Operating and Pre-assembly Instructions
Observing the following statements and warnings reduces
the likelihood of serious or fatal injury:
• Number of occupants: One [1]
• The system may become hot enough under direct
sunlight and cause burning injuries.
• Check all coverings and bolts for sharp edges and
replaced when required.
• Ensure active and competent adult supervision at all
times while children are using the system.
• Do not use in strong wind conditions or wet weather, and
keep the system secure.
• Exercise caution at heights.
• Warning: Instruct children not to walk close to, in front
of, behind, or between moving items.
• Warning: Instruct children not to twist swing chains or
ropes or loop them over the top support bar. This may
reduce the strength of the chain or rope.
• Warning: Instruct children to avoid swinging empty seats.
• Warning: Teach children to sit in the center of the
swings, with their full weight on the seats.
• Warning: Instruct children not to use the equipment in
a manner other than intended.
• Warning: Instruct children not to get off equipment
while it is in motion.
• Warning: Don’t allow children to wear inappropriate
items, such as – but not limited to – loose fitting clothing,
hood and neck drawstrings, scarves, cord-connected
items, capes and ponchos. These items can cause
death by strangulation.
• Warning: Instruct children not to climb when the
equipment is wet.
• Warning: Check the openings between rollers and
sliding surfaces of roller slides for foreign materials that
could be potentially hazardous to users.
• Warning: Verify that suspended climbing ropes, chain,
or cable are secured at both ends and cannot be
looped back on itself.
• Warning: Instruct children not to attach items to
the playground equipment that are not specifically
designed for use with the equipment, such as – but not
limited to – jump ropes, clothesline, pet leashes, cables
and chain, as they may cause a strangulation hazard.
• Warning: Instruct children to remove their bike or
other sports helmet before playing on the playground
equipment.
• Warning: Dress children with well-fitting and full
foot-enclosing footwear. Examples of inappropriate
footwear are clogs, flip flops, and sandals.
• Ensure that the system has been assembled by an adult, in
accordance with the assembly instructions.
• Avoid installing over concrete, asphalt, packed earth,
grass, carpet, or any other hard surface. A fall onto a
hard surface can result in serious injury or death to the
equipment user.
• Ensure that your chosen surface allows the swing set to be
firmly embedded with the included Anchor Kit.
• Check that you have all parts required for assembly.
• Warning: Installation errors can cause falls from
equipment, serious head injury or death.
• Warning: Lock nuts and bolts securely.
• Warning: Children must not use the equipment until
properly installed.
