CAUTION: If you are not familiar with construction, please use a qualied
general contractor to install. Improper installation may cause injury. Swinging
with the Hardwood Skateboard Swing involves an inherent risk that can cause
serious injury or even death. Hardwood Skateboard Swing is more dangerous
than a regular skateboard. Head injuries and strangulation is possible
and can cause brain injury. Use with caution. Purchaser and users assume
all risk, responsibility, and liability for use of the Hardwood Skateboard
Swing, including any resulting loss or damage to persons or property. Bliss
Hammocks, Inc. assumes no liability arising from the use and application
of this product and specically disclaims any and all consequential and
incidental damages.
SAFETY: Before using the Hardwood Skateboard Swing, inspect your
Hardwood Skateboard Swing, tree straps, installation points and objects
supporting your Hardwood Skateboard Swing for wear or weakness. Make
sure the straps are not frayed. Tighten all hardware. Check metal parts for
rust. Always make sure your Hardwood Skateboard Swing and tree are in
good condition before using it. Proceed carefully and take your time installing
it. Misuse or rough play may result in falls and may wear out your Hardwood
Skateboard Swing and hardware prematurely. Children of all ages should
be supervised when using the Hardwood Skateboard Swing. Make sure to
leave more than enough room in between the Hardwood Skateboard Swing,
obstacles, and people surrounding its installation area. Instruct children to
remove their bike or other sports helmet before playing on the playground
equipment. Empty your pockets of all hard or sharp objects. Do not attempt
to ride more than one person on the Hardwood Skateboard Swing. Do not
use headphones while using the Hardwood Skateboard Swing.
OPERATING INFORMATION: Instruct children not to walk close to, in front
of, behind, or between moving items. Instruct children to sit in the center of
the swings with their full weight on the seats. Instruct children 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. Instruct children not to swing an
empty swing. Instruct children not to use the equipment in a manner other
than intended. Make sure children do not climb when equipment is wet.
Make sure children are not wearing inappropriate items, such as but are
not limited to loose tted clothing, hood and neck drawstrings, scarves,
cord connected items, capes and ponchos. These items can cause death
my strangulation. Make sure children do not get off equipment while it is in
motion. Instruct children not to attach the item to the playground equipment
that is 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 strangulation hazard. Make sure to dress children with well-tting and
full foot enclosing footwear. Examples of inappropriate footwear are clogs,
ip ops, and sandals. Never add extra length to chain or rope. The chains
or ropes provided are the maximum lengths designed for the swinging
elements(s).
DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS: Disassemble and dispose of the playground
equipment in such a way that no unreasonable hazards will exist at the time
the equipment is discarded. Follow all local disposal requirements.

CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET FOR PLAYGROUND
SURFACING MATERIALS
The U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that
about 100,000 playground equipment related injuries resulting from falls
to the ground surface are treated annually in the U.S hospital emergency
rooms. Injuries involving this hazard pattern tend to be among the most
serious of all playground injuries, and have the potential to be fatal,
particularly when the injury is to the head. The surface under and around
the playground equipment can be a major factor in determining the
injury causing potential of a fall. It is self evident that a fall onto a shock-
absorbing surface is less than likely to cause a serious injury than a fall
onto a hard surface. Playground equipment should never be placed on
hard surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, carpet, grass or any other hard
surface. Grass may appear to be acceptable, it may turn to hard packed
earth in areas of high trafc. Shredded bark, wood chips, nd sand or
ne gravel are considered to be acceptable shock-absorbing surfaces
when installed and maintained at a sufcient depth under and around
playground equipment. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious in
injury or death to the equipment user.

feet (2.4m) from its trunk and has a circumference** between 25
1
/
4
to 100 inches
(64.1 to 254cm). The tree branch should be at least 8 feet (2.4m) from the ground.
The tree trunk should have a circumference of at least 25
1
/
4
inches (64.1cm). The
tree and its branch should be strong enough to hold at least 200 lbs. (90.7 kgs.)***.
Clear the surrounding ground of debris prior to installing your swing. Make sure
the tree branch does not stretch: into a road, sidewalk, or street; over a
fence; someone else’s property; or any other obstacle.
*The tree branch must allow at least 12 inches (30.5cm) of clearance between the skateboard swing
& ground. The skateboard swing ropes are about 66 inches (167.6cm) in length.
**9-ft tree straps can only wrap around a tree branch of a max 100-inch (254cm) circumference.
Helpful hint: wrap tree straps around the tree branch for height adjusting purposes.

