The lay-out for this custom playscape, design number 350-1431A, has been configured to meet the requirements of the ASTM F1487 standard. In addition,
each of the above components listed as "Certified" have been tested and are IPEMA certified. Components listed as "Not Applicable" do not fall within the
scope of the ASTM F1487 standard and have not been tested. IPEMA certification can be verified on the IPEMA website, www.ipema.org. In the interest of
playground safety, IPEMA provides a Third Party Certification Service which validates compliance.
The CO2e (carbon footprint given in Kilograms and Metric Tons) listed above is a measure of the environmental impact this play structure represents from
harvesting raw materials to the time it leaves our shipping dock. Playworld Systems nurtures a total corporate culture that is focused on eliminating carbon
producing processes and products, reducing our use of precious raw materials, reusing materials whenever possible and recycling materials at every
opportunity. Playworld Systems elected to adopt the Publicly Available Specification; PAS 2050 as published by the British Standards Institute and
sponsored by Defra and the Carbon Trust. The PAS 2050 has gained international acceptance as a specification that measures the greenhouse gas
emissions in services and goods throughout their entire life cycle.
The lay-out was also designed to meet the 2010 Standards published 15-Sep-2010, by the Department of Justice when installed over a properly maintained
surfacing material that is in compliance with ASTM F1951 "Accessibility of Surface Systems Under and Around Playground Equipment" as well as
ASTM F1292, "Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials Within the Use Zone of Playground Equipment", appropriate for the fall height of the structure.
Installation times are based on one experienced installer. A crew of three experienced individuals can perform the installation within the given time, each
member working 1/3 of the given hours. [Eg. Installation Time = 30 hours. For a crew of three, each member will work 10 hours on the installation for a
total of 30 hours on the project.]
A measurement, in pounds, that qualifies the amount of material that was captured as waste and diverted from landfill during an initial manufacturing
process and is being redirected to a separate manufacturing process to become a different product. E.g. 100% of our Aluminum Tubing is made from
captured waste material during the manufacturing process of extruded Aluminum products such as rods, flat bars and H-channels.
A measurement, in pounds, that qualifies the amount of material that was once another product that has completed its lifecycle and has been diverted from
a landfill as a solid waste through recycling and is now being used in a Playworld Systems' product. E.g. **20% to 40% of the steel in our steel tubing and
sheet steel have been diverted from landfills. Automobiles are scrapped and recyclable steel is purchased by the steel mill that produces our raw product.
** The amount of Post-Consumer recycled steel fluctuates daily based on the availability of the recycled steel.

INSTALLATION
__Notes Before You Begin:
•
Do not over tighten bolts during assembly, only snug tighten them until assembly is
complete.
•
If during the installation process a bolt needs to be removed from a part or parts,
it will be necessary to apply a drop of liquid thread lock / loctite to the bolt before
reinstallation.
Carefully read and understand these installation instructions before you begin.
__Step 1: Before attempting to assemble your equipment, please review all installation
information carefully. Should you experience any diffi culty during the installation process,
please call us at the telephone number shown on the last page of these instructions. You
will need a straight screwdriver or a 5/16" wrench for the horn assembly.
__Step 2: Separate and identify all components and hardware by referencing the detail
drawings and packing list. Determine where panel is to be placed by referring to the
master layout drawing.
Assemble the horns
__Step 3: Assemble the horns. See Details A, B, and B1. Select (2) two of the following:
horn whistles (2 different lengths), bellows, hose clamps, the horn plungers and horns.
Place the hose clamp on the neck of the bellows. Insert the smaller end of each horn whistle
into the bellows' neck, and partially tighten the screw on the clamp. Following the color
chart below, place a plunger into the inside of each of the horns. Place the bellows assembly
into the horn with the horn whistle seated into the indentation, with the end against the
plastic. Tighten the hose clamp connection. The connections should be tight enough to
hold the tube in place but not crack the plastic. (See B1) Assemble both horns.

