Windy conditions: it is possible for the product to be blown about by a high wind. If you anticipate

DO NOT install your play set over hard surface, e.g. asphalt, concrete, packed earth, tile or brick floor.
A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury or death to the user. The following is a list of
recommended ground covers from the Consumer Product Safety Commission:
SUGGESTED MATERIAL UNCOMPRESSED DEPTH
Double Shredded Bark Mulch 9”
Uniform Wood Chips 12”
Fine Gravel 12”
Fine Sand 12”
The Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Outdoor Home Playground Safety Handbook recommends to
install and maintain the playground equipment over at least 9 inches of wood chips, mulch or shredded
rubber (for equipment up to 8 feet high) or sand or pea gravel (for equipment no more than 5 feet high) as
shock absorbing material. Dirt and grass, which are the most prevalent surfaces under home playground
equipment, do not adequately protect children from serious head injuries. Install protective surfacing at least
six feet in all directions from play equipment. For swings, the surface should extend, in back and front, twice
the height of the suspending bar. You should consult a local contractor about ways to secure the product in
your location. Do not install your play set over hard surface, e.g. asphalt, concrete, packed earth, tile or brick
floor. Please refer to the CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION’S OUTDOOR HOME
PLAYGROUND SAFETY HANDBOOK for detailed guidelines to prevent injuries from falls and other hazards
on public and home playgrounds.
WARNINGS ON ANCHORING
This product must be anchored into the ground to prevent movement and to make the swing set more stable
during use.
Some consumers want an anchoring system that allows the product to be moved to different locations. Other
consumers want to keep their swing set in a permanent location.
It is highly recommended that you seek the opinion from a local licensed contractor on the best way to secure the
swing set in your location. The best way to anchor a product is to create a concrete footing and use that as a base
for an anchor. Whatever method you prefer for your location, an anchoring system for this product should be used
at all times.
WEATHER CONDITIONS
DO NOT use this equipment if the swing seat, slide or any parts are wet. Use the play set only when the
parts are clean and dry. If the equipment is wet, the user could slip and suffer injuries.
Please be aware of weather conditions when using the equipment. If it is too windy, users could lose
control and suffer injuries. The playground equipment must be properly anchored, stored away or
restricted from use during inclement weather such as heavy winds or severe weather storms. You
should consult a local contractor about ways to anchor the product in your location.

PLAY SUPERVISION
DO NOT allow more than one child to play on the individual swing or slide component at any one time.
DO NOT allow children to stand on the slide, swing seats, trapeze, seesaw, rocky rider, disc swing or glide
ride. The glide ride and seesaw are made for only two users at a time. The disc swing & rocky rider are

and holding on to the swing chains.
DO NOT allow children to jump off the equipment while it is in motion. ALWAYS come to a full stop before
dismounting.
ALWAYS dress children appropriately for proper play, e.g. wear well-fitted rubber sole shoes, and remove
loose or sharp items such as jewelry, hair accessories, scarves which may become entangled in the
equipment or cause injuries.
ALWAYS make sure children remove their bike or other sports helmets before playing on the playground.
DO NOT allow children to slide down the slide head first.
DO NOT allow children to climb onto swing or jump to/from different play areas of the equipment.
ALWAYS return safely to the ground before approaching another play area.
DO NOT allow children to climb on structural parts (e.g. legs, top bar). These are structural components

ALWAYS check the slide or other parts exposed to the body for extreme heat from the sun before allowing
children to use the equipment.
ALWAYS prevent access and secure from any unauthorized use when there is no adult supervision.
DO NOT allow pets or other animals near the equipment to prevent damage or injuries.

INSPECTION PRIOR TO EACH USE OR DAILY INSPECTION
DO NOT use the equipment if any bolts or nuts are missing or loose. ALWAYS check to ensure the
equipment and all parts are well secured and stable before each use.
ALWAYS clear the play area of any rocks, sharp objects, or any materials that could be potentially
hazardous to users.
DO NOT attach items to the equipment that are not specifically designed for use with the equipment,
including, but not limited to, jump ropes, clothesline, pet leashes, cables and chains as they may cause
choke hazards.
The steel and plastic parts used in your product are subject to normal wear. Gradual deterioration of the
material will occur, the speed of which will depend on the level of exposure to UV rays, airborne pollution,
outdoor weather conditions such as rain and wind and the amount of use. You must inspect the equipment
prior to every use. This includes, but is not limited to inspecting the set for cracks, excess wear, missing
parts, loose connections and for overall integrity. When the set shows any signs of weakness, you must
stop using the play set immediately, properly store the set or restrict access by users until the condition is
resolved.
Verify that the chains are secured at both ends and tightened, so that there is no loose chain hanging
that can result in choking hazard.
When conducting inspections, it is recommended that you use the Suggested General Maintenance
Checklist and Routine Inspection and Maintenance Issues checklists provided by the US Consumer Product
Safety Commission, a copy of which is contained in this user manual.
CARE & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Inspect all nuts and bolts twice monthly during the usage season for tightness and tighten as required. It is
particularly important that this procedure is followed at the beginning of each season.
Oil all metallic moving parts monthly during the usage period.
Sand rusted areas on metal tubing and repaint using a nonlead-based paint meeting the requirements of

equipment in your location.
The following anchoring options may be considered:
Corkscrew Anchoring (Corkscrew Anchors not included)
If your soil is hard (clay, etc.), the corkscrew method may be suitable.
Be sure that the swing set is located on level ground.
Twist the corkscrew anchor into the ground until only the end with the hook is above the ground
and next to the leg. Insert the hook into the bottom opening of the leg.
Ensure that the hook is secured onto the leg opening.
Concrete Anchoring (Materials not included)
●If the swing set is set up on grounds with sandy soil (soft) condition, it must be anchored
with concrete footing (concrete not included)
●Be sure that the swing set is assembled and placed on level ground
●Dig holes around swing leg tube, as shown in drawing in the next page. As you dig deeper,
enlarge the diameter of the hole to fix the cement
●Place 2 inches of brick or gravel underneath the leg, as shown in drawing in the next page
●Use about 45 lbs. of concrete per leg
●Cover the concrete with dirt and protective surface material
●Allow 6-7 days for the concrete to dry properly
