ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1 – Assemble Beam:
Set the Beam Assembly so the edge with holes faces up.
Secure the two rails of the Beam Assembly (D) using eight
1/4 x 3" Hex bolts, 1/4" Lock Washers, 1/4" Flat Washers
and 1/4" Weld Nuts, as shown.
STEP 3 – Swing Hangers:
Insert the screw end of one Swing Hanger through a 5/16" at washer and into one of the holes on the bottom surface of
the Swing Beam. Use a screwdriver for leverage while turning the Swing Hanger into the wood. The connector must be
screwed into the wood fully, with the bend of the shaft resting rmly against the 5/16" at washer. Repeat with the other
Swing Hangers.
It is extremely important that you align each Swing Hanger in the proper position as shown in the illustrations. The swing
motion must be perpendicular to the Beam.
CAUTION: If these installation instructions are not explicitly followed, the Swing Hanger shaft will break or pull out of the
wood and injuries will result.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 4 – Beam Upright:
Use two 1/4 x 3" Hex Bolt Assemblies* to bolt the Front Up-
right (A) to the Back Upright (B) as shown at left.
Use 5/16" x 3" Hex Bolt Assemblies to join the Front Upright,
Back Upright, Swing Beam and Triangle Plate (G) as shown.
STEP 5 – Beam to Swing Mounts:
Fasten the L-Brace (H) to one of the Swing Mounts using
one 5/16 x 1-1/2" Hex Bolt Assembly through the bottom
hole of the brace as shown. Align the adjacent hole with the
upper hole in the Swing Mount.
It may be necessary to slightly loosen the bolts holding one
Swing Mount for the next procedure.
Lift the Beam into place. Align the hole at the
end of the Beam with the holes in the Swing
Mounts and L-Brace. Fasten using one 5/16
x 5-1/2" Hex Bolt Assembly as shown. Do
not tighten fully as it will be necessary to
pivot the Beam up into place in a later step.
STEP 6 – Beam Legs:
Fasten the Beam Legs (E) to the Front and Back Uprights us-
ing one 5/16 x 5-1/2" Hex Bolt Assembly. If the end of the Hex
Bolt protrudes more than two threads beyond the Weld Nut
add Flat Washers under the head of the Bolt.
Do not tighten fully as it will be necessary to pivot the Beam
into place in a later step.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 9 — Ground Stakes:
Hammer two Ground Stakes (F) next to the Beam Legs
as shown. Secure each stake with two #8 x 2-1/2" Screws
through the pre-drilled holes.
Note: Do NOT use concrete to set Ground Stakes. Pound a
metal spike or rod into the ground to start a hole in hard or
rocky ground.
STEP 10 – Hang Swings:
Hang the Swings in the positions shown on the rst page.
U.S. safety standards require a minimum clearance of 8"
from the bottom of each Swing Accessory to the ground.
U.K. (& E.U.) safety standards require a minimum clearance
of 350mm (13-3/4") between the bottom of each Swing Ac-
cessory and the ground.
The height of each Swing Accessory is adjusted by using a
different link in the chain. Be sure to hang the Swings Ac-
cessories with ground clearance greater than or equal to the
safety standard for your region.
STEP 8 — Nameplate:
It is important to fasten the name plate to the Swing Beam.
U.S. federal safety regulations require that the name of the
manufacturer be permanently fastened to the gym, for iden-
tication in case of warranty claim.
Center the name plate near the middle of the Beam. Use the
included #6 x 1/2" pan head screws to attach the Nameplate
to the Beam. Make sure that the screws are slightly loose.
This will keep the Nameplate from bending due to tempera-
ture and moisture changes in the wood.

STEP 7 – Horizontal Support:
Fasten the Horizontal Support (C) to the Legs using 5/16 x
4-1/2" Hex Bolt Assemblies as shown below.
Swing the Beam up and move the Legs into place as shown
at right. Fasten the Horizontal Support to the Uprights using
one 5/16 x 4-1/2" Hex Bolt Assembly
and one 1/4 x 3" Lag Screw with
Flat Washer.
Secure the last hole in the
L-Brace to the Beam using
one 5/16 x 3" Hex Bolt
Assembly. Tighten all
fasteners.