Installation Guidelines
Challengers® Guidelines
Important ! Please Read Completely Before Beginning Installation. According
to a report published by the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (C.P.S.C.)
72% of all playground injuries result from accidental falls. With this in mind, this
equipment is designed to fill the need for safe yet challenging play. In conjunction
with design efforts to reduce the possibilities of injuries, this equipment must
be installed "Step by Step" per our installation instructions. As a new owner you
are responsible for the correct installation, safe use, and maintenance of your
equipment.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
•
Identify all parts and thoroughly read the assembly instructions before
beginning construction.
•
Site layout is a critical part of the overall installation. Footings must be
measured and marked accurately according to the footing diagram. A level and
clear installation site is ideal.
•
Good drainage around the structure and its supports is important. Inquire with
local contractors for appropriate recommendations.
•
After laying out all footings and before digging holes, be sure to inquire about
underground utilities that may exist.
•
Refer to your playground equipment drawing and footing diagram to assure
the equipment purchased will fit into your selected site area. The use and no-
encroachment zones around the play equipment shall be areas empty of obstacles
and designated for unrestricted circulation.
•
The dimensions of Use Zones vary based upon the applicable standard
for your location. The master layout drawing will show the minimum use zone
necessary for the equipment in your area.
•
When building the structure, the recommended order of assembly is: 1) posts,
2) decks, 3) bridging components that will set and square distances between decks,
4) barriers and full roofs that will add to the stability and rigidity of the structure, 5)
climbers and ground based components, and 6) partial roofs and non structural
components.
•
Insure that hard surface warning/Playworld Systems identification labels are
properly affixed to the play equipment. Labels are to be plainly visible according to
current playground equipment guidelines. See page 12. For the areas complying
with ASTM and CSA standards age appropriate labels must also be applied. See
page 11.
•
Do not leave the job site unattended without making sure that all fastening
hardware on all components are tightened according to tightening torque
specifications listed on every installation guide. We also recommend roping off
construction area and covering all holes that do not contain a piece of equipment
with plywood or other suitable material.
PROTECTIVE SURFACING
•
IMPORTANT! Because accidental falls around your playground equipment
can occur, Playworld Systems recommends that the area under and around the
structure be covered with a resilient material such as sand, bark mulch, or wood
chips. If loose fill surfacing materials are used, Playworld Systems recommends
a depth of 12 in. (305 mm). An approved rubber safety matting can also be used.
Many protective surfacing materials can become compacted due to weather
and use, which reduces their shock absorbency. It is strongly recommended
that the surfacing be checked weekly and material added or replaced as
necessary. Hard surfaces, such as asphalt, concrete and packed earth are
not acceptable for use under playground equipment.
•
The entire area, under and around the playground equipment, must be covered
with protective surfacing material. The impact attenuation of the protective surfacing
under and around playground equipment should be rated to have a critical height
value of at least the height of the highest accessible part of the equipment. The
critical height for surfacing is to be rated in accordance with the A.S.T.M. standard,
designated F-1292, A Standard Specification for Impact Attenuation of Surface
Systems Under and Around Playground Equipment. Contact the manufacturer of
unitary surfacing materials (rubber matting) for the critical height rating for their
products.
Page 2 of 14
USE ZONE INFORMATION:
Refer to the applicable standard for your location. The master structure drawing
will show use zones and critical fall heights for the equipment.
ASTM
• The overall use zone measurements for composite play structures should
extend a minimum of 72 inches from its perimeter; dimensions and configuration
of the use zone are dependent upon the types of included play equipment.
• If the stationary play equipment contains a slide (or slides), the use zones of
the slide (or slides) may not be overlapped by the use zones of adjacent play
equipment.
• The use zone in front of the slide exit shall be a minimum of 72 inches and
shall not exceed 96 inches. The use zone shall be measured from the end of
the slide and equal the vertical measurement as measured from the highest
point of the sliding surface to the protective surfacing at the slide exit.
Example: If the highest point of the sliding surface is 73.5 inches, the use zone
in front of the slide exit should measure 73.5 inches.
CSA
• The overall use zone measurements for composite play structures should
extend a minimum of 1800 mm from its perimeter; dimensions and configuration
of the use zone are dependent upon the types of included play equipment.
• If the stationary play equipment contains a slide (or slides), the use zones of
the slide (or slides) may not be overlapped by the use zones of adjacent play
equipment.
• A no-encroachment zone is also required for the exit of slides over 48" (1220
mm) in height. In addition to the use zone measurement at the runout of the
slide, the no-encroachment zone will extend an additional 1800 mm and may
not be overlapped by the use or no-encroachment zones of adjacent play
equipment.
• The use zone in front of the slide exit shall be a minimum of 1800 mm and
shall not exceed 2400 mm. The use zone shall be measured from the end of
the slide and equal the vertical measurement as measured from the highest
point of the sliding surface to the protective surfacing at the slide exit.
Example: If the highest point of the sliding surface is 1870 mm, the use zone
in front of the slide exit should measure 1870 mm.
EN
• For areas complying with the European Standard (EN-1176 / EN-1177), the
use zone at the end of the slide runout will be at least 2000 mm for Type 1 slides.
There is also a free space of 1000 mm on either side of the slide bedway.
• The use zone (impact zone) is a minimum of 1500 mm and will increase as
the critical fall height exceeds 1500 mm. A formula to calculate the impact zone
for higher fall heights is: 2/3y + 500 mm, where y equals the highest critical fall
height for the component.
FOOTINGS
•
For In-ground Footing Installations (See Pages 4-6), excavate the holes as
shown in the footing detail. If a level and clear site cannot be obtained, adjust the
depth of footing to maintain a level footing base. If soil conditions are loose or
unstable, a larger diameter footing may be required. Inquire with local contractors
for appropriate recommendations. Be sure the concrete that might have splashed
onto the unit is washed off before it dries. Allow concrete to harden 72 hours
before allowing your structure to be used. Assemble the entire structure before
pouring concrete unless specifically instructed to do so in the installation
instructions.
•
For Surface Mount Footing Installations, see page 7.

