- Safe Play Practices:
- Children should not walk close to, in front of, behind, or between moving items.
- Children should keep a safe distance to avoid being struck by items in play.
- Children should not twist swing chains or ropes or loop them over the top support bar to prevent reducing chain strength.
- Children should avoid swinging empty seats.
- Children should sit in the center of the swings with their full weight on the seats; standing or leaning to the side is not permitted.
- Children should not get off equipment while it is in motion or jump from moving play items.
- Children should not use the equipment in any manner other than intended.
- Children should always grasp the Jungle Gym frame rails while playing and climbing.
- Children should remove bike or other sports helmets before playing.
- Children should step on and off the Jungle Gym Station, not jump.
- Clothing Guidelines: Children should wear well-fitting and full-foot enclosing footwear. Loose-fitting clothing, hood and neck drawstrings, scarves, cord-connected items, capes, and ponchos are prohibited due to strangulation risk.
- Environmental Conditions: Do not allow children to play on equipment when it is wet to prevent slips or falls.
- Attachments: Do not attach items not specifically designed for use with the equipment (e.g., jump ropes, clothesline, pet leashes, cables, chains) as they may cause a strangulation hazard.
- Surface Requirements: The swing set must be placed on a level surface. Shock-absorbing surfacing materials are recommended, with specific depth requirements based on the fall height. Loose-fill materials like wood mulch, engineered wood fiber, shredded rubber mulch, sand, or pea gravel are suggested. Poured-in-place surfaces or pre-manufactured rubber tiles are also options, but require professional installation and adherence to ASTM F1292 standards.
- Anchoring: The product should be anchored to the ground to prevent tipping, overturning, or lifting. Anchoring devices are sold separately and must be placed below the playing surface to prevent tripping.
