GENERAL INFORMATION
The Platform Seat comes with a stretch cord to make the platform board easier to move from
place to place and store. When ready to use the seat, carefully release the stretch cord from
the suspension chains. While the seat is in use, place the cord in the swing bag or in a safe place
of reach of the intended occupant.
There are two spring clip connectors; one for each pair of suspension chains. Open the spring
clip of each connector and place into the swing’s ‘easy glide’ connection. The proper orientation
of the ‘easy glide’ connection is shown here for clarity; the chain connector goes into the
bottom opening of the ‘easy glide’ connection.

Both views below show the chain connectors installed. Make sure the spring clips have closed
properly. The position shown to the left is for linear movement of the swing. If rotation is
desired, place both connectors in the single point connection. This is shown in the view to the
right.
PLATFORM SEAT DETAILS
•The Platform Seat is vinyl covered padded swing that is moisture/wear resistant and
easy to clean.
•The swing is suspended with vinyl covered chains. Unlike ropes, the vinyl covered chains
are easy to clean.
•The individual can receive therapy laying on stomach or sitting. Think of it as a seat or a
moving working desk. Top choice by Occupational Therapists!
•Do not remove the spring clips, or elastics bands, from the chains. They keep the proper
chains together and ensure the swing is hung the next time as intended.
•If additional assistance is needed to help keep the individuals on the platform seat, an
optional ‘Low Tone Attachment’ is available.
TO ASSURE CONTINUED SATISFACTION AND SAFETY OF THE SWINGS,
PLEASE PERFORM THE NECESSARY WEAR INSPECTIONS AS DETAILED
IN THE “MECHANICAL COMPONENT WEAR INSPECTION” SECTION BELOW.
MECHANICAL COMPONENT WEAR INSPECTION
The Seat Chains and Seat Ubolts have some amount of relative movement while the swing is
being used. Under normal use, all of these components would not experience significant wear
for years. However, under extreme heavy daily use, some of these components may experience
wear much sooner and may need replacing.
As a matter of safety, all of these components should be checked every six months.

Seat Chains:
Wear in these areas are normally
very light, but still should be
checked. The following images show
where to look for the wear and how
to gauge the need for replacement.
If any are found to have worn half
way through the wall thickness, they
need to be replaced. Remember, the
simple rule to go by is “THE TIME
FOR IT
Seat Bolts:
Note: For clarity the seat ubolt is
shown without the seat. Also,
although just one end of the chain is
shown above, both ends would have
to inspected.
If any of the above components are
found to be worn out as described,
contact FlagHouse at 1-800-793-
7900 for replacement instructions.