MAINTENANCE
•
Inadequate maintenance of equipment has resulted in injuries on the
playground. Because the safety of playground equipment and its stability depends
on good inspection and maintenance, a comprehensive maintenance program
must be developed for each playground and strictly followed. All equipment
must be inspected frequently for any potential hazards. Special attention must to
be given to moving parts and other components that can be expected to wear.
Inspections must to be carried out in a systematic manner by trained personnel.
Any damaged or worn parts, or any other hazards identified during inspections
must be repaired or replaced immediately. Complete documentation of all
maintenance inspections and repairs must be retained.
SUPERVISION GUIDELINES
•
Playworld Systems® strongly recommends close supervision of the children
as they play as well as intensive classroom and home instruction about safe
behavior on playground equipment.
•
Playground supervisors should be aware that not all playground equipment is
appropriate for all children who may use the playground. Signs should be posted
near the equipment indicating the recommended age of the users. Supervisors
should direct children to equipment appropriate for their age.
•
It is important that playground supervisors recognize that preschool-age
children require more attentive supervision on playgrounds than older children.
•
Do not permit the use of wet playground equipment. Wet equipment will inhibit
necessary traction and gripping capabilities. Slips or falls could occur.
•
Do not permit too many children on the same piece of equipment at the same
time. It is suggested that children take turns.
•
Constantly observe play patterns to discover possible hazardous play and
suggest changes in equipment use or play patterns.

FOOTING NOTES
•
Support post footing depth equals 42 in. (1067 mm) less the depth of the
protective surfacing material. The post is designed to have 24" (610 mm) in
concrete.
Example: If 12 in. (305 mm) of wood mulch is used for surfacing, the footing
depth would be 30 in. (762 mm).
GroundZerO® posts are footed 12 in. (305 mm) deeper than the regular support
posts, and will be marked as such on the master footing diagram.
•
Component footing depth equals 30 in. (762 mm) less the depth of the
protective surfacing material. The post is designed to have 12" (305 mm) in
concrete.
Example: If 12 in. (305 mm) of wood mulch is used for surfacing, the footing
depth would be 18 in. (457 mm).
•
Most support posts and component support legs will have either a factory-
applied sticker with line, or factory-applied mark designating protective surfacing
level on a clear and level installation site.
•
If play structure is installed on uneven terrain, maintain support post mark
at protective surfacing level at lowest grade. Adjust other footings accordingly.
Support posts and all attaching decks and play components must be plumb and
level.
•
Do not encase bottom of support post in concrete. Place post directly on
packed stone.
•
The footings shown on Playworld Systems’ documentation are recommendations
based on historical performance in average soil conditions. Footing dimensions
may be modified by the owner based on actual soil conditions.
For example:
- If local soil is loose or unstable, a larger footing may be required.
- If local soil is considered stable, such as bedrock, clay or hard packed
earth, a smaller footing may be used. Before changing footing dimensions, we
strongly recommend that the footings be reviewed and approved by a registered
engineer.
•
Base of footing must be below frost line.
•
Assemble the entire structure before pouring concrete unless specifically
instructed to do so in the individual component installation instructions.

Installation Guidelines
AGE APPROPRIATE LABELS (COMPLIANCE WITH ASTM / CSA)
Each composite play structure and each independent (non “play functionally
linked”) unit must have a label applied.
__Step 1: Choose a conspicuous location that will be visible to adults.
All three labels are included. Only apply the label that is appropriate for your
equipment.
__Step 2: Follow instructions for the type of structure or unit. The age range on
the label should match the age range listed on the master composite structure
top view drawing, or on the independent item’s installation instructions.
Composite structures: Apply label approximately 4 ft. to 5 ft. (1220 to 1525 mm)
above the resilient surfacing material on a support post. Surface must be clean
and dry before applying the label.
Independent items: Apply label in the line of sight above the resilient surfacing
material on a support post or vertical surface. Surface must be clean and dry
before applying the label. For smaller components (i.e. spring riders), place label
on the back or side of the unit - not on the spring.
Important Note: Do not place label on rotationally-molded plastic parts, Eco-
Armour coated parts, or locations where children may step and wear off label.
__Step 3: Remove backing sheet from label and apply label in position. Using
the backing sheet, rub the label to smooth into place removing any wrinkles.