USING THE FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS
CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET FOR PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS
**The maximum fall height for this product is 60 in (152 cm).
We recommend using 6 in (15 cm) of Double Shredded Bark Mulch. **
Table 1 lists the maximum height from which a child would not be
expected to sustain a life-threatening head injury in a fall onto different
loose-ll surfacing materials if they are installed and maintained at depths
of 6, 9, and 12 inches. However, it should be recognized that all injuries
due to falls cannot be prevented no matter what surfacing material is used.
It is recommended that a shock-absorbing material should extend
a minimum of 6 ft. In all directions from the perimeter of stationary
equipment such as climbers and slides. However, because children may
deliberately jump from a moving swing, the shock absorbing material
should extend to the front and rear of a swing a minimum distance of 2
times height of pivot point measured from a point directly beneath the
pivot on the supporting structure.
This information is intended to assist in comparing the relative shock-
absorbing properties of various materials. No particular material is
recommended over another. However, each material is only effective when
maintained. Materials should be checked periodically and replenished to
maintain correct depth as determined necessary for your equipment. The
choice of a material depends on the type and height of the playground
equipment, the availability of the material in your area, and its cost.

After reading all the safety information on this page and the rst page,
you may now start to assemble your Hardwood Skateboard Swing using
the following directions.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Find a healthy, strong hardwood tree that has a branch*
that stretches at least 8 feet (2.4m) from its trunk and has a
circumference** between 251/4 to 100 inches (64.1 to 254cm).
The tree branch should be at least 8 feet (2.4m) from the ground.
The tree trunk should have a circumference of at least 251/4 inches
(64.1cm). The tree and its branch should be strong enough to hold
at least 200 lbs. (90.7 kgs.)***. Clear the surrounding ground of
debris prior to installing your swing (Fig. 1). Make sure the tree
branch does not stretch: into a road, sidewalk, or street; over a
fence; someone else’s property; or any other obstacle. Select the
equipment on level ground, not less than 6 ft (1.8 m) from any
structure or obstruction such as fence, garage, house, overhanging
branches, laundry lines, or electrical wires.
*The tree branch must allow at least 12 inches (30.5cm) of clearance between the skateboard
swing & ground. The skateboard swing ropes are about 66 inches (167.6cm) in length.
**9-ft tree straps can only wrap around a tree branch of a max 100-inch (254cm) circumference.
Helpful hint: wrap tree straps around the tree branch for height adjusting purposes.
***Please note that the skateboard swing can only hold a person weighing up to 200 lbs.
2. Find the center of the branch. Take one of the two tree straps.
While holding one end, throw the other end over the tree branch.
Feed one end of the strap through the loop and pull taut (Fig. 2).
Attach a carabiner hook to the open end loop. Keep the carabiner
hook unlocked (loosen its screw lock).
3. Repeat this step for the second strap, having it spaced instructed
below. All to-fro swings, belt type or rigid, shall have a minimum
distance between suspension points as calculated from the
following formula (Fig. 3):
• A= 0.04(H) + B
• A= The center to center distance between the upper most
suspension points of the swing assembly.
• B= The center to center distance between the swing seat
attachment points (in the case of exible seats, place the
weighted test xture in the seat before measuring dimension.
• H= The distance between the uppermost suspension point
and the protective surfacing.
4. Take the preassembled skateboard swing. Join its neighboring pair of “O”
rings together and hook them on the carabiner hook that’s connected
to the tree strap (Fig. 4). Repeat this step for the opposite pair of “O”
rings of the preassembled skateboard swing. Make sure the skateboard
swing ropes and tree straps are not crossing. Lock the carabiner hooks
by tightening their screw locks. Make sure the skateboard part clears the
ground at least 12 inches (30.5cm) and is leveled. Adjust the clearance
height and level by adjusting the tree straps accordingly, by wrapping
the tree straps around the tree branch until desired height and level is
achieved (Fig. 1). You are now ready to ride!
TIPS FOR RIDING:
1. To swing, always maintain balance. To swing, stand your weight on
your back leg to move forward and your front leg to move backward.
2. To get off the board, come to a complete stop, sit down, and
dismount. Always maintain balance.
