WARNINGS: To Prevent Serious Injuries and Death

• ADULT ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION REQUIRED.

• Keep these instructions for future reference.

• Prior to assembly, this package contains small parts: hardware which is a choking hazard and

may contain sharp edges and sharp points. Keep away from children until assembled.

• Falls onto hard surfaces could result in head or other serious injuries. Never place on concrete,

asphalt, wood, packed earth, grass, carpet or other hard surfaces. Carpet over hard floors may

not prevent injury. Always use protective surfacing on the ground under and surrounding the

playground equipment according to the guidelines in this manual. Maximum fall height

protection up to 5 feet (1.5 m) required.

• Children have died when hood or neck drawstrings on their jackets or sweatshirts caught on

slides or other playground equipment. Parents are advised to remove hood and next

drawstrings from clothing to prevent entanglement and strangulation.

• Adult supervision required. Do not leave children unattended.

• This product is intended for use by children ages 2 to 5 years.

• Shoes must be worn at all times.

• Maximum weight 100 lbs. (45 kg) per child. Limit 8 children.

CAUTION:

• Observing the following statements and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal

injury.

• Place this product on level ground not less than 6' (2 m) from any structure or obstruction such

as a fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines or electrical wires.

• To prevent serious injury, children must not use the equipment until properly installed.

• Dress children appropriately: do not allow children to wear loose-fitting clothing including

ponchos, scarves and garments with drawstrings. Well-fitting shoes must be worn at all times.

• It is recommended that the orientation of the assembled product be such that direct sunlight is

minimized on surfaces intended for standing or sitting.

• Instruct children on proper use of this product, only after properly placed, and not in a manner

other than intended.

• Do not allow children to climb on product when product is wet.

• Instruct children not to attach items to the product that are not specifically designed for use with

the product such as, but not limited to, jump ropes, clotheslines, pet leashes, cables and chains,

as they may cause a strangulation hazard.

MAINTENANCE

• Check all nuts, bolts, anchors and anchor hardware twice monthly during usage period and

tighten as required. Increase frequency of inspection and maintenance if equipment is subject to

heavy use. Also check all bolt coverings, if applicable, to be certain they are in place. Replace

when necessary. It is particularly important that this procedure be followed at the beginning of

each season.

• Specific areas to inspect and maintain include, but are not limited to anchoring hardware,

bubble window, hardware, warning decals and the tunnel hardware. Call 1-800-321-0183 to

order replacement parts. Use ONLY Little Tikes replacement components for damaged or worn

items.

• Do not use outdoors when temperatures fall below 0°F (-18°C).

DISPOSAL

• Disassemble and dispose of equipment in such a manner that no hazardous conditions exist,

such as but not limited to, small parts and sharp edges, exist at the time equipment is

discarded.

ASSEMBLY STEPS

Overhead obstructions within the “use”

zone shall not be within 84" (2.15 m) of

the highest platform (platform #4). All

overhead utility line clearances shall

comply with all local, state and national

codes such as the National Electric

Safety Code.

WARNING:

• Observing the following statements and

warnings reduces the likelihood of

serious or fatal injury.

•

Unit must be properly anchored prior to use.

• Inspect product at regular intervals for

wear or loose hardware. Remove from

service if any abnormal conditions such as

cracks or breaks exist. Failure to perform

periodic checks could cause the anchored

product to overturn or cause a fall.

• Anchors must be used on level ground.

• Anchors must be installed entirely below

ground level to prevent children from

tripping.

SAFETY

CLEARANCE

ZONES

Orient the unit in the area intended for the installation.

CAUTION: Ensure that at least 6' (2 m) of clear,

unobstructed space surrounds the unit in every

direction. The safety

“use” zone must be free of all

obstacles such as: trees, posts, fences, buildings,

curbs, structures, etc.

TOTAL minimum space required 18' (5.5 m) x 24'

(7.3 m).

Once the 6' (2 m) safety “use” zone and

84" (2.15 m) overhead zone have been

established, mark the anchor areas as

shown above. Mark holes as close to the

unit as possible near the anchor cabling

holes in the climber. Carefully move the unit

away from the marked holes and proceed

to “Anchoring the Unit” section.

ANCHORING THE UNIT

1. Dig holes 8" (20 cm) deep at locations

shown on the previous page. Hole should be

wider at the bottom so anchors can be

placed directly underneath the anchor hole in

product (as shown).

2. Screw auger anchor into soil so that the top

of the anchor is 4" (10 cm) below the top of

the hole. Carefully slide assembled unit back

over the hole locations.

SAFETY SURFACING

3. Loop steel cable through anchor holes and

fasten steel wire cable clips so that cables

are tight. Tighten bolts securely.

4. Fill in all holes with 6" (15 cm) concrete as

shown. Allow to fully dry per the concrete

manufacturer’s instructions.

5. Fill in remainder of hole with packed top soil.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety

Commission (CPSC) estimates that about

100,000 playground equipment-related injuries

resulting from falls to the ground surface are

treated annually in U.S. hospital emergency

rooms. Injuries involving this hazard pattern tend

to be among the most serious of all playground

injuries, and have the potential to be fatal,

particularly when the injury is to the head. The

surface under and around playground

equipment can be a major factor in determining

the injury-causing potential of a fall. It is self

evident that a fall onto a shock-absorbing

surface is less likely to cause a serious injury

than a fall onto a hard surface. Playground

equipment should never be placed on hard

surfaces such as concrete or asphalt and while

grass may appear to be acceptable it may

quickly turn to packed earth in areas of high

traffic. Shredded bark mulch, wood chips, fine

sand or fine gravel are considered to be

acceptable shock-absorbing surfaces when

installed and maintained at a sufficient depth

under and around playground equipment.

The following table lists the maximum height

from which a child would not be expected to

sustain a life-threatening head injury in a fall

onto four different loose-fill surfacing materials if

they are installed and maintained at depths of 6,

9, and 12 inches (152, 229, and 305 mm).

However, it should be recognized that all injuries

due to falls cannot be prevented no matter what

surfacing material is used.

6 inch 9 inch 12 inch

Type of (152 mm) (229 mm) (305 mm)

Material depth depth depth

Double Shredded

Bark Mulch 6' (1.8 m) 10' (3 m) 11' (3.4 m)

Wood Chips 6' (1.8 m) 7' (2.1 m) 12' (3.7 m)

Fine Sand 5' (1.5 m) 5' (1.5 m) 9' (2.7 m)

Fine Gravel 6' (1.8 m) 7' (2.1 m) 10' (3 m)

It is recommended that a shock-absorbing

material should extend a minimum of 6 ft. (2 m)

in all directions from the perimeter of the

stationary equipment such as climbers and

slides.

This information is intended to assist in

comparing the relative shock-absorbing

properties of various materials. No particular

material is recommended over another.

However, each material is only effective when

properly maintained. Materials should be

checked periodically and replenished to maintain

correct depth as determined necessary for your

equipment. The choice of a material depends on

the type and height of the playground

equipment, the availability of the material in your

area, and its cost.

Safety surface fill lines are molded in several

locations directly on the unit. These are to be

used as visual guidelines for safety surfacing

materials. Safety surfacing must be maintained

at these levels.
