Monkey Swing
WARNING
1. PRE-INSTALLATION
1.1. Place the equipment on level ground, no less than 1.8 m (6 ft) from any structure or
obstruction – such as a fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical
wires.
1.2. Do not install 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.
1.3. Warning: Lock nuts and recommend tightening bolts securely.
1.4. Warning: Tighten nuts on bolts flush to the tube (or member) and caps that go over
exposed bolts shall be put on snug to the nut.
1.5. Warning: Children must not use the equipment until properly installed.
2. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
2.1. At the beginning of each play season:
2.1.1. Tighten all hardware.
2.1.2. Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are
loose, cracked, or missing.
2.1.3. Check all moving parts – including swing seats, ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust,
or other deterioration. Replace as needed.
2.1.4. Check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a nonlead-based paint
meeting the requirements of 16 CFR 1303.
2.1.5. Reinstall any plastic parts, such as swing seats or any other items that were removed
for the cold season.
2.1.6. Rake and check depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction
and to maintain appropriate depth. Replace as necessary.
2. 2. Twice a month during play season:
2. 2.1. Tighten all hardware.
2.2.2. Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are
loose, cracked, or missing.
2.2.3 Rake and check depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction
and to maintain appropriate depth. Replace as necessary.
2.3. Once a month during play season:
2.3.1. Check all moving parts – including swing seats, ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust,
or other deterioration. Replace as needed.
2.4. At the end of each play season:
2.4.1. Remove plastic swing seats and take indoors or do not use.
2.4.2. Rake and check depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction
and to maintain appropriate depth. Replace as necessary.
2.5. Owners shall be responsible for maintaining the legibility of the warning labels.
2.6. Disassemble and dispose of the playground equipment that no unreasonable hazards will
exist at the time the playground equipment is discarded.
2.7. Please keep for future reference.

ASSEMBLY MANUAL
3. INFORMATION
3.2. Save this instruction and information sheet in the event that the manufacturer has to be
contacted.
3.3. Maximum fall height: 88 in. (2,226 mm)
3.4. United States Consumer Product Safety Commission's (USCPSC) Outdoor Home Playground
Safety Handbook. See below:
3.5. Select Protective Surfacing – One of the most important things you can do to reduce the
likelihood of serious head injuries is to install shock-absorbing protective surfacing under
and around your play equipment. The protective surfacing should be applied to a depth that
is suitable for the equipment height in accordance with ASTM Specification F1292. There
are different types of surfacing to choose from; whichever product you select, follow these
guidelines:
3.5.1. Maintain a minimum depth of 9 in. (229 mm) of loose-fill materials such as wood mulch/
chips, engineered wood fiber (EWF), or shredded/recycled rubber mulch for equipment up to
96 in. (2438 mm) high; and 9 in. (229 mm) of sand or pea gravel for equipment up to 60 in.
(1524 mm) high.
NOTE: An initial fill level of 12 in. (305 mm) will compress to about a 9 in. (229 mm) depth
of surfacing over time. The surfacing will also compact, displace, and settle, and should be
periodically refilled to maintain at least a 9 in. (229 mm) depth.
3.5.2. Use a minimum of 6 in. (152 mm) of protective surfacing for play equipment less than 48
in. (1219 mm) in height. If maintained properly, this should be adequate. (At depths less than 6
in. (152 mm), the protective material is too easily displaced or compacted.)
NOTE: Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, or any other hard
surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to the equipment user. Grass
and dirt are not considered protective surfacing because wear and environmental factors can
reduce their shock absorbing effectiveness. Carpeting and thin mats are generally not adequate
protective surfacing. Ground level equipment – such as a sandbox, activity wall, playhouse or
other equipment that has no elevated play surface – does not need any protective surfacing.
3.5.3. Use containment, such as digging out around the perimeter and/or lining the perimeter
with landscape edging. Don't forget to account for water drainage.
3.5.3.1. Check and maintain the depth of the loose-fill surfacing material. To maintain the right
amount of loose-fill materials, mark the correct level on play equipment support posts. That
way you can easily see when to replenish and/or redistribute the surfacing.
3.5.3.2. Do not install loose fill surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.
3.6. Poured-In-Place Surfaces or Pre-Manufactured Rubber Tiles – You may be interested in
using surfacing other than loose-fill materials, like rubber tiles or poured-in-place surfaces.
3.6.1. Installations of these surfaces generally require a professional and are not "do-it-
yourself" projects.
3.6.2. Review surface specifications before purchasing this type of surfacing. Ask the installer/
manufacturer for a report showing that the product has been tested to the following safety
standard: ASTM F1292 Standard Specification for Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials
within the Use Zone of Playground Equipment. This report should show the specific height
for which the surface is intended to protect against serious head injury. This height should be
equal to or greater than the fall height – vertical distance between a designated play surface
(elevated surface for standing, sitting, or climbing) and the protective surfacing below – of
your play equipment.
3.6.3. Check the protective surfacing frequently for wear.
