ASSEMBLY SAFETY and HELPFUL HINTS

Wear safety glasses during drilling, assembly of your playset.

Children should not be allowed in the playset assembly and build area.

Note the hole orientation on parts to avoid having to take parts apart later.

Some steps require the assistance of two people to ensure proper assembly, safety during assembly, as well as preventing any damage to the playset.

All hex bolts and lag bolts require a lock washer or lock nut.

To properly install lock nuts, two to three threads must protrude past the lock nut and be exposed once tightened.

Due to wood characteristics and the manufacturing process hex bolts may protrude past a surface. If this condition occurs add additional supplied washers to eliminate bolt protrusion.

To aid in proper assembly pound T-nuts into their respective hole prior to assembly

Pound in T-nuts while the part is on the ground to ensure proper seating.

Use a soft material under parts when pounding in T-nuts to ensure no scratching or de-facing of parts.

Make sure all fasteners used are as specified. Using a fastener not specified in a particular application may result in too much thread exposure or not enough thread engagement.

MAINTENANCE

Activity on your playset and optional accessories may loosen fasteners. Check all lock nuts, hex and lag bolts, quick clips, spring clips, acorn nuts, wood screws, and swing hangers for tightness and tighten as required. T-nuts should be inspected for full and proper seating into the wood.

Checking, splitting and surface cracking are characteristics of all wooden playsets. This is caused by varying seasonal temperatures and moisture conditions. To minimize this checking and/or cracking you may coat your playset with a water repellent.

Tighten all hardware.

Lubricate all metallic moving parts per manufacturer’s instructions.

Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are loose, cracked, or missing. Check all moving parts including swing seats, ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace as needed.

Check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a nonleaded-based paint meeting the requirements of 16 CFR 1303.

Check all wood members for deterioration and splinters. Sand down splinters and replace deteriorating wood members.

Reinstall any plastic parts, such as swing seats or any other items that were removed for the cold season.

Rake and check depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate depth. Replace as necessary. Tighten all hardware. Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are loose, cracked, or missing. Rake and check depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate depth. Replace as necessary. Lubricate all metallic moving parts per manufacturer’s instructions. Check all moving parts including swing seats, ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace as needed. At the end of each play season or when the temperature drops below 10°F remove plastic swing seats, tents, sandbox cover, tire swing, slide and other items as specified by the manufacturer and take indoors or do not use. Rake and check depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate depth.Replace as necessary. When you are ready to dispose of your playset, make sure that all metal, plastic and wood components are disposed of in accordance with local waste ordinances. Buyer and/or owner should disassemble and dispose of the playground equipment in such a way that no unreasonable hazards will exist at the time the swing set is discarded. Do not burn your playset's preserved wood.

Periodic maintenance is required to ensure safe enjoyment of your playset and optional accessories.

Observing the following procedures reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury.

PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALSSECTION 4 OF THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION’S OUTDOOR HOME PLAYGROUND SAFETY HANDBOOK9

Select Protective SurfacingOne 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 with ASTM 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. A fall 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.

Maximum fall height for this playset is 82”. 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. U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington, D.C., 20207 or call the toll-free hotline :1-800-638-2772 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 Impact Attenuation 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.

PlacementProper 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.

IMPORTANT!

A A B B

Use these Assembly Procedure Hints throughout the installation process.

1. All Lag Bolts must have pre-drilled holes. Use a 1/4" drill bit for all 3/8" Lag Bolts. Use a 3/16" drill bit for all 5/16" Lag Bolts. Pre-drilling pilot holes will help prevent Screws and Lag Bolts from breaking and wood from splitting during assembly.

2. In areas where drilling a larger 7/16" hole is neccessary, such as when installing T-Nuts, (Fig. 1) the recommended procedure is to first drill-through a 3/16" pilot hole from the Hex Bolt side and then drill the larger 7/16" hole from the opposite T-Nut side. This will help avoid splintering the wood. The “Drill Both Sides ICON” (Fig. 1) will remind you to drill according to this procedure. Be sure to clean through-holes of debris before inserting Hex Bolts.

3. When assembling parts that are difficult to hold in position while pre-drilling pilot holes or assembling, use a clamp to keep parts aligned or in position. The “Clamp ICON” (Fig. 2) will advise you to use this procedure.
