Warnings and Safe Play Instructions CONTINUOUS ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED. Most serious injuries and deaths on playground equipment have occurred while children were unsupervised! Our products are designed to meet mandatory and voluntary safety standards. Complying with all warnings and recommendations in these instructions will reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury to children using this play system.
Protective Surfacing - Reducing Risk of Serious Head Injury From Falls. 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 F1292.
Instructions for Proper Maintenance Your Cedar Summit Play System is designed and constructed of quality materials with your child’s safety in mind. As with all outdoor products used by children, it will weather and wear. To maximize the enjoyment, safety and life of your Play Set, it is important that you, the owner, properly maintain it. Check the following at the beginning of the play season: HARDWARE: Check metal parts for rust.
About Our Wood Cedar Summit Premium Play Systems uses 100% FSC wood. Although we take great care in selecting the best quality lumber available, wood is still a product of nature and susceptible to weathering which can change the appearance of your set. What causes weathering? Does it affect the strength of my Play System? One of the main reasons for weathering is the effects of water (moisture); the moisture content of the wood at the surface is different than the interior of the wood.
