PREPARATION, HANDLING AND INSTALLATIONThe installer must provide verification to the crane operator prior to the commencement of the work.
Prior to commencing the handling and/or erection of precast concrete elements, the following items should be considered by the installer:(1) Check crane/reach fork access to the site and slab to prevent cranes or trucks damaging the installation site.(2) Clear the site for truck and crane access ensuring room for crane outriggers, counterweight tail swing, boom swing and under hook and overhead obstructions.(3) Determine if it is necessary to equalize loads on lifting points.(4) Ensure that the appropriate rigging equipment is available (i.e. slings or chains).(5) The lifting equipment should be attached to the precast product by a competent person and the immediate area cleared in preparation for lifting.(6) Under no circumstances should anyone pass or stand beneath a suspended element or between the suspended element and the lifting equipment.(7) Consideration must be given to the effect of wind upon the safe handling and installation of products
RIGGINGSetting up a rigging system for installing precast elements requires careful and thorough pre-planning. Special care must be taken with rigging arrangements where unequal loadings.
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 phone number shown on the last page of these instructions.
Step 2: The T-Rex Hatched Egg should be off loaded and set in place using a Bob-Cat, Fork-Lift or Grade-All of an appropriate size to handle the weight. Place two straps around the boulder, as shown in Detail A, to ensure stability when moving the boulder to the desired location. Straps should also be appropriate to sustain the weight of the boulder. Ensure that the play site is level with adequate protective surfacing. Soil type should be Type V or better per IBC Table 1804.2.A footing is not required.
Detail ANote: Product is designed to sit on grade level.
NO CONCRETE BASE IS NEEDED (SEE STEP 2).

T-Rex Hatched Egg· Inspect all climbing surfaces for sharp points, cracks or jagged edges. If any damage is detected and is determined to be unsafe, barricade the T-Rex Hatched Egg to prevent use until the repair is completed. Repairs can be made using the Playworld Dino color touch-up kit and following the instructions contained with these instructions. · Wash the T-Rex Hatched Egg with a power washer. This will keep any loose debris and/or mud from collecting on the climbing surfaces that could hinder the grip of a climber.
Surfacing· Due to the risk and nature of climbing, protective fall surfacing material becomes one of the most important elements of the park. A protective fall surfacing material is required around all Dino pieces and therefore carries a High Frequency inspection.

__Notes Before You Begin: Please read and understand these instructions before beginning the repair process.
__1: Ensure that you give yourself enough time to color the boulder effectively.
__2: Always wear appropriate eye protection when using any of these repair materials.
__3: Separate and identify all tools and materials.
__4: Ensure that the stain is dry before moving to the next color. On a hot, sunny day this may take a few minutes, but on a cold day it will take a lot longer.
__5: In the event the information regarding the stain is lost; refer to the Behr’s website:www.behr.com/behrx/act/view/products?catId=5&sc_name=Concrete+Floor+CoatingsThen click on the Solid Color Concrete Stain No. 800.
__6: If extra supplies are required to complete the task; they may be found at your local hardware or home store. If the repair requires more stain than what has been provided, it can be purchased at your local Home Depot. It is the Solid Color Concrete Stain manufactured by Behr. The chart below lists the color names and codes required for the boulders.

Required Tools: Caulk gun, and a bottle of water. Items from Kit: Caulk, small paint brushes, 3 mixing cups, and
concrete stain.
Step 1: Fill the Bolt Holes
Filling and Painting Bolt Holes
Fill the bolt holes with the caulk that has been provided in the kit. Use only enough caulk to fi ll the hole. Don’t try and blend it into the surrounding boulder. Keep the caulk area to a minimum.
Step 2: Spread out the Caulk
Moisten your fi nger and spread out the caulk in the hole to ensure that it is totally fi lled. The caulk doesn’t have to be completely smooth. Variation will help it blend into the surrounding texture. Allow the caulk to cure according to the directions on the package.
Step 3: Mix the Base Color
Select the base color of the boulder (the Slate Boulder uses the Natural Slate stain color and the Desert Sand Boulder uses the Saddleback stain color). Dilute the stain by adding 4 parts water to 1 part stain in one of the mixing cups. An example would be 4 ounces of water to 1 ounce of stain. Stir to blend the liquids.

