  • Page 7: General Installation Guidelines

    GENERALINSTALLATION GUIDELINES (Page 1 of 4) IMPORTANT! Please read the entire Installation Instructions packet before beginning the installation. Superior Recreational Products has designed DiscoveryCenters to take advantage of all Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)andASTMguidelines in force at the time of purchase in an effort to prevent playground accidents. However, because studies have shown most playground injuries result from accidental falls, you, as the new owner of this equipment are responsible for providing an adequately resilient play surface under and around all playground equipment.
  • Page 8 GENERALINSTALLATION GUIDELINES (Page 2 of 4) TOOLS REQUIRED: Superior Recreational Products supplies only the special wrenches and bits required to fasten the “tamper-resistant” hardware and components. Refer to the Tools Required page for a detailed list. A power post hole digger may facilitate installation in some circumstances.
  • Page 9 GENERALINSTALLATION GUIDELINES (Page 3 of 4) The positioning of certain components by the installer can affect these criteria, so you should alwaysmeasure distances created when attaching components in order to avoid these spaces which can cause entrapment of a child using the equipment. Also, ASTMrequires that no more than 2 threads of a bolt can protrude from the nut.
  • Page 10 GENERALINSTALLATION GUIDELINES (Page 4 of 4) The Discovery Center is a modular play system that uses a grid system for the playground layout. It is very important to spend a few minutes before beginning the installation to ensure that components are inventoried and organized properly. INVENTORYMUSTBETAKENPERCARTON! LOOK FOR THE NUMBERS! Each metal post will have a NUMBERsticker on it that corresponds with the numbers on the printed grid.
