Installation Guide

Important

Please read completely before beginning installation.

This equipment has been designed for safety as well as challenge and fun. This

equipment has been designed to reduce injuries and therefore must be installed

“Step by Step” per our Instructions.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published a report

stating 79% of all playground injuries treated in U.S. Emergency Rooms was the

result of a fall. It is critical that you refer to the Protective Surfacing section of

these instructions, located on the next page prior to installing your playground.

As the owner you are responsible for the safe installation of not only the play

equipment, but also the safety of the site.

When your receive your playground

Identify all parts by comparing them to the part list and component

instruction pages.

Always compare the number of pallets, cartons or other items the BOL

has listed with the number actually received. Note the any discrepancies

on the BOL.

Also note any obvious damage to the packing materials, pallets or

components on the BOL.

Equipment should be inventoried and installed within a few days of

receipt. The packing materials are meant to protect the equipment

during shipping and not for storage. Heat, weather and sunlight can

damage the packing materials, which can impact the components. If

storage is required you must store the equipment in a controlled

environment away from heat, moisture and sunlight. SportsPlay

recommends carefully unpacking the unit and taking an inventory before

storing the equipment. Care should be taken with all powder coated and

thermoplastic-coated parts to prevent damage to the coating.

Before you begin

Review your playground footing and top view drawings to ensure your site is

large enough. These guidelines are available from the CPSC (contact

information for the CPSC is located on the next page).

Read through the entire instruction booklet before beginning the actual

installation.

Before you begin preparing the site or digging any holes you must first

contact you local utility companies so they can visit the site and mark all

of the buried utilities. In the U.S. you may call 811 and your call will be

routed to your local utility center.

This equipment was designed to install on a clear and level site. There

should be no more than 3” of grade variations in a 10’ span.

Footing layout is the first critical step once the installation begins. Mark

all holes using the footing diagram. Prior to digging holes compare the

measurements from the footing diagram to the actual site markings to

ensure accuracy. Then check it again! (Footing info is located on pg 16

in this guide)

Our posts are manufactured to accommodate 12” of protective surfacing.

Evaluate the site for drainage. To ensure good drainage around the

equipment consult a local professional.

Do not leave the jobsite un-attended during installation unless all access

points to the play area are secure, all bolts and fasteners are tight and all

ground holes are covered.

Installation Guide

SportsPlay Equipment inc. has provided two warning labels that state:

“WARNING – Installation over a hard surface such as concrete, asphalt

or packed earth may result in serious injury or death from falls.” These

labels must be installed on vertical posts as per ASTM F1487.

Instructions for the placement of these labels are included in the

appendix of this booklet.

SportsPlay will provide manufacturer identification labels that must be

installed on the structure during installation per ASTM F1487.

Installation instructions for these labels are included in the appendix of

this instruction manual.

Labels must be replaced when they are no longer legible. Contact your

distributor for replacement labels.

Safety Surfacing

WARNING! –INSTALLATION OVER A HARD SURFACE SUCH AS

CONCRETE, ASPHALT OR PACKED EARTH MAY RESULT IN

SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM A FALL

Because accidental falls are likely to occur around play equipment, SportsPlay

Equipment Inc. recommends that a resilient safety surfacing that will meet

standard ASTM F1292 be placed under and around the structure and extend

throughout the entire use zone.

SportsPlay Equipment Inc. does not manufacture safety surfacing. All

manufacturers of safety surfacing require different depths of surfacing for fall

heights. Consult your surfacing supplier about the required safety surfacing

depth for your play equipment.

SportsPlay Equipment Inc. manufactures all playgrounds to accommodate

12” of safety surfacing. If you intend to adjust the height of the surfacing

you will need to adjust the depth of the footing to accommodate the

surfacing height.

Refer to the CPSC Handbook for Public Playground Safety for the recommended

type and depth of the protective surfacing as well as all other playground safety

concerns.

You must consider the type of safety surfacing you will use before beginning

the installation process. There are two general types, organic/loose fill or

synthetic unitary (pour in place). You must know which type of surfacing

you are going to use prior to installing the playground. This unit was

designed for 12” of loose fill surfacing so if the customer wants to use a

synthetic unitary product that has a much smaller height than 12” you must

dig the footing holes deeper to allow for the difference.

If loose fill surface material is to be used (example: wood mulch) you will

need to consider containment borders. There are many products to choose

from including hard plastic and natural products such as wood (Creosoted

railroad ties are NOT recommended for use as borders in a play area). Loose

fill materials are easily displaced so use of some type of containment border

is necessary to keep the surfacing material inside the intended area. Some

customers also prefer to have a weed mat installed to prevent weed growth.

Choose a mat that will prevent growth but will also allow for drainage.

Installation Guide

BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION OF YOUR PLAYGROUND,

PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY.

BEFORE BEGINNING

SITE REQUIREMENTS

The Playground system is designed to suit a level site. Should there be any falls

or slopes on the site; care should be taken to accommodate the entry and exit points

and to maintain the correct height. There should not be more than 3” of drop in grade

per every 10’.

The site must be inspected for natural obstacles such as roots or rocks that may

be a trip hazard, poor drainage and sharp objects such as glass.

Every state has different rules and regulations governing digging, some are

stricter than others. In addition, 62 separate One Call Centers serve different

areas of the country; now 811 will connect you directly to your local One Call

Center. Prior to digging, be sure to call 811 or the local One Call Center to

prevent accidentally disrupting local utility service.

MAINTENANCE:

As an owner, it is most important that you are aware of your responsibility to

insure safe use of your new equipment. It is necessary to install equipment

according to the installation instructions provided and inspect the equipment at

regular intervals. During inspection, if any part is found damagedorexcessivelyworn,

equipment shouldbeclosed immediately. Amaintenancesectionisincludedinthe

appendixofthisinstructionbooklet.

If a part is missing or damaged the playground must be put out of service while

the part is replaced. Lack of maintenance will result in premature wear, reduced

life expectancy,andpossiblefailurethat mayresultininjury.

All SportsPlay Equipment play events have been engineered to meet all

applicable safety guidelines, but if installed improperly, these problems may

occur:

Entrapment gaps (between 3 1/2” and 9”)

String Entanglements

Protrusions

Make sure that any bolt end that protrudes more than 2 threads past the face of the

nut is trimmed and de-burred smoothly. Always double-check your work.

Installation must adhere to the manufacturer’s assembly manual and all other applicable

safety guidelines.

PLAY AREA:

The area immediately above and around the play structure must be free of any

obstructions such as:

Trees

Other Play Equipment

Buildings

Overhead Power lines

Make sure the play area has all the required safety surfacingandthe

minimumfallzonesasrequiredbythesafety guidelines. These guidelines can

be found at www.cpsc.gov.

CHILDREN MUSTBE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES. No playground is

safe without adult supervision!

There may be situations that require you to modify the layout or use your own

judgment. If you have any questions contact you distributor.

Reading this entire manual before beginning the installation will help you to

ensure your equipment is installed and maintained correctly.
