(see Fig. 1).
Once all (11) bolts, (22) fl at washers and (11) lock-nuts
are in place go back and tighten all hardware with
appropriate tools.
IMPORTANT: Tighten securely so backing plates
and slide sections are tight against each other AND
there are a minimum of one to two threads extending

ASSEMBLY STEPS
1. Consult (Fig. 3) for proper placement of slide on your unit. Make certain no objects lie within the grayed out area, or ‘Use Zone.’ Position slide to determine
proper location for stake. IMPORTANT: Place the slide on level ground, not less than six feet from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house,
overhanging branch, laundry line or electric wire. Protective surfacing must extend a minimum of 6ft. in all directions from the perimeter of the equipment or from
the outermost edges of any component. A slide extending beyond the platform must have protective surfacing at least 6ft. out from both sides as well as the
end. An area of 21” on either side of the slide should be free of obstructions which a child’s arm could contact.
2. Drive wood stake (not included) into ground leaving 2” exposed (Fig. 4).
3. Using an 1/8” drill bit, drill (2) holes through the side of the slide. Secure the slide bottom to the stake using (2) 1-1/4” deck screws (Fig. 4).
4. Attach slide to unit as shown in (Fig. 5).
Important: Slide has four dimples. Use one screw at each dimple. Avoid locating dimples over any gaps in the playset deck.
Check for screws protruding underneath the deck.
If screws protrude, add a wooden slide block (not included) underneath the deck to cover screw ends. See Fig. 6 for an example slide block.

Made sure all hardware is tightened securely? (Supplied bolt covers must also be fastened securely.)
Using a hacksaw, cut off all protruding threaded ends of bolts and other fasteners and remove any sharp edges with a metal fi le as needed, and coated fastener ends with lead free paint?
Placed the equipment on level ground, not less than six feet (1.8 meters) from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical wires?
Made sure home playground equipment is not installed over concrete, asphalt, packed earth or any other hard surface? (A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to the equipment user.)
Verifi ed that suspended climbing ropes, chain, or cable are securely anchored at both ends and cannot be looped back upon itself?
Consulted in assembly instructions of your particular model for minimum use zones?
Used a water sealant on your play set to protect the wood and prevent cracking and warping?
Followed all anchoring and shock absorbing surfacing requirements below as they apply?
Made sure not to allow children to use equipment until it is properly installed?
Made sure to adjust all swings so there is a minimum 8’’ clearance between the swing and the ground surface?
Operating Safety – Have You:
Determined that on-site adult supervision is provided for children of all ages?
Warned children of the following before allowing them to use the equipment?
Not to walk close to, in front of, behind or between moving items.
Not to twist swing or any other accessory chains or ropes or loop them over the top support bar since this will reduce the strength of chain or rope.
Not to swing empty seats or other accessories.
Not to slide down swing chains.

entangled or snagged on equipment.
Determined that suspended climbing ropes, chain, or cable are securely anchored at both ends and cannot be looped back upon itself.
Made certain the slide is placed so that is is not in direct sunlight.
Safety Maintenance – Follow these preventive maintenance instructions at the intervals required:
To prevent the deterioration of materials, remove plastic swing seats and other plastic accessories when outdoor temperature dips down to or below 32° F and take indoors. Reinstall these plastic
elements at the beginning of each play season.
At the beginning of each play season check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a non lead-based paint meeting the requirements of 16 CFR 1303 or SOR/2005-109.
At the beginning of each play season and once a month during each play season, check all moving parts for wear, rust or other deterioration. Replace as needed. If any of these conditions exist, call
1-800-882-0272 to order replacement accessories.
At the beginning of each play season and once a month during each play season lubricate metallic moving parts.
At the beginning of each play season and twice a month during each play season, check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are loose, cracked, or missing.
At the beginning of each play season and twice a month during each play season, rake and check depth of loose fi ll protective surfacing material to prevent compaction and maintain appropriate
depth. Replace as necessary.
At the beginning of each play season and twice a month during each play season tighten all hardware.
At the beginning of each play season and twice a month during each play season, check all wood members for deterioration and splinters.
Sand down splinters and replace deteriorating wood members.
Disposal Instructions
When the equipment is taken out of service, it must be disassembled and disposed of in such a way that no unreasonable hazards will exist at the time the set is discarded.
Save this instruction sheet in the event the manufacturer needs to be contacted.
This product is intended for single family home/residential use only and not intended for use in any public setting. Placement in public settings constitutes misuse of this product.
IMPORTANT! ADDITIONAL REQUIRED SAFETY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
According to ASTM requirements, all kits must be anchored to the ground and, if the unit has a climbing rope, the rope end must be anchored. If soil conditions permit stakes to be pulled out easily, cementing into
ground is necessary.
To anchor the unit to the ground, Follow the instructions included in this plan for applying Anchor-It devices to your unit, or use 2” x 4” x 18” (45mm x 95mm x 457mm) pressure-
treated stakes. Pound stakes into ground at least 12” (305mm) at all inside corners of the posts (including A-frame legs and climbing unit posts). Attach with four (4) 3-1/2” screws
(approved for treated wood) per stake into each tower and/or A-frame upright.
If the unit has a climbing rope, securely anchor the rope at both ends.
Once the unit is completely assembled and before children are allowed to play on it, proper shock-absorbing surfacing material must be installed. This may be accomplished by
using loose-fi ll materials at a suffi cient depth. The Consumer Product Safety Commission “Handbook for Public Playground Safety” lists the following materials and required depths
that are suffi cient for home/residential application. Supplemental information may be found in ASTM F1292. For fall height protection up to 9 ft. (2.742m) (recommended for all kits):
LOOSE FILL MATERIAL REQUIRED (UNCOMPRESSED) DEPTH1in. (mm)
Wood Mulch 9” (229mm)
Double Shredded Bark Mulch 9” (229mm)
Uniform Wood Chips 12” (305mm)
When properly installed, shock absorbing material will completely cover the horizontal baseboards on climbing units. This protective surfacing must extend a minimum of 6 ft. (1.828m) in all directions from the
perimeter of the equipment or from the outermost edges of any component. For example, a slide extending beyond the platform must have protective surfacing at least 6 ft. (1.828mm) out from both sides as well
as the end. For swings, the protective surface must extend at least 14 ft. (6m) out from both the back and front of the swing when the swing is in its rest position.
1These depths were derived from the CPSC Handbook. has not done independent tests to determine these required depths.
