ASSEMBLY:
Remove the parts from the packaging and check that they are
complete. Check that each rope harness is correctly assembled
as shown in the Diagram 1, Assembly instructions.
Place the swing platform on the ground. Insert the foam-
covered tube frame pieces into each of the four side loops.
Connect the four tube frame pieces together. Ensure that one
narrow end and one wide end is put together in each case.
Align the holes in both pieces, insert the bolt with a washer
through the aligned holes and place another washer and a nut
on the opposite end. Tighten using the wrench provided.
While the nut has a nylon sleeve designed to keep the bolt
from loosening, we recommend that the nut be checked for
looseness before each use.
Always supervise children and teach them to use the equip-
ment safely.
Tuck in all clothing that can get caught on playground
equipment and remove loose accessories such as scarves or
dress-up capes.
Only use under direct supervision of an adult! This product
must be used with caution, to avoid falls or collisions causing
injury to the user or third parties. Before use, check all parts
for proper fit and ensure that all locking devices are secure.
Only suitable for private, domestic use. The owners of the
swing, as well as competent supervisory personnel, are
responsible for ensuring that all users enjoy this product in a
safe manner.
Do not make any modifications to this product. Adjustments
must only be carried out according to these instructions.
Keep others a safe distance away from the swing when in use.
Never stand or kneel on the swing. Always hold firmly with
both hands.
No objects of any kind must be in the vicinity of the swing
area (trees, walls, fences, clothes lines, etc.). Make sure that
the ground is level, shock absorbing, and without any sharp
edges, pointed objects, obstacles, inclines, differing levels,
steps or hard surfaces. Rake surface periodically to prevent
compaction and maintain appropriate depths.
Make sure that you have a safety clearance, in front and back,
of at least 2 m (80 in) beyond the maximum reach of the
swing. Clearance between the swing and stationary compo-
nents, such as swing scaffolding, must be at least 40 cm (16 in)
on each side. The swing must be at least 40 cm (16 in) but no
higher than 2.5 m (99 in) measured from the ground. Other
swinging components, such as a neighbouring swing, must
be placed at a distance of at least 60 cm (24 in) away,
measured while at rest.
Constant exposure to UV in sunlight can lead to fading of the
colour, but will not affect performance or safety of the swing.
The swing should be dismantled and stored indoors if not
used for an extended period of time.
Take off bicycle helmets before using playground equipment.
Bicycle helmets can get caught on equipment and strangle a
child.
Check playground equipment for ropes. Do not let children
tie ropes or skipping ropes to playground equipment.
HANGING THE SWING AND ROPE ADJUSTMENT:
Please note that this swing is designed to be used and hung from
an existing swing set in place of a conventional swing with
sufficiently strong swing hooks and a nylon bearing. This swing
does not include mounting hardware for any other type of
installation.
Hang the swing from a suitable swing frame using the retaining
rings (Diagram 1). Hanging points must be at least as far apart as
the swing seat is wide plus an additional 10 cm (4 in). The swing
has two ropes and adjustment loops so that the height of the
swing can be adjusted to fit any suitable hanging device. The
swing ropes can be lengthened or shortened by pushing or
pulling it through the adjustment loops. No one should sit on the
swing while making adjustments. When making adjustments,
ensure that the ropes remain the same length on both sides.
Differing rope lengths will cause undesirable circular pendulum
motion of the swing. If in doubt, perform a few gentle swings.
WARNING: Children have died when their clothing or draw-
strings have been caught on playground equipment or on
fences. Children have also died when they became entangled on
ropes or skipping ropes attached to playground equipment.
WARNING: Please retain this information for future reference.
Supports total weight of up to 50 kg (110 lb).
