SAFE PLAY
Reign Two Story Swing Attachment Assembly Guide
To reduce the risk of injury of death, you must follow these instructions:
· Adult supervision required at all times when the playhouse is being used.
· Go over warnings and proper use with children before use. Teach children proper use including safe front and back swinging practices.
· Children should be instructed not to swing empty swings.
· Children should be instructed to not use equipment in a manner other than intended. They should be shown how to sit in the center of the swing with their full weight on the seat.
· Make sure moving equipment has come to a complete stop before child gets off.
· Children should not wear bicycle or sports helmets or any headgear with chinstrap to avoid catching on playhouse.
· Adults should check for damaged wood, missing or loose hardware, or any sharp edges before every use. Replace, tighten and smooth rough edges between uses. Lubricate any moving parts when needed.
· Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet, or any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to the equipment user.
· Children should be dressed in well fitting clothes and wearing closed toed shoes when using playhouse.
· Adults should ensure the playhouse is on a flat and level surface and does not rock due to an uneven spot. Check the depth of surface under and around the playhouse regularly. Add material to maintain minimum required depth and rake to keep level. See Assembly and Layout for more information.
· Check surface temperatures on hot days to ensure plastic, metal and wood surfaces could burn children during use.
· Surfaces can be cooled with water. Wipe everything dry before use.
· Children should be instructed to not twist swing chains and ropes, swinging empty seats, or looping chains over top bar.
· If surfaces are wet, dry them off before use as there is a risk of child slipping and falling.
WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
· All wood parts are made from weather tolerant cedar and sealed with a water-based sealant. Weathering from seasonal changes and other outdoor exposure will cause moisture content of the wood to shift and cause cracking, warping, and fading. While these changes will not impact the integrity of the product, we advise regular maintenance to slow the speed and amount of weathering.
· In order to slow normal weathering and ensure warranty is not voided, it is required that a layer of sealant be applied to all wood surfaces every 1-2 years (yearly for areas that are humid and hot, every 2 years for areas that are dry. Before sealing, lightly sand wood pieces where there might be rough spots. This will reduce the rate of fading.
As part of safe play, we recommend daily checks of playhouse before used by children. Checks should include the following:
· Check bolts and hardware at swing connections to ensure they are tight and secure. Replace as necessary when cracked, loose, or missing.
· Check all moving parts including swing seats, ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust, or the deterioration. Replace or lubricate as needed.
· Ensure ropes and chains have no damage or are looped around top · Check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a non lead-
bar.
based paint meeting the requirements of 16 CFR 1303.
· Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are loose, cracked, or missing.
· Check depth of loose fill. Rake as needed to prevent compacting and thin areas. Add additional layers of materials as needed.
Once a month during play season: Lubricate all metallic moving parts per manufacturer’s instructions, check all moving parts including swing seats, ropes, cables and chains for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace as needed.
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.
When temperatures drop below 32°F, remove and store swings.

This Warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other rights as well which vary from state to state or province to province. This warranty excludes all consequential damages, however, some states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of consequential damages and therefore this limitation may not apply to you.
ASSEMBLY AND SURFACE PREPARATION
Do not install on any hard surface (ex – concrete or asphalt). Doing so increases risk of serious head and other injuries from tripping or falling. Mats,outdoor carpet, and loose fill over hard surfaces do not have sufficient padding to reduce risk of use on hard surfaces. Do not use these options.
POSITIONING THE PLAYHOUSE
Playhouse is designed to be utilized on a level surface with at least 6 feet of open surface that is free of any obstruction. In order to prepare play area before beginning assembly:
· Consider locating the playhouse in an area that is convenient for adults to watch children at play.
· Remove any obstacle such as tree stumps and roots, branches, bushes, and large rocks from the play area.
RECOMMENDED PLAY AREA SURFACES
· After prepping playhouse area and installing playhouse, it is recommended to add a layer of shock absorbing material around playhouse. If used properly these materials can absorb some of the impact of a child’s fall.
· We recommend the following types of surfaces: Shredded wood products and mulch, shredded tires, fine or coarse sand, or gravel
· Over time, shock-absorbing materials will compact and shift. When this happens additional material should be added and surfaces raked by an adult to maintain consistent thickness around entire playhouse.
· Please consult a landscaping professional on the required amount of material needed to meet the minimum requirement of final compressed thickness.

POURED-IN-PLACE SURFACES OR PRE-MANUFACTURED RUBBER TILES
You 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 that the product has been tested to the following safety standard: ASTM F1292 Standard Specification for Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials within the Use Zone of Playground Equipment. This report should show the specific height for which the surface is intended to protect against serious head injury. This height should be equal to or greater than the fall height–vertical distance between a designated play surface (elevated surface for standing, sitting, or climbing) and the protective surfacing below–of your play equipment.
· Check the protective surfacing frequently for wear.
PLACEMENT
Proper placement and maintenance of protective surfacing is essential. Be sure to;
· Extend surfacing at least 6 feet from the equipment in all directions.
· 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 bar from 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 6 feet in all directions.
PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS APPENDIX A
APPENDIX A
Information on Playground Surfacing Materials: The following information is from the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Information Sheet for playground surfacing material; also see the following website for additional information:. www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/323.html
X3. CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET FOR PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS11
X3.1 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:
X3.1.1 Loose-Fill Materials:
X3.1.1.1 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 overtime. The surfacing will also compact, displace, and settle, and should be periodically refilled to maintain at least a 9-inch depth.
X3.1.2 Use a minimum of 6 inches of protective surfacing for play equipment less than 4 feet in height. If maintained properly, this should 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 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.

X3.1.3 Use containment, such as digging out around the perimeter and/or lining the perimeter with landscape edging. Don’t forget to account for water drainage. X3.1.3.1 Check and maintain the depth of the loose-fill surfacing material. To maintain the right amount of loose-fill materials, mark the correct level on play equipment support posts. That way you can easily see when to replenish and/or redistribute the surfacing. X3.1.3.2 Do not install loose-fill surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt. X3.1.4 Poured-In-Place Surfaces or Pre-Manufactured Rubber Tiles — You may be interested in using surfacing other than loose-fill materials like rubber tiles or poured-in-place surfaces. X3.1.4.1 Installations of these surfaces generally require a professional and are not “do-it-yourself ” projects. X3.1.4.2 Review surface specification before purchasing this type of surfacing. Ask the installer/manufacturer for a report showing that the product has been tested to the following safety standard: ASTM F 1292 Standard Specification for Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials within the Use Zone of Playground Equipment. This report should show the specific height for which the surface is intended to protect against serious head injury. This height should be equal to or greater than the fall height vertical distance between a designated play surface (elevated surface for standing, sitting, or climbing) and the protective surfacing below of your play equipment. X3.1.4.3 Check the protective surfacing frequently for wear. X3.1.5 Placement — Proper placement and maintenance of protective surfacing is essential. Be sure to: X3.1.5.1 Extend surfacing at least 6 feet from the equipment in all directions.
