SWING ASSEMBLY:
• Start by sliding the foam/metal bars into the 4 sleeves sewn into the outter portion of the swing to create a circular
shape.
• NOTE: all 4 bars should be facing the same direction so that the male/female connectors match up.
• Your swing should contain 2 ropes, each with 2 connecting rings at the bottom of each end. Lay the rope out with
each end adjacent to eachother at the connection points of the metal frame.
• Slide the plastic rings over the female ends of the metal bars.
• Make sure the ropes are not twisted, they should create an upside down V shape when the swing is fully assembled.
• Connect all the male and female ends together to create a complete circle.
• NOTE: You may need to push the foam away from the connection point to make room for assembly
• You should hear a “click” sound once the bars are secured.
• BE SURE TO CHECK ALL CONNECTION POINTS TO ENSURE THEYARE FULLY LOCKED AND SECURED
BEFORE USING THE SWING!

CHOOSING THE SITE:
• Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet, or any other hard
surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury or death to the equipment user. Due to the variety of
swing sets and places that this product can be suspended, we must urge caution when attaching the swing to your
structure.
• Protective surfacing under swings is recommended. “To and Fro” swings should have a fall zone extending a
minimum of 6 ft (2 m) from the outer edge of the support structure on each side. The “fall zone” in front and back of
the swing should extend out a minimum distance of twice the height of the swing as measured from the ground to
the top of the swing support structure. Swings should have a minimum of 8 in (20 cm) between them. (ASTM
F-1148-18) The bottom of a swing should not be less than 8 in (20 cm) above the protective surfacing material.
SURFACES: Maximum fall height is 84 in (213 cm), playground surface material should be 8.9 in (23 cm). See
“Outdoor Home Playground Safety Handbook” from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
SUPPORT STRUCTURES: Be certain that the overhead structure can support at least 500 lb (227 kg). If attaching
to a tree limb, make sure the tree is alive and healthy. Recommended diameter of tree limb is 10 in (25 cm) Before
anyone uses the swing, a stress/weight test should be performed (see step 3).
ATTACHING THE SKY SWING:
• Use the carabiners included with your product to attach the rope to your structure. Other suitable hardware (ie.
chain, links or fasteners) may be needed (not included).
• Attach the swing to your structure at 6-24 in(15-60 cm) off the ground.
• 2 Point attachment will swing in a lateral motion perpendicular to the support structure.
• 1 Point attachment will swing in a circular motion in any direction.
•ADJUSTING HEIGHT: Your swing has adjustable S-hooks that allow you to adjust the hanging height of the swing.
Recommended swing height is 12-18 in (30-45 cm) above the ground depending on the height of the rider.
MANDATORY LOAD STRESS TEST:
• First check all connections
• Have 2 Adults, whose combined weight is apx. 300 lb (136 kg), pull down together on the swing.
CAUTION: make sure they are in a safe position in case the branch or structure should come down. Gradually have
them apply all their combined weight. During this process, check for breaking or cracking.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR ADVENTURE SKY SWING
Take down your swing when not in use for long periods of time, this will help prevent UV damage
and weathering of materials and unsupervised usage.
At the beginning of each play season:
• Tighten all hardware - check all connections for any hint of looseness, damage, deterioration, excess wear, rope
fraying, breaks or sharp edges and replace as necessary.
• Lubricate all metallic moving parts per manufacturer’s instructions.
• Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are loose, cracked, or missing.
• Check all moving parts including swing seats, ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust, or other deterioration.
Replace as needed.
• Check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a nonlead-based paint meeting the requirements of
16 CFR 1303.
• Reinstall any plastic parts, such as swing seats or any other items that were removed for the cold season.
• Use only b4Adventure replacement parts
Once a month during play season:
• Lubricate all metallic moving parts per manufacturer’s instructions.
• Tighten all hardware - check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are
loose, cracked, or missing.
• Check all moving parts: including all grips for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace as needed.
• Perform the Load Stress test.
• If using a step ladder or other platform, inspect it every month for looseness, stability & wear.
Twice a month during play season:
• Tighten all hardware - Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are
loose, cracked, or missing.
• Rake and check depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain
appropriate depth. Replace as necessary.
At the end of each play season or when the temperature drops below 32° F (0° C):
• Inspect all parts for wear/damage. Replace as needed before next season of use.
• Take down your entire swing setup and store indoors.
• X.3.1.1 Loose-Fill Materials: Maintain a minimum depth of 9 in (23 cm) of loose-fill materials such as
wood mulch/chips, engineered wood fiber (EWF), or shredded/recycled rubber mulch for equipment up to
8 ft high (2.5 m); and 9 in (23 cm) of sand or pea gravel for equipment up to 5 ft (1.5 m) high. NOTE: An initial fill
level of 12 in (30 cm) will compress to about a 9 in (23 cm) depth of surfacing over time. The surfacing will also
compact, displace, and settle, and should be periodically refilled to maintain a least a 9 in (23 cm) depth.
