Description
Our play equipment is constructed from rotomolded polyethylene, a highly durable material that can withstand harsh weather conditions. These bright and colorful play pieces are designed to resist fading, ensuring they maintain their vibrant appearance for a long time. The spring system is enclosed by a rubber boot, which minimizes the risk of pinching and guarantees a smooth ride for your child. Heat-applied decals make sure that they won’t fade and are resistant to vandalism. The plate is 9¼″ square, with four holes positioned 1” from the edge of the plate, and 7¼″ center to center. The bottom of the duck is 13¼” off the ground, while the seat sits 25½” above the ground. All of our play equipment comes with the necessary hardware for easy installation.
Colors: Blue with yellow bill
This spring rider is intended for children 4 – 12 years old only. It is designed for use by one child at a time. Adults should always supervise children at all times. Do not allow children to stand on or use unsafely. Do not allow it to be used if damaged.
IMPORTANT: Please read for important information. In this material we have tried to provide some requirements stated in the CPSC Handbooks, ASTM F2373-11, F1487-11 and F1148-09. However, we in no way intend for this to be a complete list of requirements. Also, these publications are updated frequently with changes therefore, you should read these publications yourself to determine if any part or installation could prove a danger to a child.
To help keep children safe from harm, review installation and maintenance instructions before installing equipment. These instructions are located in the description of every product on our website. Download and print these instructions and keep in a safe place. Our website also has a “Product Testing Information” page. All products are tested for lead, phthalates and tensile strength. You can also call us at 1-800-227-7529.
Regardless of lower heat transfer properties, plastic play equipment can still become hot enough in extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to cause burns. Plastic slides are safe, tried and true, but as is the case with all playground equipment, parents and supervisors must monitor the children in their care, make certain that the equipment is appropriate for their age, and always check playground surfaces for excessive heat before allowing children to play. For more information, contact IPEMA headquarters at www.communications@ipema.org or by calling 1717‐238‐1744.
Installation: Our parts are sold as either replacement parts or components of a set, unless you are buying our Metal Frame Set, therefore these parts need to be installed according to the set’s installation instructions. If the installation instructions differ from ours please contact us at 800-227-7529.
For toddler’s seat should be between 12 – 16” high. For preschooler seat should be between 14 – 28” high. The use zone should be a minimum of 6’ from the “at rest” perimeter of equipment. It may overlap in certain instances. See CPSC for more information. Determine correct footing locations and dig footings. The hole size may vary depending on local soil, weather conditions and local laws. Attach spring to bottom plate using SPR casting.
Pour concrete into footing hole and level off. Using 9 1/4” x 9 1/4” bottom plate on assembled spring as a template, insert ½” anchor bolts into the concrete. Remove spring assembly. Allow to set 2 – 3 days.
NOTE: Allow enough thread on anchor bolts to secure bottom plate to footing.
Place assembled body into position. Attach bottom plate to anchor bolts using ½” lock nuts and ½” flat washers. Tighten nuts and bolts. Install resilient surfacing material.
Maintenance: At beginning and end of each play season and once a month during play season, check for cracks, rust, missing or loose hardware or evidence of vandalism. Make sure there are no tears in rubber boot that children could get their fingers pinched in spring. Tighten and lubricate all metallic moving parts. Replace as needed. Make sure there are no exposed footings, anchoring devices, rocks, roots, holes or any other obstacles in or around spring animals. Maintain detailed inspection and maintenance records for public-use playground equipment.
Any damage from vandalism, abuse or misuse VOIDS all warranties.
