(JUNGLE SWINGER)

Here are some maintenance tips required to insure safe enjoyment of your equipment for years to come.
A. At the beginning of each usage season and every two weeks during, check: nuts and bolts and tighten as needed,
swing seats, chains, ladders, slides, rope and wood components for signs of deterioration and replace if necessary.
B. On a yearly basis, we recommend that you coat your playset with a sealant or preservative. You may also want to spot
sand any areas prior to sealing. Be sure that the sealant you select is non-toxic and child safe.
C. Do not use line trimmers or “weed eaters” around your play equipment. The line will remove both stain and wood
from uprights and base pieces. Any damage resulting from this type of abuse is not covered under our limited
warranty.
D. Remove plastic swing seats and take indoors or do not use when the temperature drops below 0º F.
Welcome to our family of ready-to-build backyard play equipment. Woodplay playsets are designed with ease of
assembly in mind and we provide these step-by-step installation instructions.
After reading the information below, locate your structure site and carefully unpack parts. As you unpack your playset,
keep the parts identification sheet handy and become familiar with each part before beginning assembly. Remember that
a little extra time spent familiarizing yourself with the parts and instructions before you begin will help you avoid mistakes
and save you time later.
Choosing A Location For Your Playset
Do not install home playground equipment indoors,
or over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet
or any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface
can result in serious or fatal injury.
Responsible on-site adult supervision is one of the
most important contributions to children’s safety that
you can make. Woodplay strongly recommends on-
site adult supervision of children of all ages. Safe
swinging and climbing skills need to be taught to
children, just like any other physical activity.
The weight limit for any single user on Woodplay play
equipment is 200 pounds. Limit the number of users
to one on each swing. The tower portion of the play
system will accommodate four (4) additional users.
When the time comes to disassemble and dispose of
the play equipment, do so in such a way that no
hazards will exist at the time the equipment is
discarded.
If you have any questions about your playset, or are in need of replacement parts, call 1-800-GO-SWING.
Please keep these instructions for future reference.
Maintaining Your Playset
I N T R O D U C T I O N
When selecting your structure site, always keep the
child’s safety in mind. Here are some recommendations
to help you create a safe play area.
A. The playset should be located on level ground. The
stationary components such as ladders and slides are
REQUIRED to be a minimum of six feet from any structure
or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, tree or
overhanging branches, electrical wires or clotheslines.
Any swinging equipment is also to be a REQUIRED
minimum distance twice the height of the swing beam
away from these obstructions or structures as well. We
also recommend that you do not install your playset
near a lake, river, swimming pool or other water hazard.
B. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
recommends that you install and maintain a resilient
surface under your play equipment. The CPSC’s
Consumer Information Sheet for Playground Surfacing
Materials at the end of this manual. A resilient surface,
should be installed after the equipment has been
completely assembled according to these instructions.
The equipment must rest on solid ground. Please note
that this product has a maximum fall height of 8’.

In Addition, Adults Must:
• Not to walk close to, in front of, behind, or between
moving items.
• Not to twist the swing ropes, or loop them over the
top support bar, since this may reduce the strength
of the rope.
• Not to swing empty swing seats.
• Not to swing sideways into the path of adjacent
swings.
• Not to use the equipment in a manner other than
that for which it is intended.
• Not to get off the equipment while it is
in motion.
• Not to jump off the tower.
• Not to climb or swing when they are wet or when the
equipment is wet.
• Not to stand in the swing seats.
• Not to ride or leave bicycles or other toys in the
swing area.
• Not to use hammers, saws, nails, or wrenches on
the equipment.
• Not to swing so high that chains become slack, or
above the height of the swing support.
• Not to jump on a slide.
• Not to climb on top of the swing support.
• Not to attach to the playground equipment any item
that is not specifically designed for use with the
equipment, such as (but not limited to) jump ropes,
clotheslines, pet leashes, cables, and chains. These
may become strangulation hazards.
• To sit in the center of the swings with their full.
weight on the seats.
• To hold on to swings and climbers with.
both hands.
• To slide feet first, never head first..
• To watch for other children while swinging or playing.
near the equipment.
• Limit climbing and swinging heights to each child’s
ability.
• Verify that suspended climbing ropes are secured at
both ends.
• Verify that suspended climbing ropes cannot be
looped back on themselves.
• Dress children appropriately for play. Use well-fitting
shoes that do not have slippery soles.
Avoid ponchos, scarves, hoods, loose-fitting clothing,
neckties, and any clothing with a drawstring. Serious
injury could result should any part of the children’s
clothing become entangled in the equipment.
• Do not allow children to play wearing helmets.
• Remember that children are inventive. When they
develop games that are unsafe, be alert and change
the rules.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) estimates that about 100,000 playground
equipment-related injuries resulting from falls to the
ground surface are treated annually in the U.S.
hospital emergency rooms. Injuries involving this
hazard pattern tend to be among the most serious of
all playground injuries, and have the potential to be
fatal, particularly when the injury is to the head.
The surface under and around playground equip-
ment can be a major factor in determining the injury-
causing potential of a fall. It is self evident that a fall
onto a shock absorbing surface is less likely to
cause a serious injury than a fall onto a hard sur-
face. Playground equipment should never be placed
on hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt and
while grass may appear to be acceptable it may
quickly turn to hard packed earth in areas of high
traffic. Shredded bark mulch, wood chips, fine sand
or fine gravel are considered to be acceptable shock
absorbing surfaces when installed and maintained at
a sufficient depth under and around playground
equipment.
The following table lists the maximum height from
which a child would not be expected to sustain a life-
threatening head injury in a fall onto four different
loose-fill surfacing materials if they are installed and
maintained at depths of 6", 9", and 12". However, it
should be recognized that all injuries due to falls
cannot be prevented no matter what surfacing mate-
rial is used.
It is recommended that a shock absorbing material
should extend a minimum of 6' in all directions from
the perimeter of stationary equipment such as climb-
ers and slides. However, because children may
deliberately jump from a moving swing, the shock
absorbing material should extend in the front and
rear of a swing a minimum distance of 2 times the
height of the pivot point measured from a point
directly beneath the pivot point supporting structure.
This information is intended to assist in comparing
the relative shock-absorbing properties of various
materials. No particular material is recommended
over another. However, each material is only effec-
tive when properly maintained. Materials should be
checked periodically and replenished to maintain
correct depth as determined necessary for your
equipment. The choice of a material depends on the
type and height of the playground equipment, the
availability of the material in your area, and its cost.

Timber is a natural material which can absorb and release moisture. Although this product is designed to minimize this effect, in
certain circumstances some movement or distortion is unavoidable. During dry hot weather timber may shrink and check - this is a
normal process of weathering. After the first year of service it is advisable to clean and apply a non-toxic stain or sealant to the
wood, safe for children’s use.
Components covered under this 5 year, 15 year and limited lifetime warranty will be replaced free of charge excluding freight
and labor fees.
Non-residential use of the playset is prohibited and voids the warranty as the playsets are designed for residential use only.
