Installation Instructions
1. Check using the parts list that all components have been delivered.
2. Plan the final position of the play equipment, ensuring there is sufficient space
NB: Please consider the extent and HIC of surfacing (see surfacing plan).
Stainless steel slides should face north or be shaded to prevent over heating.
3. Excavate the foundation holes in accordance with the plan and play level,
ensuring holes are dug to an equal level relative to each other.
4. Sort and identify parts before assembly.
5. Bolt the pedestals (PED302) to the end of the slide assembly (THS102), and
position 2 spragging irons (MSL002) into the holes provided at the bottom of
the pedestals. Hook this slide assembly on to the top cross-bars of one of the
main frames (THF001) and stand these in their respective foundation holes.
6. Sit the ramp frame (THF121) into the foundation holes and bolt the ramp side
panels (THA049 and THP056) to the frame.
7. The second main frame (THF001) can be sat into it's foundations and the
ramp assembly hooked onto it.
8. Sit the Hexaboard plywood deck (THD001) between the two main frameworks
and ensure at this point that all metal framework is assembled together.
9. Assemble the panels onto the posts using the supplied brackets (PZA700 and
PZA705), using the images supplied as a reference for layering. See page 7
for details of panel assembly.
NB: Use the panel fixing general sheet supplied to select the correct bolts from
the fixing kit (be advised that a few surplus fixings are generally included).
We suggest fixing countersunk bolts first as on occasion another panel may
be layered on top of them. It is important not to fully tighten the fixings until all
panels have been assembled and the unit is stood within the foundation holes.

10. The ring climber (THF140GRY) and the step climber (THF145GRY) can now
be positioned in their foundation holes and bolted to their respective panels
(ring climber to tree trunks, step climber to cloud). THP060 panels can now
be bolted to the plates of the step climber. THF140GRY needs two steel irons
found in the fixing kit feeding through the holes in the end, prior to concreting.
11. Tighten all fixings when the unit has been fully assembled, sat into the
foundation holes (before concrete is poured) and the unit it completely level
and in the correct position.
12. Ensure all exposed hex-head bolts are capped off using the step washers
and nylon caps provided (refer to panel fixing general sheet supplied).
13. Check the unit will sit at the correct level (700mm below play level) and
position as per the elevations and plans provided before now filling the
foundation holes to the required depth with concrete. Float off upper surface to
enable run-off away from frame posts.
14. The unit should be secured against use by any member of the public until the
concrete is set and the appropriate depth and extent of surfacing has been
installed (please refer to surfacing plan).
15. Follow the maintenance instructions supplied at the end of this document.
NB: During installation, care must be taken to prevent hazards to children.
If you are at all unsure or have any questions, please contact the contracts
department immediately for their assistance and advice.
