Safety Checklist for Swing-N-Slide Play Sets and Accessories Observing the following statesments and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury This playset has been designed for use by a maximum of thirteen (13) occupants at one time having a combined weight of 1,365 pounds. This playset is intended for use by children from (2) to (10) years of age. On-site adult supervision for children of all ages is recommended. Instruct children not to walk close to, in front of, behind, or between moving items. Instruct children not to twist swing chains or ropes or loop them over the top support bar since this may reduce the strength of the chain or rope. Instruct children to avoid swinging empty seats. Teach children to sit in the center of the swings with their full weight on the seats. Instruct children not to use the equipment in a manner other than intended.

PLAYSET MAINTENANCE Cosmetic defects that do not affect the structural integrity of the product, or natural defects of wood such as warping, splitting, checking, twisting, shrinkage, swelling or any other physical properties of wood that do not present a safety hazard, are not covered by our warranty. To help minimize these natural defects we recommend applying a sealer or stain every two or three years, or more often as the climate dictates. Power washing, sanding or other preparatory methods should be used prior to sealing or staining. Periodic maintenance is required to ensure safe enjoyment of your playset and accessories. Read and follow the Playset Checklist below to reduce the likelihood of serious or fatal injury. Use the checklists as a guide for proper playset care and maintenance. PLAYSET CHECKLIST At the beginning of each play season: Tighten all hardware. Lubricate all metallic moving parts per manufacturer's instructions. Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are loose, cracked, or missing. Check all moving parts including swing seats, ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace as needed. Check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a nonleaded-based paint meeting the requirements of 16 CFR 1303. Check all wood members for deterioration and splinters. Sand down splinters and replace deteriorating wood members. Reinstall any plastic parts, such as swing seats or any other items that were removed for the cold season. Rake and check depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate depth. Replace as necessary. Twice a month during play season: Tighten all hardware. Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are loose, cracked, or missing. Rake and check depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate depth. Replace as necessary. Once a month during play season: Lubricate all metallic moving parts per manufacturer's instructions.

PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS SECTION 4 OF THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION'S OUTDOOR HOME PLAYGROUND SAFETY HANDBOOK 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 F 1292. There are different types of surfacing to choose from; whichever product you select, follow these guidelines: 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. Maximum fall height for this playset is 85''. Loose-Fill Materials: Maintain a minimum depth of 9 inches of loose- fill materials such as wood mulch/chips, engineered wood fiber (EWF), or shredded/recycled rubber mulch for equipment up to 8 feet high; and 9 inches of sand or pea gravel for equipment up to 5 feet high. NOTE: An initial fill level of 12 inches will compress to about a 9- inch depth of surfacing over time. The surfacing will also compact, displace, and settle, and should be periodically refilled to maintain at least a 9- inch depth.
