Installation Instructions
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.
• Excavate 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 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.
Installation Guidelines • Identify all parts and thoroughly read the assembly instructions before beginning construction.
Tools Required: Playworld Systems® supplies a service kit that contains commonly used hex key wrenches required to assemble your equipment. You may also need: shovel, digging iron, post hole digger, steel rake, wheelbarrow, garden hoe, water hose, tape measure, level, alignment tool, 3/8" ratchet with 9/16" socket, and 9/16" combination wrench.
• Refer to your playground equipment plan and footing diagram to assure the equipment purchased will fit into your selected site area. The use and noencroachment zones around the play equipment shall be obstacle-free areas designated for unrestricted circulation. • 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.
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.
• 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.

Installation Instructions 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.

Model XX1051 ECN641
Introduction We are delighted to present our Triple Shootout, one of the most innovative basket games ever invented. The number of exciting and educational games that can be played with the Triple Shootout is limited only by the imagination. The key to creating games is to be aware of the game’s ‘variables’ and use them creatively and in conjunction with one another. Here are some of the most important variables, along with suggestions for their use. • The Height of the Buckets: Each bucket on the three sided post can be placed at a variety of heights or all at the same height. This leads to many creative uses: 1. Change the point value of a bucket based on it’s height. For example, the highest bucket is worth 3 points, the middle bucket is worth 2 points and the low bucket is worth 1 point. 2. Match the height of the bucket to the height of the users. 3. Match the height of the bucket to the age of the users. • The Sizes/Shape of the Field: There is no ‘standard’ playing field configuration, so get creative. Here are just a few ideas: 1. Create three pie-shaped wedges from the post to coincide with each of the three baskets. Players must stay within their zone during the game.
2. Create one or more circles around the post. Players must stay within their circle. 3. Combine circles and wedges for some really intriguing variations. • The Color of the Buckets: When ordering the Triple Shootout you can select from several different colors of buckets. This offers variations similiar to the ones discussed in ‘The Height of the Buckets’. For example: 1. Different colors are worth different points. 2. Different colors can be assigned to different teams or ages. • The Surfacing: The Triple Shootout can be installed on nearly any surfacing, making it highly adaptable for a wide variety of situations. Because of this option, you can create a variety of options geared to the surface you have chosen.
There are even more exciting variations when you begin to combine several of the above variables into one new game. We have created just a few interesting games for you to try. These have been tested in an elementary school environment and met with great approval from teachers and kids. They had fun! Why not create your own games or have the children get involved in creating their own special games for the Triple Shootout? You will find a great joy and sense of achievement when you involve the kids in the creative process. If you create a ‘winner’ and wish to share it with us to be included in the future instructions, please draw the game and rules similiar to those attached and send it to us at: Playworld Systems Attn: Marketing Department 1000 Buffalo Road Lewisburg, PA 17837-9757
For example: 1. On a grassy surface, you can develop games that do not require dribbling. 2. On a hard surface, you can develop games that require dribbling or even bouncing the ball into the basket.
