One of the most important things you can do to reduce the likelihood of serious head injuries is to install shock-absorbingprotective surfacing under and around your play equipment. The protective surfacing should be applied to a depth that is suitablefor the equipment height in accordance with ASTM F1292. There are different types of surfacing to choose from; whicheverproduct you select, follow these guidelines:Loose-Fill Materials• Maintain a minimum depth of 9 inches of loose-fill materials such as wood mulch/chips, engineered wood fiber (EWF), orshredded/recycled rubber mulch for equipment up to 8 feet high; and 9 inches of sand or pea gravel for equipment up to 5 feethigh. NOTE: An initial fill level of 12 inches will compress to about a 9-inch depth of surfacing over time. The surfacing will alsocompact, displace, and settle, and should be periodically raked and refilled to maintain at least a 9-inch depth.• Use a minimum of 6 inches of protective surfacing for play equipment less than 4 feet in height. If maintained properly, thisshould be adequate. (At depths less than 6 inches, 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 surfacecan result in serious injury to the equipment user. Grass and dirt are not considered protective surfacing because wear andenvironmental factors can reduce their shock absorbing effectiveness. Carpeting and thin mats are not adequate protectivesurfacing. Ground level equipment -- such as a sandbox, activity wall, playhouse or other equipment that has no elevated playsurface -- does not need any protective surfacing.• Use containment, such as digging out around the perimeter and/or lining the perimeter with landscape edging. Don’t forget toaccount for water drainage.• Periodically rake, check and maintain the depth of the loose-fill surfacing material. Marking the correct depth on the playequipment support posts will help you to see when the material has settled and needs to be raked and or replenished. Be sure torake and evenly redistribute the surfacing in heavily used areas.• Do not install loose fill surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.Poured-In-Place Surfaces or Pre-Manufactured Rubber TilesYou may be interested in using surfacing other than loose-fill materials - like rubber tiles or poured-in-place surfaces.• Installations of these surfaces generally require a professional and are not “do-it yourself” projects.• Review surface specifications before purchasing this type of surfacing. Ask the installer/manufacturer for a report showing thatthe product has been tested to the following safety standard: ASTM F1292 Standard Specification for Impact Attenuation ofSurfacing Materials within the Use Zone of Playground Equipment. This report should show the specific height for which thesurface is intended to protect against serious head injury. This height should be equal to or greater than the fall height - verticaldistance between a designated play surface (elevated surface for standing, sitting, or climbing) and the protective surfacingbelow - of your play equipment.• Check the protective surfacing frequently for wear.PlacementProper placement and maintenance of protective surfacing is essential. Refer to diagram on front cover. Be sure to;• Extend surfacing at least 2m from the equipment in all directions, in accordance with EN71 Part 8.• For to-fro swings, extend protective surfacing in front of and behind the swing to a distance equal to twice the height of the top barfrom which the swing is suspended.• For tire swings, extend surfacing in a circle whose radius is equal to the height of the suspending chain or rope, plus 2m in alldirections.From the CPSC Outdoor Home Playground Safety Handbook.

About Our WoodKidKraft Netherlands B.V. uses only premium playset lumber, ensuring the safest product for your children’s use. Althoughwe take great care in selecting the best quality lumber available, wood is still a product of nature and susceptible to weatheringwhich can change the appearance of your set.What causes weathering? Does it affect the strength of my Play System?One of the main reasons for weathering is the effects of water (moisture); the moisture content of the wood at the surface isdifferent than the interior of the wood. As the climate changes, moisture moves in or out of the wood, causing tension which canresult in checking and or warping. You can expect the following due to weathering. These changes will not affect the strength ofthe product:1. Checking is surface cracks in the wood along the grain. A post (4” x 4”) will experience more checking than a board (1” x 4”)because the surface and interior moisture content will vary more widely than in thinner wood.2. Warping results from any distortion (twisting, cupping) from the original plane of the board and often happens from rapidwetting and drying of the wood.3. Fading happens as a natural change in the wood color as it is exposed to sun-light and will turn a grey over time.How can I reduce the amount of weathering to my Play System?At the factory we have coated the wood with a water repellent or stain. This coating decreases the amount of water absorptionduring rain or snow thus decreasing the tension in the wood. Sunlight will break down the coating, applying a water repellant orstain on a yearly basis is important maintenance. (see your local stain and paint supplier for a recommended product)Most weathering is just the normal result of nature and will not affect safe play and enjoyment for your child. However if you areconcerned that a part has experienced a severe weathering problem please call our consumer relations department for further assistance.Please complete your product registration online at https://prdregistration.kidkraft.com/ to receiveimportant product notifications and assure prompt warranty service.5 Year Limited WarrantyKidKraft Netherlands B.V. warrants that this product is free from defect in materials and workmanshipfor a period of one year from the original date of purchase. In addition, lumber is warranted for 5years against structural failure due to rot and insect damage. All other parts, such as hardware, swings,rides, accessories, and slides carry a one-year warranty only.This warranty applies to the original owner and registrant and is non-transferable.Regular maintenance is required to assure the integrity of your Play System. Failure by the ownerto maintain the product according to the maintenance requirements may void this warranty. Thiswarranty does not cover any inspection cost.This Limited Warranty does not cover:• Labor for replacement of any defective item(s);• Incidental or consequential damages;• Cosmetic defects which do not affect performance or integrity;• Vandalism; improper use or installation; acts of nature;• Minor twisting, warping, checking, or any other natural occurring properties of wood that do notaffect performance or integrity.KidKraft Netherlands B.V. products have been designed for safety and quality.

Keys to Assembly SuccessPart Identification KeyOn each page, you will find the parts andquantities required to complete the assemblystep illustrated on that page. Here is a sample.SymbolsThroughout these instructions symbols are provided as important reminders for proper and safe assembly.Proper Hardware AssemblyLag screws require drilling pilotholes to avoid splitting wood. Onlya flat washer is required. For ease ofinstallation liquid soap can be usedon all lag-type screws.For bolts, tap T-Nut into hole withhammer. Insert the hex bolt throughlock washer first then flat washer thenhole. Because the assemblies need tobe squared do not completely tightenuntil instructed. Pay close attention todiameter of the bolts. 5/16” is slightlylarger than 1/4”.Once the assembly is tightened, watch for exposedthreads. If a thread protrudes from the T-Nut, remove thebolt and add washers to eliminate this condition. Extrawashers have been provided for this purpose.This identifies information that requires specialattention. Improper assembly could lead to anunsafe or dangerous condition.Where this is shown, 2 or 3people are required to safelycomplete the step. To avoidinjury or damage to theassembly make sure to get help!Check that assembly is squarebefore tightening bolts.Use a measuring tape to assureproper location.Check that set or assembly is properly levelbefore proceeding.Pre-drill a pilot hole beforefastening screw or lag to preventsplitting of wood.This indicates time to tighten bolts, butnot too tight! Do not crush the wood.This may create splinters and causestructural damage.UseHelpUseHelpMeasureDistanceSquareAssemblyUseLevelPre-drill1/8” BitTightenBoltsNo YesCAUTION – Protrusion HazardTools Required6Shovel Level #2 & #3 Phillipsor RobertsonSafetyGlassesDrill (1/8”3/16” Bit)MeasuringTapeHammer Ratchet 1/2”,7/16” & 9/16”SquareRulerStepLadder12342X Post 2 x 4 x 83”6 europecustomerservice@kidkraft.com
