Rocking/Springing Equipment
Intended for Sitting Use Zones
A = ASTM: 72 in. (1829 mm)
CSA: 1800 mm
EN: 1000 mm
Important ! Please Read Completely Before Beginning Installation. According
to a report published by the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (C.P.S.C.)
72% of all playground injuries result from accidental falls. With this in mind, this
equipment is designed to ll the need for safe yet challenging play. In conjunction
with design efforts to reduce the possibilities of injuries, this equipment must be
installed "Step by Step" per our installation instructions. As a new owner you
are responsible for the correct installation, safe use, and maintenance of your
equipment.
Installation Guidelines
• Identify all parts and thoroughly read the assembly instructions before
beginning construction.
• Refer to your playground equipment plan and footing diagram to assure
the equipment purchased will t into your selected site area. The use and no-
encroachment zones around the play equipment shall be obstacle-free areas
designated for unrestricted circulation.
• ASTM compliance: For rocking/springing equipment intended for sitting,
the use zone should extend on all sides a minimum distance of 72 inches (1829
mm). This use zone may be overlapped by the use zone of other rocking/springing
intended for sitting or stationary equipment when the seat or designated play
surface is 30 inches (762 mm) or less from the protective surfacing level. See
diagram.
• CSA compliance: For rocking/springing equipment intended for sitting,
the use zone should extend on all sides a minimum distance of 1800 mm. The
designated play surface, or seating surface must be 700 mm or less from the level
of the protective surfacing. This use zone may be overlapped by the use zones
of adjacent play equipment. See diagram.
• EN Compliance: For rocking/springing equipment intended for sitting, the
use zone should extend on all sides a minimum distance of 1000 mm. This use
zone may be overlapped by the use zone of other rocking/springing equipment.
• Site layout is a critical part of the overall installation. Footings must be
measured and marked accurately according to the footing diagram. A level and
clear installation site is ideal.
• Good drainage around the structure and its supports is important. Inquire
with local contractors for appropriate recommendations.
• After laying out all footings and before digging holes, be sure to inquire about
underground utilities that may exist.
• Do not leave the job site unattended without making sure that all fastening
hardware on all components are tightened according to tightening torque
specications listed on every installation guide. We also recommend roping off
construction area and covering all holes that do not contain a piece of equipment
with plywood or other suitable material.
• Excavate holes as shown in the footing detail. If a level and clear site cannot
be obtained, adjust the depth of footing to maintain a level footing base. If soil
conditions are loose or unstable, a larger diameter footing may be required. Inquire
with local contractors for appropriate recommendations. Be sure concrete that
might have splashed onto the unit is washed off before it dries. Allow concrete to
harden 72 hours before allowing your structure to be used. Assemble the entire
structure before pouring concrete unless specically instructed to do so in
the installation instructions.
