house, overhanging branches, laundry lines or electrical wires.
• Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, carpet, or any other hard
surface.
• Risk of serious head injury or death may result from falls from equipment placed over hard surfaces.
• Choose a clear area for the NINJALINE™ with a sturdy anchor point, such as a healthy tree* 36 in (91 cm)
circumference or 12 in (30 cm) diameter is recommended or a pole or post that can handle at least 2,500 lb
(1134 kg) on both ends.
*If you are unsure about the health of your selected tress, consult with an arborist or professional contractor.
• It is also recommended that you place cushioning materials in and around your course - See Public
Playground Safety Handbook: Visit: www.cpsc.gov//PageFiles/122149/325.pdf. for specifications.
• There shall be a use zone for each play structure which shall consist of obstacle-free surfacing that conforms to
Specification F1292 appropriate for the fall height of the equipment.
• The minimum use zone for play equipment shall extend no less than 72 in (183 cm) from all sides of the play
structure.

NINJA GRIP CLIPS: Your set may include additional clips that can be used to extend the play area on the
NINJALINE™ by adding more obstacles on the ends of the line, outside of where pockets are sewn. See below for
instructions on how to attach your obstacles using the Ninja Grip Clips.
NINJALINE™SET UP
• Make sure the SLACKERS logo is FACE UP. Feed the line thorugh the line protectors (Figure 1) and slide down
to the end of each line (Figure 2).
• Take Ratchet Line: wrap around tree and tighten (Figure 3). TIP: to keep you line flat, pinch the line to form a
U-shape section where it feeds through the looped end (Figure 4).
• Take Slackline walking line and wrap around the opposite tree and tighten keeping line flat and not twisted.
TIGHTENING THE NINJALINE™
• The ratchet will only take up about 1 ft of line. You must pull the line tight before using the ratchet. Be sure that
the line is not twisted prior to using the ratchet to tension the line.
STEP 1
Start by feeding the
line through the top
opening of the clip
STEP 2
Make sure the line is flat
inside the clip, with the open-
ing facing upward
STEP 3
Pull the line through the
bottom of the clip to create
a U shape
STEP 4
Insert the Delta carabiner
into the U shape and pull
the line outside the clip taut.
*Note: The Delta carabiner should be centered between the 2 divits on the inside of the clip

Pull the release
lever to open the
ratchet. (open slot
on axle should be
facing up).
Thread the strap
through the bottom of
the ratchet. The
ratchet handle should
be on top so you can
move it to tighten.
Pull the line
through until the
line is tight
Crank the ratchet to
tension the line. Once
line is taught, secure the
ratchet by closing it
completely and slide the
ratchet cover over the
ratchet and excess line

MANDATORY LOAD STRESS TEST
Step 1: Make sure all your connections are tight (see step 4)
Step 2: MANDATORY LOAD STRESS TEST YOUR LINE. Using either a 250 Lbs (113 Kg) weight or person, have
them test the NINJALINE™ by suspending the weight 5 ft. (1.5 m) from each end of the line.
RELEASING THE RATCHET
• To release the ratchet, pull up the vinyl coated gate inside the ratchet handle and open all the way until flat.
EXPECT A “POP”
• The second release gate should open, releasing the spool and the line tension should “pop” open with webbing
releasing (Figure 5).
• Continue to pull on the line until there is little tension left. Slide the remaining line out of the ratchet.
• Troubleshooting: If you ratchet too much of your line, you may experience difficulty releasing the line. Do your
best to lay the ratchet open and completely flat. If you cannot lay the ratchet flat, try pulling the gate and the spring
loaded piece on the opposite side of the gate at the same time, pulling in opposite directions (Figure 6). You may
need another person to help free the line while you hold the ratchet open. If this does not work, try leaving the
ratchet all the way open for several hours (overnight if possible), sometimes gravity and the weight of the ratchet
will allow the line to release naturally. If still experiencing difficulty removing your line from the ratchet, please call
customer service at 1-844-834-4334.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR SWING LINE™
Take down your SWING LINE when not in use for long periods of time, this will help prevent UV damage and
weathering of the line and unsupervised usage.
Store your line, obstacles and these instructions in the bag provided so you will have them handy the next time
your set up your course.
At the beginning of each play season:
• Tighten all hardware-check the line, ratchet, Delta clips and all connections for any hint of looseness, damage,
deterioration, excess wear, rope fraying, breaks or sharp edges and replace as necessary.
• Lubricate all metallic parts: Delta clips so they open and close smoothly. Line ratchet for smooth tightening
operation. Use a light grease or lubricating oil.
• Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are loose, cracked, or
missing.
• Check all wooden members for deterioration and splinters. Sand down splinters and replace deteriorating wood
members.
• Check all moving parts: including all grips for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace as needed.
• Check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a non-lead-based paint meeting the
• requirements of 16 CFR 1303.
• Use only b4Adventure replacement parts
Once a month during play season:
• Lubricate all metallic parts: Delta clips so they open and close smoothly. Line ratchet for smooth tightening
operation. Use a light grease or lubricating oil.
• 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 before next season of use.
• Take down your entire NINJALINE setup and clean with a mild soap and water solution. Let dry and then 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. (2.5 m)
high; 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.
