PART 5 - INSTALLATION:

Weather Conditions. - Because the polyurethane agents are moisture or heat sensitive, the
nighttime temperatures must be above 40 degrees with daytime temperatures around 50
degrees. These temperatures must be consistent for several days before and after the poured
rubber installation period. Complying with these weather conditions will prevent poured rubber

from freezing which prevents proper curing.

Thickness - Overall depth of the poured rubber will vary based on critical fall heights and
installers test results. Depth of EPDM/TPV will be no less than 0.5”. Installation is performed
by technically trained GameTime approved specialists. Your GameTime dealer will schedule
installation of playground surfacing to meet your requirements.

THICKNESS CHART _ - (Below depths include 0.5” EPDM/TPV Topcoat)

1' to 4' Critical Fall Height 1.5” to 2” Total Depth
5' Critical Fall Height 2” to 2.5” Total Depth
6' Critical Fall Height 2.5” to 3” Total Depth
7' to 8' Critical Fall Height 3” to 3.5" Total Depth
9' to 10' Critical Fall Height 4” to 4.5” Total Depth
11' to 12' Critical Fall Height 5.5” Total Depth

Cold Joints - Areas in excess of 2,000 square feet or areas that require adjacent color pours will
have a cold joint or seam. Although seldom visible, seams are necessary when large pads require

more than one day pours.

Edges - Surface edges shall be flush, beveled or rolled. It is important to advise what type of edge
will be required so that the appropriate amount of materials are ordered.

Flush_- When curbing is provided around the outside perimeters of the pad, the poured rubber
will be adhered to the edge of the curbing so that the rubber surfacing is flush. This allows for a
smooth transition into the play area. However, the sub-base should be installed to allow the
proper depth of poured rubber so that the flush edge can be installed without having to fill voids
by increasing the depth SBR materials. If the sub-base is not installed properly, using too much
of the SBR materials can cause the installer to run short on the cushion course which is require

a change order to add additional materials for the project.

Beveled - When curbing is not provided for concrete or asphalt sub-bases, the installers will
bevel the edge down along the edge of the pad. This type of edge can be sloped to provide a
smoother transition but will require additional materials. If beveled at the edge of the use zones,
the edge can be more round due to the depth of the poured rubber. In this case, you may want
to have a rolled edge added to allow a smooth transition for wheelchair users.

PART 5 - INSTALLATION (Continued)

ADA Rolled - This is the type of edge to meet the requirements of ASTM 1951, Specifications
for Determination of Accessibility of Surface Systems Under and Around Playground Equipment.
The rolled edge will require additional materials in order to provide adequate ADA Wheelchair
access. The total linear feet of the pad will need to be provided if the whole site is to be ADA
compliant.

Keyway Cut - This type of an edge requires a trenched saw cut of 12” wide x %” deep along the
edge of the concrete or asphalt pad. The contractor or customer will be responsible for providing
the keyway cut. There will be a up charge if the poured rubber installer is asked to provide this
cut. The poured rubber will be beveled down into the saw cut where it will adhere preventing the

exposure of a raw edge.

Cure Time - The poured rubber will require 72 hours (3 days) to properly cure. Security is required
by the owner during this time so to avoid unnecessary damages.

PART 6 - WARRANTY:

When used under playground equipment, GameTime's GT Impax recycled poured rubber is
warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for five years.

When used with water play equipment, GameTime's GT Impax recycled poured rubber is warranted
against defects in materials and workmanship for three years provided aliphatic binder is added.
Without the aliphatic binder, the GT Impax recycled poured rubber will carry only one year warranty.

Ask you GameTime representative for a copy of our full GT Impax recycled poured rubber warranty
details.

PART 7 - MAINTENANCE:
