ﬁll protective surfacing materials to prevent

compaction and to maintain appropriate depth.

Replace as necessary.

21. Twice a month during play season: Rake

and check depth of loose ﬁll protective

surfacing materials to prevent compaction

and to maintain appropriate depth. Replace as

necessary.

22. Once a month during play season: check that

there are no cracked parts, check tightness

of screws and bolts, no broken parts or sharp

edges and that there is no evidence of means

of deterioration.

23. At the end of each play season or when the

temperature drops below 32 °F / 0 °C: Remove

plastic parts such are tubes and connectors

and all other items related to the product and

take indoors or do not use. Rake and check

depth of loose ﬁll protective surfacing materials

to prevent compaction and to maintain

appropriate depth. Replace as necessary.

24. Disposal Instructions: Disassemble and dispose

of the playground equipment in such a way

that no unreasonable hazards will exist at the

time the playground equipment is discarded.

IDENTIFICATION OF CONFORMANCE TO

THIS STANDARD:

This product conforms to European safety

standards EN-71 parts 1,2,3 and 8 and ASTM F 1148,

Consumer Safety Performance Speciﬁcation for

Home Playground Equipment.

Keep assembly and installation instructions f or

future reference, or in the event the

manufacturer has to be contacted

By anchoring your set with ground anchors and corkscrew

anchors, you will be able to move your Lil' Monkey Climb

N Slide Everest at a future date. Either method is suitable

for hard soil (clay, etc.). If your soil is soft (sand etc.),

the corkscrew method is recommended. If you wish to

permanently secure your your Lil' Monkey Climb N Slide

Everest, either type of anchor may be set in concrete.

Ensure equipment is ﬁrmly anchored (cementing is

ususally recommended). When equipment is cemented,

do not bury the legs more than one inch below the ground

surface. This will ensure sucient space remains under

the swinging plays. Be certain that all anchoring devices

(including concrete) are placed below the level of playing

surface or below ground level to prevent tripping. This

equipment does not include legs or swinging elements.

26. Note: Ground Anchors and Corkscrew anchors

are not included.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety

Commission(CPSC) estimates that about 100,000

playground equipment related injuries resulting

from falls to the ground surface are treated

annually in U.S. hospital emergency rooms. Injuries

involving this hazard pattern tend to be among the

most serious of all playground injuries, and have

the potential to be fatal, particularly when the

injury is to the head. The surface under around the

playground equipment can be a major factor and

in determining the injury causing potential of a fall.

It is self evident that a fall onto a shock-absorbing

surface is less likely to cause a serious injury than

a fall onto a hard surface. Playground equipment

should never be placed on a hard surface such as

concrete or asphalt and while grass may appear to

be acceptable it may quickly turn to hard packed

earth in areas of high trac. Shredded bark mulch,

wood chips, ﬁne sand or ﬁne gravel are considered

to be acceptable shock absorbing surfaces when

installed and maintained at a sucient depth

under and around playground equipment.

The following table lists the maximum height

from which a child would not be expected to

sustain a life-threatening head injury in a fall

onto four different loose-fill surfacing materials

if they are installed and maintained at depths of

6, 9, and 12 in. However, all injuries due to a fall

cannot be prevented no matter what surfacing

material is used.

It is recommended that a shock-absorbing material

should extend a minimum of 6 ft. in all directions

from the perimeter of stationary equipment such as

climbers and slides. However, because children may

deliberately jump from a moving swing, the shock-

absorbing material should extend in the front and rear

of a swing a minimum distance of 2 times the height

of the pivot point measured from a point directly

beneath the pivot point on the supporting structure.

This information is intended to assist in comparing

the relative shock-absorbing properties of various

materials. No particular material is recommended

over another. However, each material is only

eective when properly maintained.

Materials should be checked periodically and

eplenished to maintain correct depth as determined

necessary for your equipment. The choice of a

material depends on the type and height of the

playground equipment, the availability of the

material in your area and its cost.

Note: The minimum ground clearance between the

bottom of the suspended plays and the playing or

ground surface must be 8 inches.

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 dierent types of

surfacing to choose from; whichever product you

select, follow these guidelines:

1. Loose-Fill Materials: Maintain a minimum depth

of 9 inches of looseﬁll materials such as wood

mulch/chips, engineered wood ﬁber (EWF), or

shredded/recycled rubber mulch for equipment

up to 8 feet high; and 9 inches of sand or pea

gravel for equipment up to 5 feet high. NOTE:
