About Kmart
Kmart is a retail chain that was founded in 1962. At its peak, Kmart was the third-largest retailer in the United States, behind Walmart and Target. The company was known for its discount prices and its “Blue Light Specials,” which were impromptu sales that were announced over the store’s public address system. However, in recent years, Kmart has struggled to compete with other retailers and has closed many of its stores. As of 2021, Kmart has just a handful of stores remaining in the United States, and it has shifted its focus to online sales.

SWING SET SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU!!!

Observing the following statements and warning reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury.

1. Provide on-site adult supervision for children 6-10 years at all times.
2. It is recommended that the playground equipment be placed in concrete. Be certain that all anchoring devices(including concrete)are placed below the level of the playing surface or below ground level to prevent tripping.
3. Teach children to sit in the center of swing play items, with their full weight in the center of seats. NEVER allow children to stand on the seats. DO NOT allow children to lean to the side when riding on other rides, or structural members, or collide with other playmates.
4. Dress children appropriately while on and around this equipment. DO NOT allow children to wear ponchos, scarves jewelry, loose shoes, jackets, or clothing with loose strings, and/or clothing that might be potentially hazardous while using this equipment.
5. DO NOT let children use equipment in any manner other than intended.
6. DO anchor all gyms. DO NOT install over concrete, asphalt, gravel, or any hard surface which may cause injury should a fall occur.
7. DO NOT let children use equipment until properly assembled and anchored. Place the swing set on LEVEL GROUND not less than 6 feet(1.8m) from any structures or obstacles such as fences, overhanging branches, laundry or electrical lines, or garages. sheds or houses.
8. Instruct children to avoid swinging empty play stations Stations may strike other children or come back and strike you.
9. Instruct children not to walk closely in front of, behind, or between moving plays. Instruct children to keep a safe distance away to avoid being struck by items in play.
10. Instruct children not to twist chains or ropes or loop them over the support bar. This adds stress, reduces strength, and may result in failure.

This product is not designed for use in daycare, nurseries, or other public places. This product is to be assembled by adults only in the manner described within this instruction manual. This product must be anchored. Anchors are included with this swing set.

Anchoring
Anchoring is necessary to prevent tipping, lifting, and overturning. We recommend anchoring the swing set in concrete, especially in soft or sandy soil. To anchor the swing set in concrete, dig a hole at least 5″(12.7cm)deep and 10″(25.4cm) to 12″(30.5cm)in diameter. Place the swing set leg in the hole, preferably on a brick or stone to keep it from sinking. Be sure the swing leg is set 3″(7.6cm)below the ground. Pour concrete around the legs and fill the hole. Cover concrete adequately using the recommended surfacing instruction in this manual. Allow the concrete to be set according to the concrete manufacturer’s instructions before use.

Assembly

Only adults should assemble or disassemble the swing set. For safety reasons and ease of assembly. It is recommended that two adults assemble the swing set. The swing set includes two 5mm Socket head wrenches. You will also need an adjustable wrench, a crosshead screwdriver, and needle-nose pliers.

Information on Playground Surfacing Materials

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 F1292. There are different types of surfacing to choose from; whichever product you select, follow these guidelines:

Loose-Fill Materials
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 over time. The surfacing will also compact, displace, and settle, and should be periodically refilled to maintain at least a 9-inch depth.

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. 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.

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.

Do not install loose fill surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt. 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 — the 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.
