3 Page 3 GENERAL FOOTING RECOMMENDATIONS Diameter and depth of footings illustrated are satisfactory in most applications for pipe sizes up to 2 3/8 diameter. Varying soil & climatic conditions may require deeper and heavier footings in some areas. Check local building codes. If code requires a deeper footing than you must dig it deeper, but do not any additional post to the hole unless you are using less than 12 of surfacing. Diagram: Permanent Installation Diagram: Suggested Bracing Method Footing Total footing depth is 3 6 (at the required angle) plus 12 of surfacing. SportsPlay Equipment manufactures all equipment to include 12 of safety surfacing. If you are using a different type or amount of surfacing you will need to dig your hole deeper so the equipment will be installed at the proper height. For example, if you are only using 4 of surfacing you need to dig your hole 4 2 deep. The depth listed above is a general requirement that will work in most locations. Check with local building codes for footing requirements. Remember the overall height needs to be the same so if your building code requires a deeper footing you should dig the hole deeper but the amount of post in the hole should not change.

4 Page 4 EQUIPMENT LAYOUT AND PART ID: USE AREA AND FOOTING LAYOUT:

5 Page 5 GENERAL USE/FALL ZONE & FOOTING RECOMMENDATIONS: The Use/Fall Zone should extend to the front & rear, a minimum distance of twice the height of the Top Rail above the resilient surfacing material. The Use/Fall Zone to the sides should follow the general recommendations of six feet minimum. This six-foot zone may overlap that of an adjacent swing structure. GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS: Check MONTHLY for loose bolts, damaged or broken parts. Tighten and/or replace immediately. On swings and any equipment that uses S-hooks and/or Swing Hangers check the bearing surfaces for wear. Replace any parts that show a reduction of 25% from the original size. ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION: NOTE: All threaded ends of bolts protruding beyond nuts must be cut off and/or peened to eliminate sharp edges. No more than two threads should extend beyond face of nut. All washers, T nuts and other fastener hardware used on round pipe or tubing must be hammered down to conform to the curved underlying surface to eliminate catch points. DO NOT tighten nuts more than hand-tight until entire assembly is completed. STEP #1: STEP #2: Mark and dig footings per footing view drawings on page 3 and footing layout on page 4. After completing assembly of swing frame, place it in footing holes to ensure accuracy. Assemble swing frame on ground. Attach Top Rail to End Fittings.

6 Page 6 STEP #2: Remove swing hanger pendulums from the swing hanger assemblies. Using S- hooks, attach chain to swing hanger pendulums. Assemble Platform before attaching to hangers (SEE PLATFORM ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 8 & 9 FOR INSTRUCTIONS). Close the S-hooks to within.034 (1/32 ) using S-hook pliers. Attach swing hangers to Top Rail STEP #3: Place Vertical Post/Legs into End Fitting STEP #4: STEP #5: Stand swing upright onto legs and brace in footing holes so that the amount of pipe will be in the footing hole under intended level of resilient surfacing and top rail is at desired height above safety surfacing. Plumb and level entire unit. Tighten setscrews by using short length of pipe on end of socket key to add leverage. Once unit is level, drill hole through Top Rail at the location of the hole on the end fitting. Insert 5/16 x 2 1/2 Button Head Bolt and 5/16 Lock Washer through End Fitting and Top Rail and Secure it using the 5/16 Button Head Nut.

7 Page 7 STEP #6: STEP #7: STEP #8: NOTE Pour concrete. Crown surface. Wait 48 hours before removing braces and using equipment. Block off access to equipment to prevent use while concrete is curing. Attach warning label and Manufacturer s Identification label to a clean surface. The labels should be attached in a location where they are clearly visible and legible and away from normal hand and foot placement areas. The labels must be replaced if they become illegible, destroyed or removed. Contact your SportsPlay distributor for replacements. This event is intended for use ONLY under adult supervision. When not in use, be sure to secure platform to the frame to prevent use.

WHEELCHAIR SWING PLATFORM PACKING LIST (CONTENTS OF PLATFORM HARDWARE BAG LISTED ON PAGE 1) (12) /4 X 3/4 FLAT HEAD MACHINE SCREW (12) /4 NYLON LOCK NUT NOTE: STEP #1: STEP #2: STEP #3: STEP #4: STEP #5: If the Wheelchair Swing Platform is to be used in an open park or playground installation, we recommend some system of security whereby management removes the Swing Platform, or secures it to the nearest support, to prevent unsupervised use of the equipment. Attach ramps to Platform using Flat Head Screws and Lock Nuts to secure Platform Hinges to ramps. Position Entry Ramp in the direction of normal wheelchair access. Hang Platform from existing Swing Hangers so that bottom of Main Platform is approximately 4 off the ground. Position Pull Chain Attachment, if purchased for use with the Platform, so the Pull Chain hangs on the Short Ramp side. Attach chains of Short Ramp at approximately a 45-degree angle to Platform.

9 STEP #6: H HD Adult Wheelchair Swing Frame & Hangers(perm) Page 9 Attach long chains at end of the Entry Ramp to chains supporting platform so that the ramp rests on the ground. Once the Wheelchair is on the Platform with front wheels hitting the Short Ramp, the occupant can pull the Ramp up against the rear wheels locking the wheelchair into position by attaching the middle Swivel Snap to the Platform Chain. STEP #7: For added safety, the Long Restraining Chain can be positioned across the chest of the occupant. The Short Restraining Chain is then available as a Hand Hold for the occupant. Both Restraining Chains have Swivel Snap at both ends so they can be reversed or even removed if not needed.

10 Page H OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Two people must be present to get the platform into an operational position and one must be an adult. 2. One person must hold the platform in position while the other person is placing the wheelchair on the platform. 3. The long restraining chain (see drawing on page 8) must be unsnapped or removed before placing the wheelchair on to the platform 4. Once the chain is unsnapped or removed, then the front platform/chain assembly (see drawing on page 8) must be unsnapped from the chain assembly and pulled down. 5. Once the front platform chain assembly is pulled down, the wheelchair should be placed or rolled on to the platform. Note: Once the wheel chair is in position on the swing, lock the wheelchair wheels. Only use the long entry ramp for entry and exit. If required, the short ramp in the rear may be secured with bolts; and for security reasons, this ramp should always be up in a locked position. 6. The front platform/chain assembly should be pushed back into its original position and snapped back on the chain assembly of the platform with the swivel snaps. 7. Finally, the long restraining chain should be placed or snapped back onto the chain assembly by using the swivel snaps. For added safety, the Long Restraining Chain can be positioned across the chest of the occupant. The Short Restraining Chain is then available as a Hand Hold for the occupant. Both Restraining Chains have a Swivel Snap at each end so they can be reversed or even removed if not needed. 8. Once the user is finished, two people will again be needed when removing the wheelchair from the platform. Also note this unit must be secured to the swing frame with some type of security latch or lock to avoid accidents or use of the equipment when not under supervision. An example of such a security device would be a piece of chain wrapped around the swing frame post and wheelchair platform with a padlock attached to the chain to secure the unit. The weight capacity on this product is 500 lbs.