Filling and Painting Bolt Holes
Step 4: Apply the Base Color
Apply the base color to the caulk using a small paint brush. Completely cover the caulk without fading the paint into the surrounding area. Keeping the painted area to a minimum will make it less visible.
Step 5: Mix the Highlight Colors
The highlight colors can now be diluted and mixed in one of the mixing cups. The formula is the same for the highlight colors as the base color: 4 parts water to 1 part stain. - For Slate use Gun Metal - For Desert Tan use Coranado
Step 6: Apply the Highlight Colors
Allow the base stain to dry before applying the highlight colors. The stain can either be applied by dabbing the boulder with a brush or fl icking the paint from the brush. The idea is just to give a little color variation so a little goes a long way.
Repeat Steps 5 and 6 for all of the highlight colors in the order listed below.
Add the highlight colors in the following order:Slate – Gun Metal, Ice White, and BlackDesert Tan – Coronado, Chestnut Brown, and Black

Dilute the stain by adding 4 parts water to 1 part stain in one of the mixing cups. An example would be 4 ounces of water to 1 ounce of stain. Stir to blend the liquids.
Step 2: Apply the Base Color
Apply the base color to the scuffed area using a small paint brush. Completely cover the scuffed area without fading the paint into the surrounding area. Keep the painted area to a minimum to make color matching easier.
Step 3: Mix the Highlight Colors
The highlight colors can now be diluted and mixed into one of the mixing cups. The formula is the same for the highlight colors as the base color: 4 parts water to 1 part stain. - For Slate use Gun Metal - For Desert Tan use Coranado

Large Damage Repair
Required Tools: Pry bar or claw hammer, wire brush, propane torch, water sprayer or garden hose.
Items from Kit: Concrete Stain, concrete sealer, 3 mixing cups, 2 spray bottles, and 2 small paint brushes.
Step 1: Remove Sharp Edges Use a hard object such as a pry bar or the back of a claw hammer to break the
sharp edges of the damaged area if it is too rough. This will ensure that the boulder will be safe to climb as well as blend the area with the rest of the boulder.
Step 2: Remove Loose Debris
Brush the damaged area thoroughly with a wire brush to remove all of the loose debris.
Step 3: Flame the Concrete Fibers
The fi bers may be visible if a section of the boulder has been broken off. The most effective method of removing the fi bers is to fl ame (or melt) the fi bers with a small fl ame. A very short contact time will be suffi cient to melt the fi bers.

Step 4: Wet the Area
Wet the damaged and surrounding areas with a sprayer or garden hose. This is an important step for three reasons:1. The water makes it apparent to the user exactly where the stain needs to be applied.2. The water will remove the dust to ensure that there is a clean surface for the stain.3. It will prevent the stain from drying onto the rest of the boulder surfaces
Step 5: Dilute the Stain
Select the base color of the boulder (Slate is Natural Slate and Desert Sand is Saddleback) to start. Dilute the stain by adding 4 parts water to 1 part stain in a small hand sprayer. An example would be 4 ounces of water to 1 ounce of stain. Shake the bottle to ensure that it is mixed properly.
Step 6: Test Spray and Lay Color Use a scrap piece of cardboard to practice spraying the stain. Adjust the sprayer
nozzle so that the stain is emitted as a mist instead of a spray. Spray the damaged area until it is covered. Do not try to fade it into the surrounding area.

Step 7: Immediately Wash Immediately wash the surrounding area (Not the damaged area) with the sprayer
or hose. The water will remove any overspray and runs that may be present.
Step 8: Mix the Highlight Colors
The highlight colors can now be diluted and mixed into one of the mixing cups. The formula is the same for the highlight colors as the base color: 4 parts water to 1 part stain. - For Slate use Gun Metal - For Desert Tan use Coranado
Step 9: Apply the Highlight Colors
Allow the base stain to dry before applying the highlight colors. The stain can either be applied by dabbing the boulder with a brush or fl icking the paint from the brush. The idea is just to give a little color variation so a little goes a long way.
Repeat steps 8 and 9 for all of the highlight colors in the order listed below.
Add the highlight colors in the following order:Slate – Gun Metal, Ice White, and BlackDesert Tan – Coronado, Chestnut Brown, and Black

INTRODUCTION
Playworld Systems® has developed this guide to assist the owner/operators in the maintenance of our Climbing Boulders. To properly accomplish this task, we recommend the development of a comprehensive maintenance program, which include proper documentation, and prompt repair of any discovered problems. Periodic inspections should be conducted on a scheduled basis to evaluate structural integrity, wear conditions, and condition of protective fall surfacing material for each Climbing Boulder.
Maintenance is a very important part in the safe operation of a bouldering park. Every agency needs to develop its own criteria for establishing a frequency for scheduled preventive maintenance inspections. Frequency of maintenance is affected by various elements such as usage, environment, and vandalism. There is no ideal, clear-cut or generic maintenance standard or schedule that could be applied to each and every site therefore; it is highly recommended that each owner/operator establish its own set of maintenance standards, based upon a sound, written maintenance plan established by its own resources and needs.
High Frequency - The high frequency inspection is to check for protective fall surfacing problems, vandalism, and debris that could lead to a hazardous situation. This is a visual inspection and must be performed daily.
· Due to the risk and nature of bouldering, protective fall surfacing material becomes one of the most important elements of the park. A protective fall surfacing material is required around all Climbing Boulders and therefore carries a High Frequency inspection.
Medium Frequency - The medium frequency inspection is to check for problems due to usage and the environment. This inspection is more detailed and requires physical examination of the Climbing Boulders.
Low Frequency - The low frequency inspection is more detailed than the medium frequency in that structural related items must be inspected.
