Safety and Maintenance Tips for Your New Play Set: 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.
Safety and Maintenance Tips for Your New Play Set: (continued) Playgrounds should be inspected on a regular basis. If any of the following conditions are noted, they should be removed, corrected, or repaired immediately to prevent injuries. • Hardware that is loose, worn or that has protrusions or projections. • Exposed equipment footings. • Scattered debris, litter, rocks, or tree roots. • Splinters, large cracks, and decayed wood components.
PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS SECTION 4 OF THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION’S OUTDOOR HOME PLAYGROUND SAFETY HANDBOOK9 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.
Play Set Surfacing Recommendations: Below are some of the recommendations that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) offers from its Handbook for Public Playground Safety. The guide can be downloaded in full at www.cpsc.gov/PageFiles/122149/325.pdf 1. Protective Surfacing - Since almost 60% of all injuries are caused by falls to the ground, protective surfacing under and around all playground equipment is the most critical safety factor on playgrounds.
2. Fall Zones - A fall zone, covered with a protective surfacing material, is essential under and around equipment where a child might fall. This area should be free of other equipment and obstacles onto which a child might fall. Stationary climbing equipment and slides should have a fall zone extending a Minimum of 6’ in all directions from the perimeter of the equipment. Swings should have a fall zone extending a minimum of 6’ from the outer edge of the support structure on each side.
General Info to Review Before Installation • Depending on your experience, assembly of the playset can take as little as 6 hours up to 24 hours, depending on size, after inventory of parts; therefore, we recommend you set aside a full two days for assembly. • Identify all of the parts for your play set. 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.
This page is a list of definitions and explanations used throughout our instructions to aid you in the assembly of your play set. Offset Holes- Throughout the installation procedures we will refer to parts with offset holes. This refers to the orientation of the holes on the board. An offset hole is one that is closer to one side than it is the other or in other words, it is not centered on the board.
Common Installation Practice Installing T-nuts When installing T-nuts into the wood, use a smooth faced hammer to set the face of the T-nut flush into the wood. Corner Post T-nut This picture shows the T-nut inserted and installed flush to the wood. Flush (Correct) Insert the barrel of the T-nut into the predrilled hole. Using a smooth faced hammer, drive the T-nut until the face of the T-nut is flush to the wood. This picture shows an end view of the T-nut installed flush to the wood.
HOW A T-NUT WORKS THE FIRST STEP IN OUR ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS IS TO INSERT T-NUTS INTO THE CORNER POSTS. A T-NUT IS A FASTENER WHICH IS THREADED ON THE INSIDE AND IT FUNCTIONS JUST LIKE A STANDARD HEX NUT. YOU INSERT THE T-NUTS INTO THE PREDRILLED HOLES IN THE CORNER POSTS. THE T-NUT HAS A BARREL SHAPED END WHICH GOES INTO THE HOLE IN THE CORNER POST. THE T-NUT ALSO HAS AN FLANGE SHAPED END WITH TEETH.
BOARD IDENTIFICATION 1. On the end of each board there should be a small white tag that is stapled or stuck into place. Remove the staples and/or tag after the board is installed. 2. This white identifcation tag displays the thickness, width, length and an abbreviated description of the part. Example: a tag reads "2-4-3600-BPB" • The 2 is the thickness of the board. "Nominal Lumber" at a home center will measure 11/2" for the thickness. We "remill" that lumber to 1-3/8" thick.
PRE-DRILL LAG SCREW DIRECTIONS Pre-drilling holes for lag screws will make it easier to drive the screws in by hand. "Jobber" length drill bits are available in sizes that are longer than standard drill bits and those are ideal for the job. When using the drill bit you will have to "spot" drill the post and then remove the board you are attaching to finish drilling the hole. Pay attention to the DIAMETER of the lag screw you are installing. Your playset may come with two different diameter lag screws.
SWING BEAM LOADING Weight Limits for Accessories: The weight limit for a Swing Belt is 225 lbs. (Although 150lbs is the maximum recommended swinging weight capacity for the swing position.) The weight limit for a Trapeze Bar is 125 lbs. Maximum Allowable swinging weight for a three position swing: 1) The maximum allowable swinging weight at each Swing Belt position is 150 lbs. 2) The maximum allowable swinging weight at the Trapeze position is 125 lbs. 3) The MAXIMUM SWING BEAM LOAD IS 425 lbs.
