Mark center of mounting tab or plate hole. Using the proper size of drill bit noted in the Installation Table, drill into concrete to the appropriate hole depth (C). Step 2: Insert Anchor Bolt into hole and tighten until fully seated. Do not over tighten the anchors. NOTE: Always wear eye protection appropriate to the task at hand. Page 6 of 9

8 I n s t a l l a t i o n I n s t r u c t i o n s Installation: NOTE: Read installation instructions thoroughly before starting installation process. Step 1: Lay out area and prepare site for install. Concrete must be installed over a solid, level base. See product specification sheet for minimum use zone requirements to ensure proper spacing and adequate surfacing area. Step 2: Pour a concrete base for the Boulder. Refer to the Typical Slab Section on the Typical Footing page. This concrete should be flush with the sub-grade surface. Allow time for the concrete to completely cure before continuing. Step 3: Using appropriate equipment, place Boulder into final installation location. See the Hardware Recommendation page for information on anchoring equipment down to your slab. Refer to the surfacing manufacturer for installation of an approved impact attenuating play surface around the Boulder a minimum of 6 feet in every direction. NOTES PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION: - Use appropriate equipment to lift and move the play equipment. - Weather extremes and soil types vary. Please check local codes and requirements before installing any equipment. - Use extra shipping material and caution to ensure the surface of the product does not come in contact with the installation equipment.!

SPEC MIX-CONCRETE MIX WARNING AND DIRECTIONS WARNING: Keep out of reach of children. This product contains Portland cement. Avoid contact with skin. If case of eye contact, flush repeatedly with water and consult the nearest physician. RECOMMENDED TOOLS: You will need a clean empty bucket, a measuring container, margin trowel, steel trowel, a mixing stick, and a 1 2 heavy-duty drill with a mixing paddle if mixing more than 5 pounds of material at one time. MIXING: The recommended mixing ratio is approximately two parts of powder to one part by volume of water. Place the water in a clean bucket, and add the powder. Mix by hand, or with a mixing paddle and a drill to achieve the desired trowelable, lump-free consistency. Mechanical mixing with an electric drill will produce a creamier and smoother consistency without the need for additional water. INSTALLATION: Feather finish the concrete mix to the adjacent surfaces with a steel trowel. Apply sufficient pressure to fill all defects. Use a small bristle brush to texture and blend. THICKNESS OF INSTALLATION: Feather Finish Concrete Mix is used for a true featheredge from 0 thickness up to 1 2. The installation of Feather Finish can be done at any thickness in small, well-defined areas such as filling holes, joints, seams, cracks and thresholds, as well as for height transitions. CURING TIME: The time until Concrete Mix hardens will vary. For example, a skim-coat may be hard in 15 minutes. Thicker sections will require additional time. FINISH: After Concrete has cured, use appropriate color paint to blend color to surrounding paint colors. POT LIFE: Approximately minutes at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry area. Do not expose cans to sun. Tightly reseal can of unused product to retain freshness. SHELF LIFE: Six months in original unopened container. However, if the powder remains loose and dry it is usable. Efflorescence on Concrete: Efflorescence is caused when soluble salts and other water dispersible materials come to the surface of concrete and mortars. It's induced by low temperatures, moist conditions, condensation, rain, dew, and water added to the surface of fresh concrete to assist embossing. It can occur very soon after exposure to moist or cool conditions or gradually, especially when it comes from within the concrete. Any material containing portland cement results in efflorescence. The most usual reaction occurs when calcium hydroxide (lime) formed in the hydration reaction of portland cement (approximately 140 pounds per cubic yard of concrete) is transported by water to the surface through capillaries in the concrete. There it combines with carbon dioxide from the air to produce calcium carbonate (an insoluble material) and water. The easiest time to remove calcium hydroxide efflorescence is before it combines with carbon dioxide. Up to this time it will dissolve in water, so pressure washing or wet scrubbing will put it in solution with water so it can be rinsed away. NOTE: All concrete has naturally occurring hairline cracks and these are not product defects or structural in any way. Some of the small micro cracking may be more visible due to the efflorescence exposing it. Page 8 of 9

10 R o c k T o u c h - u p P a i n t I n s t r u c t i o n s Materials Included: - #1 Bosh Pear, Base Coat - #2 Fox Run, Hi-lite Coat - #3 Seal Skin, Wash Out Materials Needed: - Wire Brush - Two Sponges - Two Buckets Step 1: Prepare Area Lightly wire brush patch area and 2-3 beyond. Thoroughly clean off all dust and dirt. Step 2: Bosh Pear Base Coat Using a dry sponge, apply the Base coat. Thoroughly cover the patched area, then feather out into surrounding painted area. Try to feather out to an edge to allow for proper drying. Step 3: Fox Run Hi-lite Coat Mix 70/30 (Hi-Lite/Water). Using a dry sponge, rub over the patched area to obtain desired look. A second coat may be required to achieve desired look. Use a clean, damp sponge with water and (immediately) lightly rub over patched area to achieve desired finish. This must be done before Hi-lite paint dries. Once the desired look is obtained, let thoroughly dry. Step 4: Seal Skin Final Wash Out Mix 50/50 (Seal Skin/Water) using a damp sponge, dab over entire area with the Seal Skin wash. Using a second clean wet sponge and bucket of water, wipe over painted area. Repeat this process until desired look is achieved. WARNING: Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with skin. In case of eye contact, flush repeatedly with water and consult the nearest physician. Always use protective eyewear and gloves.
