June 11, 2020 902-293 6' IND. SECTIONAL SLIDE (VL) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 2 FOOTING INFORMATION Total footing depth is 40" less the height of the surfacing plus the height of the blocking material. If you are using 12" of surfacing the footing hole would need to be 28" plus the height of the blocking material (refer to both the side and front cutaway views to the right). If the Play structure is installed on an unlevel grade you must adjust the footing depth to accommodate the grade. For instance, if the grade for this component is 1" higher than the surface grade of the main playground post you must dig your footing hole 1" deeper. You must place the bottom of the support post or slide leg on a suitable flat blocking material to prevent it from sinking further into the soil. We recommend you use a brick, block of wood or several inches of gravel. The footing depth does not include this blocking material since materials used often vary. It is the owner/installers responsibility to check local building codes and to comply with those codes. All footing depths listed here are recommendations and local soil types and frost lines may require a deeper and/or wider footing depth. If that is the case you must add more blocking material to accommodate the deeper footing, as the post length will still only be installed at the depth listed in this instruction manual. Assemble the entire unit before adding the concrete unless instructed to do so in the individual component instruction sections. June 11, 2020 902-293 6' IND.

Curved Sectional Slide-Roto-Molded Plastic SPECIAL SAFETY & ASTM COMPLIANCE NOTES CRITICAL MEASUREMENT IT IS EXTREMILY IMPORTANT THAT YOU MAINTAIN A MAXIMUM OF 3 1/2" DISTANCE BETWEEN THE BOTTOM, OR SIDES OF THE BUMP WAVE SLIDE ENTRANCE WALL AND THE NEAREST EDGE OF THE DECK OR POSTS. INSTALLATION TIPS & TROUBLE SHOOTING SportsPlay Equipment Inc. recommends pre-drilling the holes in the post when attaching a four-hole bracket with a number #7 drill bit. This will make the attachment of the four-hole bracket with the self-tapping screws easier and it will prevent damage to the screw head during installation. Apply locktite to all bolts during assembly prior to completely tightening them. Stainless Steel hardware can occasionally be difficult to use particularly if you need to take them out to make an adjustment. It is recommended that you add a drop of oil to bolts that may have to be removed before you install them. Do not tighten bolts all the way until the unit is completely assembled and all components are square and level. Identify and separate all parts by referencing the detail drawings and the parts list. As you unpack and separate the components use the cardboard sheets that were used for packing and shipping to prevent damage to the components. This is particularly true all Powder Coated and Thermoplastic coated components, by setting the components on top of the cardboard. June 11, 2020 5 BEFORE YOU BEGIN In addition to the components on the packing list you will need a drill with a ½" drill bit, tape measure, post hole digger, blocking material, level, and a dry erase marker.
