Failure to perform periodic checks could cause this product to overturn or cause a fall.
The following checks should be performed at the beginning and end of each season and twice monthly during the usage period:
Reinstall any plastic parts, such as swing seats or any other items that were removed for the cold season.
Tighten all hardware.
Lubricate all metallic moving parts at the beginning of the play season and twice per month during the play season.

Check all moving parts including swing seats, ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust, or other deterioration.
Replace if any of these conditions exist.
Check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a nonlead-based paint meeting the requirements of 16 CFR 1303.
Rake and check depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate depth. Replace as necessary.
Take this product indoors or do not use when temperatures fall below 0°F/-18°C.

CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET FOR PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS

SELECT PROTECTIVE SURFACING
One 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 difierent types of surfacing to choose from; whichever product you select, follow these guidelines:

LOOSE-FILL MATERIALS

Maintain a minimum depth of 9 inches (23 cm) of loose- fll materials such as wood mulch/chips, engineered wood fiber (EWF), or shredded/recycled rubber mulch for equipment up to 8 feet (2.43 m) high; and 9 inches (23 cm) of sand or pea gravel for equipment up to 5 feet (1.52 m) high. NOTE: An initial full level of 12 inches (30 cm) will compress to about a 9- inch (23 cm) 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 (23 cm) depth.
Use a minimum of 6 inches (15 cm) of protective surfacing for play equipment less than 4 feet (1.2 m) in height. If maintained properly, this should be adequate. (At depths less than 6 inches (15 cm), the protective material is too easily displaced or compacted.)
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.
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.
Check and maintain the depth of the loose-fill surfacing material. To maintain the right amount of loose- full 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 TILE

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.

PLACEMENT

Proper placement and maintenance of protective surfacing is essential. Be sure to:
Extend surfacing at least 6’6” (2m) fromthe 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 fromwhich 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 6’6” (2m) in all directions.
