smooth any
sharp edges or projections that may have been caused by rough handling in shipping or
installation. T-Clamps are designed for both one and two bolt connections. In many
situations only one bolt is required. See specific assembly instructions.
On products with platforms install 1 – 2 degrees off level to facilitate water drainage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:
Check MONTHLY for loose bolts, damaged or broken parts. Tighten and/or replace
immediately.
SPECIFIC ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP #1: Mark & dig footing holes per SKETCH on PAGE #2.
STEP #2: Determine height of individual bars for intended age of users. Adjust posts
height accordingly. Posts as supplied are 8’, 9’ & 10’ long. Two feet of
pipe goes under playing surface. If lower bar heights than 6’, 7’ & 8’ are
desired, cut pipe accordingly—or dig deeper footing holes.
STEP #3: Place Pipe Posts in footing holes. Brace to desired height above intended
resilient surfacing level.
STEP #4: Attach two lower Turning Bars (503-208) first.
