Air Riderz MM00151 User manual

Installation instructions
TREE LIMB ASSEMBLY: Test tree limb to ensure that it will hold the weight limit of 200 lbs. safely.
SWING SET OR OTHER HORIZONTAL BEAM ASSEMBLY: Aach swing to a swing set by removing two sets of swings from the exisng swing set and aach
the spring clips to the chain support hooks.
1. Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet or any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard sur-
face can result in serious injury or death to the equipment user.
2. To prevent serious injury, children must not use the equipment unl properly installed.
3. Conrm that the supporng structure is secure, it will support at least 200 lbs., is over level ground, has a minimum height of 7 . and is no less
than 6 . on all sides from vercal elements. Swing should have a clearance of at least 1.5 mes the total length of all the rope measured from
the tree limb/horizontal beam to the spring clip(s) aachment point.
4. The Air Riderz® swing has adjustable hardware (S hooks) that let you customize the height of your swing from the ground. Adjust swing hanging
length so plaorm is parallel with ground. Boom of swing should be no more than 24 in. and no less than 18 in. from the ground. Ensure that
the swing hangs horizontal aer adjustment of the ropes.
5. Never add extra length to chain or rope. The chains or ropes provided are the maximum length designed for the swinging element(s).
operation instructions
1. An adult should supervise play on this product for children of all ages.
2. Only for family residenal domesc use.
3. Design for mul-rider use. 200 lb. maximum load
4. Max fall height 6.5 . (determined by swing pivot point, maximum hanging rope length and 24 in. above ground surface)
5. WARNING: Riders should be dressed appropriately including wearing well-ng shoes that fully protect feet. Remove arcles before swinging that
create hazards when they get tangled and caught (examples include: ponchos, scarves, and other loose-ng clothing, bike or sports helmets.)
6. INSTRUCT CHILDREN: Not to swing higher than hook aachment • Get o swing only aer it has completely stopped and hold onto the rope
or chain unl both feet are planted rmly on the ground • Not to twist swing chains or ropes or loop them over the top support bar since this
may reduce the strength of the chain or rope • To avoid swinging empty seats • Not to walk close to, in front of, or behind, or between moving
items • To sit in center of the swings with their full weight on the seats • Not to use the equipment in a manner other than intended • Not to
aach items to the playground equipment that are not specically designed for use with the equipment, such as, but not limited to, jump ropes,
clothesline, pet leashes, cables and chain as they may cause a strangulaon hazard • Do not climb swing when it is wet • When the swing is in
direct sunlight, check that seang surface is not too hot
SELECTIVE PROTECTIVE SURFACING
One of the most important things you can do to reduce the likelihood of serious head injuries is to install shock-absorbing protecve surfacing under and
around your play equipment. The protecve surfacing should be applied to a depth that is suitable for the equipment height in accordance with ASTM
F1292. There are dierent types of surfacing to choose from; whichever product you select, follow these guidelines. (See gure 2) NOTE—Do not install
home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, or any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to the equipment user.
Grass and dirt are not considered protecve surfacing because wear and environmental factors can reduce their shock absorbing eecveness. Carpeng
and thin mats are generally not adequate protecve surfacing. Ground level equipment such as a sandbox, acvity wall, playhouse or other equipment that
has no elevated play surface-does not need any protecve surfacing.

LOOSE-FILL MATERIALS
• Maintain a minimum depth of 9 in. of loose-ll materials such as wood mulch/
chips, engineered wood ber (EWF), or shredded/recycled rubber mulch for
equipment up to 96 in. high; and 9 in. of sand or pea gravel for equipment up to 60
in. high. NOTE: An inial ll level of 12 in. will compress to about a 9 in. depth of
surfacing over me. The surfacing will also compact, displace, and sele, and should
be periodically relled to maintain at least a 9 in. depth.
• Use a minimum of 6 in. of protecve surfacing for play equipment less than 48 in. in
height. If maintained properly, this should be adequate. (At depths less than 6 in.,
the protecve material is too easily displaced or compacted.)
• Use containment, such as digging out around the perimeter and/or lining the perim-
eter with landscape edging. Don’t forget to account for water drainage.
• Check and maintain the depth of the loose-ll surfacing material. To maintain the
right amount of loose-ll materials, mark the correct level on play equipment support posts. That way you can easily see when to replenish and/
or redistribute the surfacing.
• Do not install loose ll surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.
POURED-IN-PLACE SURFACES OR PRE-MANUFACTURED RUBBER TILES: You may be interested in using surfacing other than loose-ll materials– like
rubber les or poured-in-place surfaces.
• Installaons of these surfaces generally require a professional and are not “do-it-yourself” projects.
• Review surface specicaons before purchasing this type of surfacing. Ask the installer/ manufacturer for a report showing that the product has
been tested to the following safety standard: ASTM F1292 Standard Specicaon for Impact Aenuaon of Surfacing Materials within the Use
Zone of Playground Equipment. This report should show the specic height for which the surface is intended to protect against serious head
injury. This height should be equal to or greater than the fall height-vercal distance between a designated play surface (elevated surface for
standing, sing, or climbing) and the protecve surfacing below-of your play equipment.
• Check the protecve surfacing frequently for wear.
PLACEMENT: Proper placement and maintenance of protecve surfacing is essenal. Be sure to:
• Extend surfacing at least 72 in. from the equipment in all direcons.
• For to-and-fro swings, extend protecve surfacing in front of and behind the swing to a distance equal to twice the height of the top bar from
which the swing is suspended.
• For re swings, extend surfacing in a circle whose radius is equal to the height of the suspending chain or rope, plus 6 feet in all direcons.
maintenance instructions
At the BEGINNING of each play season:
• Check all moving parts including swing seats, ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust, or other deterioraon. Replace as needed;
• Check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a non-lead-based paint meeng the requirements of 16 CFR 1303;
• Reinstall any plasc parts, such as swing seats or any other items that were removed for the cold season;
• Rake and check depth of loose ll protecve surfacing materials to prevent compacon and to maintain appropriate depth. Replace as necessary.
TWICE A MONTH DURING play season:
• Rake and check depth of loose ll protecve surfacing materials to prevent compacon and to maintain appropriate depth. Replace as necessary.
ONCE A MONTH DURING play season:
• Check all moving parts including swing seats, ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust, or other deterioraon. Replace as needed.
At the END of each play season or when the temperature drops below 32°F:
• Remove plasc swing seats and other items as specied by the manufacturer and take indoors or do not use;
• Rake and check depth of loose ll protecve surfacing materials to prevent compacon and to maintain appropriate depth. Replace as necessary;
• Owners shall be responsible for maintaining the legibility of the warning labels.
When you are ready to dispose of swing, make sure that all swing components are disposed of in accordance with local waste ordinances. The seat of this swing
can be recycled. Remaining parts should be disassembled and disposed of in such a way that no unreasonable hazards exist at me the swing is discarded.
WARNING: Failure to carry out these checks and inspecons could result in fall or injury.
