Safety Checklist for Swing-N-Slide Play Sets and Accessories
IMPORTANT!
This product is intended for single family home/residential use only and not intended for use in any public setting.
Placement in any public setting constitutes a misuseof this product.
Observing the following statesments and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury.
This playset has a weight capacity of 1200 pounds based on a maximum occupancy of eight (8).
Total weight capacity does not include accessories added after purchase.

This playset is intended for use by children from (2) to (10) years of age.
On-site adult supervision for children of all ages is recommended.
Instruct children not to walk close to, in front of, behind, or between moving items.
Instruct children not to twist swing chains or ropes or loop them over the top support bar since this may reduce the strength of
the chain or rope.
Instruct children to avoid swinging empty seats.
Teach children to sit in the center of the swings with their full weight on the seats.
Instruct children not to use the equipment in a manner other than intended.
Instruct children not to get off equipment while it is in motion.
Do not allow children to wear inappropriate items, such as but not limited to, loose fitting clothing, hood and neck drawstrings,
scarves, cord-connected items, capes and ponchos. These items can cause death by strangulation.
Instruct children not to climb when the equipment is wet. Slippery surfaces may cause a hazard.
Verify that suspended climbing ropes, chain, or cable are secured at both ends.
Verify that suspended climbing ropes, chain, or cable cannot be looped back on itself.
Instruct children not to attach items to the playground equipment that are not specifically designed for use with the equipment,
such as, but not limited to, jump ropes, clothesline, pet leashes, cables and chain as they may cause a strangulation hazard.
Instruct children to remove their bike or other sports helmet before playing on the playground equipment.
Dress children with well-fitting and full foot enclosing footwear. Examples of inappropriate footwear are clogs, flip flops, and sandals.
Instruct children to not walk or run up slides.
Instruct children to not pick up slides or ramps as this may cause damage or breakage.
Place the equipment on level ground not less than six (6) feet from any obstructions. Be sure to look overhead for any
obstructions above the playset.
Do not use the equipment until fully erected per this playset instruction manual, bolts tightened and the playset is
anchored to the ground.

PLAYSET MAINTENANCE
Cosmetic defects that do not affect the structural integrity of the product, or natural defects of wood such as warping, splitting, checking, twisting,
shrinkage, swelling or any other physical properties of wood that do not present a safety hazard, are not covered by our warranty.
To help minimize these natural defects we recommend applying a sealer or stain every two or three years, or more often as the climate dictates.
Power washing, sanding or other preparatory methods should be used prior to sealing or staining.
Periodic maintenance is required to ensure safe enjoyment of your playset and accessories. Read and follow the Playset Checklist below to reduce
the likelihood of serious or fatal injury. Use the checklists as a guide for proper playset care and maintenance.

PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS
SECTION 4 OF THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION’S OUTDOOR HOME PLAYGROUND
SAFETY HANDBOOK9
Select Protective Surfacing
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 withASTM Specification F 1292. There are different types
of surfacing to choose from; whichever product you select, follow these guidelines:
NOTE: Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, or any other hard surface.Afall 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.
0D[LPXPIDOOKHLJKWIRUWKLVSOD\VHWLVµ
Loose-Fill Materials:
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 sand or 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, and settle, and should be periodically refilled to maintain at least a 9- inch depth.
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.)
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.
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.
Do not install loose fill surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.
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.
Installations of these surfaces generally require a professional and are not “do-it-yourself” projects.
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 F 1292 Standard Specification for ImpactAttenuation 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.
Check the protective surfacing frequently for wear.
Placement
Proper placement and maintenance of protective surfacing is essential. Be sure to
Extend surfacing at least 6 feet from the equipment in all directions.
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.
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.

Introduction to the Bracket system
 ALWAYS Use 2’’ lag screws on all brackets.
2. Brackets ‘’clip’’ to each other. NEVER position in a non-
interlocking position.
NOTE: PLACE SCREWS IN BRACKETS ONLY WHERE
INSTRUCTED. DO NOT FILL EVERY HOLE IN
BRACKET. THIS WILL LEAD TO HARDWARE
SHORTAGES.
