Dear Customer: Thank you for purchasing a Creative Cedar Designs Playcenter. We hope it will bring you and your children many years of safe and enjoyable fun. Creative Cedar Designs equipment is recommended for use by children 3 to 10 years of age. Creative Cedar Designs structures are not intended for public use. Creative Cedar Designs does not warranty any of its residential structures subjected to commercial use.
The instructions and owner’s manual for your new Playcenter should be read in its entirety before assembly, to minimize problems and safety issues. We recommend reading the owner’s manual thoroughly after you have identified all of the parts for your Playcenter as discussed in the Helpful Installations Hints section below. Positioning Your Play center 1. The Playcenter is designed to be installed on a level surface by an Adult with an Adult helper.
Helpful Installation Hints 1. Depending on your experience, assembly of this Play set should take approximately 6 to 12 hours after inventory of parts. Therefore, we recommend you set aside a full day for assembly. 2. Identify all of the parts for your Playcenter. Empty each box and lay out boards so you can see each part. Your instruction book will have detailed drawings that will make it easy for you to recognize individual parts. Keep all hardware and metal parts separate from wooden pieces. 3.
Suggested Playground Surfacing Playground equipment should never be placed on hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt. Do not install loose fill surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt. Shredded bark mulch, wood chips, fine sand and fine gravel, are added as shock absorbing materials after assembly. If used properly these materials can absorb some of the impact of a child’s fall. All surface material should extend a minimum of 6 feet in all directions around the play area.
Operating Instructions: NOTE: Your children’s safety is our #1 concern. Observing the following statements and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury. Please review these safety rules regularly with your children. 1. This Playcenter is designed for the use of 6 occupants, who have a combined weight not exceeding 420 pounds, 4 occupants on the swing area, who have a combinedweight of 350 pounds , for a total unit cpacity of 10 occupants who who have a combined total weight of 770 pounds.
Maintenance Instructions: 1. Check all nuts and bolts twice monthly during the usage season and tighten as required. (But not so tight that you crack the wood) We recommend you check the swing beam and hardware every two weeks due to wood expansion and contraction. It is particularly important that this procedure be followed at the beginning of each season. 2. Remove plastic swing seats and take indoors or do not use when the temperature drops below 32 F. 3.
APPENDIX A Information on Playground Surfacing Materials: The following information is from the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Information Sheet for playground surfacing material Also see the following website for additional information: https://www.cpsc.gov/PageFiles/122146/324.
