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 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:
NOTE: All threaded ends of bolts protruding beyond nuts must be cut off and/or
peened to eliminate sharp edges. No more than two threads should extend
beyond face of nut.
All washers, “T” nuts, and other fastener hardware used on round pipe or
tubing must be hammered down to conform to the curved underlying surface to
eliminate catch points.
STEP #1: Mark & dig footing holes per SKETCH on PAGE #2.
STEP #2: Assemble frame on ground using eight ½” x ¾” Socket Set Screws
STEP #3: Stand Frame upright onto legs and brace in Footing Holes so that 24” of pipe
will be under intended level of resilient surfacing.
NOTE: When installed as shown, the distance from the bottom of the rings to
the surface will be approximately 78”. You may wish to adjust this distance
depending on the age group using the equipment. Do this by lowering or
raising the legs in the footing holes. Maximum height from surface to
bottom rings per CPSC is 84”.
STEP #4: Attach Ring & Chain Assemblies. Close S-Hooks to within .034” (1/32”) using
S-Hook pliers or Hammer.
STEP #5: Plumb and level unit. Pour concrete. Wait 48 hours before removing braces,
applying resilient surfacing and or equipment.
STEP #6: Attach Warning Label and Manufacturer’s Identification Label to a clean
surface. The labels should be attached in a location where they are clearly
visible and legibl3e and away from normal hand and foot placement areas.
The labels must be replaced if they become illegible, destroyed or removed.
Contact your distributor for replacement labels.
