General safety instructions

• The safe play area refers to a zone extending 200 cm beyond the play set on all sides. The safe play zone in front of and behind a swinging accessory is 200 cm.

Safe play

• On site adult supervision must be provided for children of all ages and at all times.
• Teach the children to play safe.
• Dress children appropriately. Avoid accessories, clothing with drawstrings, loose fitting clothes and stringed items placed around the neck, which could become entangled or snagged on equipment. Also bike helmets should be taken off before playing on playground equipment.
• Last but not at least: use common sense to avoid any possible unsafe situations.
• Equipment should not be played upon in wet weather conditions because of potentially slippery surfaces and in periods of frost, even the softest pavement can change into a very hard surface.
• Accessories should be removed and taken indoors when temperatures drop below 0°C
• Using the playground or the accessories in any other manner than the way intended could lead to damage or injury. Do not twist or wrap swings, chains ropes or any other accessories. Twisting will reduce the strength of the accessories and may cause entrapment.
