7 Ft. Swing Beam
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
These Swing Mount installation instructions apply to the Williamsburg and Lexington gyms only.
Mounting instructions for the Chesapeake, Yorktown, Ridgeeld, Norfolk and Manchester gyms
are included in the assembly manual provided with those sets.
Installing Swing Mount for Williamsburg and
Lexington:
The 7 Ft Swing Beam can be mounted to any side of the
Williamsburg or Lexington Gyms, as long as no other ele-
ments conict with the swing safe play zone. The safe play
zone for the 7 Ft Swing Beam is 14' in front and 14' behind
the Beam.
Hold a Swing Mount (B) in place with one edge aligned to
the center of the Wall Support and Platform Support, above
the Safety Rail. Use a level to assure the Swing Mount is
plumb.
Mark the positions of the holes at each end of the Swing
Mount on the Wall and Platform Supports. Make sure that
the holes will not conict with other hardware. Drill 3/8"
diameter holes through the boards at each mark.
Fasten the Swing Mount to the Wall Support and Platform
Side using two 5/16 x 4" Hex Bolt Assemblies.
Note: It is best to mount the Swing Beam at the middle of
the side of a gym. Since the side of a Lexington gym is very
long, it is allowable mount the Swing Beam as close as 2'6"
to the end of the gym.

Wall Support
STEP 1 – Mark & Drill Hole for Bracket
There are two different Swing Mount hole patterns that you
may encounter. The rst version, which is on the right, should
be treated as follows:
On the side of Swing Mount, make a mark 4-1/8" above the
top hole. Drill a 7/16" diameter hole through the mark made,
as shown. Use the 7/16" diameter drill to enlarge the other
holes indicated.
The second version, on the right, offers more exibility. Use the
Beam Retainer (F) as an aid to determine which group of three
holes to use when mounting the Swing Beam. If the ground
drops away from the gym, use the lowest combination. If there
is to be deep ground cover, use the highest combination. Use
a 7/16" diameter drill to enlarge the holes chosen.

Note: mounting the beam in the highest position may conict with
the tent pipe on the Lexington or Williamsburg tent-roof gyms.
In case of conict, mount the beam in a lower position.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 13 – Nameplate
Federal law requires that the name of the manufacturer be
permanently fastened to the gym, for identication in case
of recall or warranty claim. Your Swing Beam comes with a
nameplate. It is important to fasten the nameplate to the gym.
Use the spacing of the swings to determine placement. Fit
the nameplate at the center of the swing spacing. Use the
included #6 x 1/2" pan head screws to attach the name plate
to the Swing Beam.
IMPORTANT: When installing a Swing Beam to
a Norfolk or Manchester gym, do not install the
two swing hangers closest to the gym. The area
must be kept clear for tire swing clearance.
