DO NOT allow pets or other animals near the equipment to prevent damage or injuries.
INSPEATION PRIOR TO EACH USE OR DAILY INSPEATION
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 metal swing set immediately,
properly store the set or restrict access by users until the condition is resolved.
Verify that the suspended climbing ropes, chain or cable are secured at both ends and tightened, so that
there is no loose ropes, chain or cable hanging that can result in choking hazard.
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 non-lead-based paint meeting the requirements of Title 16
CFR Part 1303.
Check swing seats, ropes, cables and chains monthly during usage season for deterioration.
Check all coverings for bolts and sharp edges twice monthly during usage season to be certain that they are in
place and replace when necessary. It is especially important to do this at the beginning of each new season.
Do not use when the temperature drops below 32 degrees F (0 degrees C); remove and store the plastic swing
seats and Large platform swing indoors.
IMPORTANT CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET
The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates there are about 200,000 playground related injuries involving
children each year. 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
equipment 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 surface. Playground equipment should never
be placed on hard surfaces such as 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 surface when installed and maintained at a sufficient depth under and around playground
equipment.
Table below 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”
(15.25CM), 9” (22.9CM), and 12” (30.5CM).
