instruction pages. 

 

Always compare the number of pallets, cartons or other items the BOL 
has listed with the number actually received.  Note the any discrepancies 
on the BOL. 

 

Also note any obvious damage to the packing materials, pallets or

environment away from heat, moisture and sunlight.  SportsPlay

The use/fall zone should extend to the front & rear a minimum distance 

 

of twice the height of the top rail above the resilient surfacing material. 

 

The use/fall zone to the sides should follow the general recommendation 

 

of the six feet minimum. This six foot zone may overlap that of an 

 

adjacent swing structure. 

 

MULTI AXIS SWINGS: 

 

The use/fall zone should extend in all directions the length of the swing 

 

plus six feet. The six foot minimum fall zone from the supporting
