Keep and refer to these instructions often and give them to any future owner of this play system. Manufacturer contact information provided below.
  • Page 2 Warnings and Safe Play Instructions CONTINUOUS ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED. Most serious injuries and deaths on playground equipment have occurred while children were unsupervised! Our products are designed to meet mandatory and voluntary safety standards. Complying with all warnings and recommendations in these instructions will reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury to children using this play system.
  • Page 3 Protective Surfacing - Reducing Risk of Serious Head Injury From Falls. 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 F1292.
  • Page 4 Instructions for Proper Maintenance Your Big Backyard Play System is designed and constructed of quality materials with your child’s safety in mind. As with all outdoor products used by children, it will weather and wear. To maximize the enjoyment, safety and life of your Play Set, it is important that you, the owner, properly maintain it.
  • Page 5 About Our Wood Solowave Design™ uses only premium playset lumber, ensuring the safest product for your children’s use.
