ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 30 — Swing Beam & Swings:
Install the Swing Beam as instructed by the assembly
guide included with the Beam. The nameplate is includ-
ed in box one of this tower.
Hang the Swings and Ring Trapeze in the posi-
tions shown below. U.S. safety standards require a
minimum clearance of 8" from the bottom of each
Swing Accessory to the ground. U.K. (& E.U.)
safety standards require a minimum clearance of
350mm (13-3/4") between the bottom of each
Swing Accessory and the ground.
The height of each Swing Accessory is ad-
justed by using a different link in the chain.
Be sure to hang the Swings Accessories
with ground clearance greater than or
equal to the safety standard for your
region.
STEP 29 — Slide:
Place your Slide in the opening in the tower front as shown.
Pull it tight to the platform until it stops against the Platform.
Check that the Slide extends out perpendicular from the play
set.
Using the holes in the slide for guides, drill two 5/16" diam-
eter holes through the Platform Boards and secure the Slide
using two 1/4" x 1" Truss Head Bolts from the top and 1/4"
Weld Nuts from below.
Note: Depending on the Slide, you may nd that the holes
you drill encounter a framing member. If so, stop drilling after
piercing the Deck Board. Loosen the Deck Board and insert
the Weld Nuts from the underside. If desired, a 1" spade drill
bit can be used to clear a space for the base of the Weld Nut
in the Framing Member. Re-attach the Platform Board and
continue securing the Slide.
STEP 31 — Ground Stakes:
Hammer two Ground Stakes next to the Front Left Post and Back Right Post as shown.
The top of the Ground Stake should be minimum of 1/8" below the top of the Sandbox Sides.
Secure each stake to the adjacent Sandbox Side using two #8 x 2" Screws through the pre-
drilled holes.
Hammer Ground Stakes next to the Access Ladder and Cargo Upright as shown. Secure
each stake with two #8 x 2-1/2" Screws through the pre-drilled holes. Secure the Beam Legs
in the same manner.
Note: Do NOT use concrete to set Ground Stakes. Pound a metal spike or rod into the
ground to start a hole in hard or rocky ground.
Inspect your work; make sure all fasteners are secured properly and the area is clear
of hazards before allowing children on the Swing Set.
