EXCAVATION AND FOOTING INFORMATION
Remember, the excavation depths detailed in the drawings on the
following page are based on the top of the planned safety
surfacing and may not necessarily be at the same height of the
current surface.
The actual width required for installing the merry go round and
retaining ring is only about 10’, but we recommend a width of 12’
for ease of installation. 12’ really allows you to get under the
platform to install the braces and the platform itself.
The deep hole in the center that is 3’ in diameter and about 5’
deep is for the merry go round post. It installs the same as a
standard post, but as this unit is flush mount, the depth of that hole
from the surface is greater.
Once the excavation has been completed you can install the post
and drainage.
1.
Post depth is 5’ from the top of the planned finished height
of the safety surfacing, the main excavation is 12’ wide
down to 2’, the remaining width for the post is 3’ at the
center. 10” of blocking material is planned at the bottom
for the post to sit on.
IMPORTANT
DRAINAGE
A drainage system is recommended for underneath the accessible
merry go round. The area underneath the merry go round platform is
recessed into the ground and may not drain naturally. Drainage
should be installed below the excavated area.
NOTE
Access panels in the merry go round platform are installed for
assembly/maintenance.

ANY OTHER SAFETY SURFACING WILL VOID
THE MANUFACTURERS WARANTY AND COULD
CAUSE AN INJURY.
§Apply Loctite to all bolts during assembly prior to
completely tightening them.
§Do not use impact gun as Stainless Steel hardware can
occasionally be difficult to use particularly if you need to
take them out to make an adjustment. It is recommended
that you add a drop of oil to bolts that may have to be
removed before you install them.
§Do not tighten bolts all the way until the unit is completely
assembled and all components are square and level.
§Identify and separate all parts by referencing the detail
drawings and the parts list.
§As you unpack and separate the components, use the
cardboard sheets that were used for packing and shipping
to prevent damage to the components. This is particularly
true all Powder Coated and Thermoplastic coated
components, by setting the components on top of the
cardboard.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
INSTALLATION STEPS
__1. Once the desired location has been determined while keeping a
20’ diameter use zone in mind, dig a 12’ diameter hole to a depth of
24" and at the center of that hole dig an additional 3’ (or 5’ from the
top of the safety surfacing height) hole for the footing. (SEE
IMAGES ON PREVIOUS PAGE)
__2. After all loose material is removed from the hole for the post,
add 10” of dry concrete and blocking material to the bottom of the
hole to support the post. Place the post assembly (3) with the bearing
pocket facing up and out of the hole. Plumb and level post – NOTE:
Post must be perfectly level in all directions before adding
concrete for safety and durability of product.
__3 Add concrete to hole, crown the top of the concrete down and
away from the post to help prevent water build up around the post.
Periodically check the post to ensure it is level while concrete is
curing. Brace the post into position if necessary. Before installing
remaining MGR components, wait till concrete is completely cured
based on supplier’s instructions.
__4 While waiting on concrete to cure, install drainage system in
between the post and where the perimeter ring will be installed,
below the excavated area. Installer or owner needs to design the
drainage system
__5. After concrete has cured, place the Ball Bearing (7) into the
pocket on the post and coat the bearing with general purpose grease.
Next slide the Hub assembly (5) onto the post. (Refer to detail A)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
__6. Attach the MGR support arms (6) to the hub assembly
(5) by sliding the arm over the tabs on the hub (do not attach
to the side of the tabs) and secure using 1 1/2” bolts, 3/8
washers and 3/8” nuts. (See Detail D – Previous Page)
__7. When installing the deck sections (1) make sure NOT to
place tab on support arm (6) in between the deck sections, tab
should fit on the inside of the flanged side of the deck. Also,
completely install all deck sections and level decks to the
perimeter ring before tightening the bolts completely. There
are two different types of decks with this unit, when laying
them out and assembling the unit be sure to alternate from
one to the other so that the same decks are placed diagonally.
When tightening the bolts move around the entire unit and
tighten them evenly to ensure the deck sections are properly
aligned and to ensure there are no gaps between the deck
sections. Connect the support arm (6) to the deck sections as
well as the deck sections to each other using 1 1/4” bolts (12),
3/8 washers and 3/8 nuts. (Refer to Detail C for connecting
the support arms to the decks and Detail G for connecting the
deck sections)
USING THE IMAGES TO THE RIGHT, ENSURE THE
EDGES OF EACH DECK ARE FLUSH TO THE NEXT
DECK TO PREVENT SERIOUS INUJURY
__8. Attach the Hub Disk (4) to the deck sections (1) and the
Hub Assembly (5) by placing hub disk on top of the decks
over the hub assembly and attach by inserting the 4” carriage
bolts down through the decks and hub assembly. Secure from
the bottom of the hub assembly with 1/2” washers and 1/2”
lock nut. (See Detail E)
