Disposal Instructions
‰ ‰
When‰the‰equipment‰is‰taken‰out‰of‰service,‰it‰must‰be‰disassembled‰and‰disposed‰of‰in‰such‰a‰way‰that‰no‰unreasonable‰hazards‰will‰exist‰at‰the‰time‰the‰set‰is‰discarded.
This product is intended for single family home/residential use only and not intended for use in any public setting. Placement in public settings constitutes misuse of this product.
According‰to‰ASTM‰requirements,‰all‰kits‰must‰be‰anchored‰to‰the‰ground‰and,‰if‰the‰unit‰has‰a‰climbing‰rope,‰the‰rope‰end‰must‰be‰anchored.‰If‰soil‰conditions‰permit‰stakes‰to‰be‰pulled‰out‰easily,‰cementing‰into‰
ground‰is‰necessary.
To anchor the unit to the ground,‰Follow‰the‰instructions‰included‰in‰this‰plan‰for‰applying‰Anchor-It‰devices‰to‰your‰unit,‰or‰use‰2"‰x‰4"‰x‰18"‰(45mm‰x‰95mm‰x‰457mm)‰pressure-
‰
treated‰stakes.‰Pound‰stakes‰into‰ground‰at‰least‰12"‰(305mm)‰at‰all‰inside‰corners‰of‰the‰posts‰(including‰A-frame‰legs‰and‰climbing‰unit‰posts).‰Attach‰with‰four‰(4)‰3-1/2"‰screws‰
(approved‰for‰treated‰wood)‰per‰stake‰into‰each‰tower‰and/or‰A-frame‰upright.
‰
If the unit has a climbing rope,‰securely‰anchor‰the‰rope‰at‰both‰ends.
‰
Once the unit is completely assembled and before children are allowed to play on it,‰proper‰shock-absorbing‰surfacing‰material‰must‰be‰installed.‰This‰may‰be‰accomplished‰by‰
using‰loose-fill‰materials‰at‰a‰sufficient‰depth.‰The‰Consumer‰Product‰Safety‰Commission‰"Handbook‰for‰Public‰Playground‰Safety"‰lists‰the‰following‰materials‰and‰required‰depths‰

When‰properly‰installed,‰shock‰absorbing‰material‰will‰completely‰cover‰the‰horizontal‰baseboards‰on‰climbing‰units.‰This‰protective‰surfacing‰must‰extend‰a‰minimum‰of‰6‰ft.‰(1.828m)‰in‰all‰directions‰from‰the‰
perimeter‰of‰the‰equipment‰or‰from‰the‰outermost‰edges‰of‰any‰component.‰For‰example,‰a‰slide‰extending‰beyond‰the‰platform‰must‰have‰protective‰surfacing‰at‰least‰6‰ft.‰(1.828mm)‰out‰from‰both‰sides‰as‰well‰
as‰the‰end.‰For‰swings,‰the‰protective‰surface‰must‰extend‰at‰least‰14‰ft.‰(6m)‰out‰from‰both‰the‰back‰and‰front‰of‰the‰swing‰when‰the‰swing‰is‰in‰its‰rest‰position.
