We want your children to enjoy their new Jungle Gym safely. Here are some important guidelines to ensure safe and fun play:
Note: The numbers align with the image provided at the bottom.
1. Be Mindful of the Weather
Avoid playing in wet or frosty conditions: Surfaces can become slippery, and even soft ground can harden during frost.
Store accessories indoors: When temperatures drop below 0° C (32° F), bring accessories like swings and ropes inside to protect them.
2. Use the Equipment as Intended
Proper use is key: Using the playset or accessories in unintended ways may cause damage or injury.
Avoid twisting: Do not twist swings, chains, or ropes. Twisting can weaken the materials and create potential safety hazards.
3. Safety Tips for Kids
Remind children not to:
Jump off swings while they are moving.
Swing empty seats or swing at an angle.
Hang upside down from any part of the playset.
Grab or stop other children on moving equipment.
Walk too close to moving swings or accessories.
4. Swing Safety
Sit properly: Ensure children sit in the centre of the seat with their full weight evenly distributed.
One child per swing: Only one child should use each swing seat at a time.
Playset capacity:
For a standard tower: Maximum of 3 children, each weighing up to 50 kg (110 lbs).
For a tower with a swing: Maximum of 5 children, each weighing up to 50 kg (110 lbs).
5. Roof and Module Safety
No climbing on the roof: Climbing on the roof or module tops is not allowed to prevent falls and injuries.
6. Keep the Play Area Clear
Clear obstacles: Ensure the play area around the climbing frame is free from obstacles such as trees, branches, or nearby structures.
7. Reduce Platform Risks
Add safety features: Consider adding handles, safety bars, or fence boards to reduce the risk of accidents on platforms.
8. Slide Safety
Slide the right way: Always go down the slide while sitting, feet first. Avoid sliding headfirst or standing up.
Check for heat: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can make the slide surface hot. Cool it down with water and dry it before use.
9. Attachments and Accessories
Use only approved accessories: Only attach items specifically approved by Jungle Gym. Avoid attaching unsafe items like dog runs, clotheslines, electrical devices, or loose ropes.
By following these guidelines, you can help ensure your Jungle Gym remains a safe and enjoyable place for your children to play! 🚀😊