FINAL INSPECTION
• Playworld Systems® insists on the installation of protective surfacing within the use
zone of each play structure in accordance with the applicable standard or specifications
appropriate for the fall height of each structure.
• Playworld Systems® strongly recommends close supervision of children as they play.
The owners of playground equipment and the parents or guardians of children are
responsible for this proper supervision.
• As the owner of playground equipment, you are responsible for the maintenance of the
equipment and surrounding play area. A comprehensive maintenance and inspection
schedule must be developed and all equipment inspected frequently. Refer to the
inspection and maintenance schedule in the back of this booklet.
• Perform a thorough final check on the installed equipment to insure all
equipment is installed as specified by manufacturer’s installation instructions.
•
Review all Installation Instructions for specified dimensions. Make sure dimensions
called for in instructions agree with actual installation.
•
Double check height dimensions. Height measurements are taken from the top of
the protective surfacing material.
•
Insure all fasteners are tightened according to tightening torque specifications listed
on your installation instructions.
•
Insure all exposed pipe ends have properly installed end caps. Insure that drive
rivets are secure.
•
Clean dried concrete off of components and any other affected surface.
•
Touch-up any scratches or installation damage to powder coated finish with color-
matched spray paint.
•
Allow adequate time for proper curing, both for concrete and urethane cement if
rubber safety surfacing tiles have been installed.
•
Insure that protective surfacing is properly installed according to C.P.S.C. (or other
appropriate body) recommendations. Footings must not be exposed.
•
Insure that hard surface warning/Playworld Systems® identification labels are
properly affixed to the play equipment. Labels are to be plainly visible according to
current playground equipment guidelines. For locations complying with ASTM F1487
or CSA Z-614, Age Appropriate labels must also be applied in a visible location.
•
Dispose of all packaging material properly. These materials which include large
plastic bags and sheets can be a suffocation hazard. Dispose of these materials out of
reach or contact of small children.

Installation Guidelines
Clamps
• Inspect clamps to insure they are properly secured to the
support posts.
• Use the supplied torx-style tamper-resistant bit to insure
bolt connection is tight.
• Use the supplied 3/16" hex key wrench to insure the set
screw connection is tight.
• Inspect drive rivets to insure they are intact and secure.
• Visually inspect clamps for cracks or breakage. If any
damage is detected, barricade equipment to prevent use
until repair is completed. Contact your sales representative
immediately for a replacement part.
Fasteners
• Inspect for loose fasteners.
Tightening torque specifications are:
Bolts and Nuts: Snug tighten and tighten an additional
one-half turn.
Set Screws: Snug tighten and tighten an additional full
turn.
• If during the maintenance process a bolt needs to be
removed from a part or parts, it will be necessary to apply
a drop of liquid thread lock / loctite to the bolt before
reinstallation.
• Inspect for missing, worn or broken fasteners. If any
missing, worn or broken fasteners are found, refer to the
installation instructions for proper replacement fastener.
If any damage is detected, barricade equipment to
prevent use until repair is completed. Contact your sales
representative immediately for a replacement part.
Castings
• Inspect the aluminum castings to insure they are properly
secured to the component.
• Visually inspect the castings for cracks or breakage. If
any damage is detected, barricade the equipment to
prevent use until repair is completed. Contact your sales
representative immediately for a replacement part.
Welds
• Inspect all welded joints. If any broken welds are detected,
barricade equipment to prevent use until repair is
completed. Contact your sales representative immediately
for a replacement part.

Composite Structure
Slide
• Inspect entire sliding surface for obstructions, sharp points,
cracks or jagged edges. If any damage to sliding surface
is detected and is determined to be unsafe, barricade
component to prevent use until repair is completed. Minor
burrs or sharp edges may be removed by using a sharp
utility knife or block plane to remove sharp burr.
• Inspect the exit region of slide for standing water. If
standing water is detected, lower the exit region to provide
a downward slope.
Note: This will require the footing of the end support leg
to be adjusted deeper.
Plastic Parts
• Inspect all plastic surfaces for sharp points, cracks
or jagged edges. If any damage is detected and is
determined to be unsafe, barricade equipment to prevent
use until repair is completed. Minor burrs or sharp edges
may be removed by using a sharp utility knife or block
plane to remove sharp burr.
Finish
• Inspect metal parts for finish damage.
To repair painted surfaces, sand damaged area with
sandpaper and wipe clean. Mask area and paint with
primer and allow to dry. Paint primed area with color-
matching paint and allow to dry. Recoat area with color-
matching paint if required. Drying time is approximately
8 hours between coats.
To repair the coating, contact the Playworld Systems’
Customer Service Department for a coating repair touch-
up kit.
