INSTALLATION
TREE LIMB OR CROSS BAR ASSEMBLY: First test
the tree limb or cross bar to ensure that it is secure,
it will support at least 150 lbs., is over level ground,
has a minimum height of 7 feet and is no less than
6 feet on all sides from vercal elements. Swing
should have a clearance of at least 1.5 mes the total
length of all the rope measured from the tree limb/
horizontal beam to the tree strap aachment point.
(See Figure: 1)
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
• DO NOT install home playground
equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed
earth, grass, carpet or any other hard
surface — A fall onto a hard surface can
result in serious injury or death to the
equipment user.
• To prevent serious injury, equipment must
not be used unl properly installed.
Ages
5+
ADJUST SWING HEIGHT
• Adjust swing hanging length so plaorm is parallel with ground. Boom of swing
should be no more than 24 inches and no less than 18 inches from the ground.
• Ensure that the swing hangs horizontal aer adjustment of the ropes.
• Never add extra length to chain or rope. The chains or ropes provided are the
maximum length designed for the swinging element(s).

SELECTIVE PROTECTIVE SURFACING
One of the most important things you can do to reduce the likelihood of serious head
injuries is to install shock-absorbing protecve surfacing under and around your play
equipment. The protecve surfacing should be applied to a depth that is suitable for the
equipment height in accordance with ASTM F1292. There are dierent types of surfacing
to choose from; whichever product you select, follow these guidelines. (See gure 2)
NOTE—Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, or any other
hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to the equipment user.
Grass and dirt are not considered protecve surfacing because wear and environmental
factors can reduce their shock absorbing eecveness. Carpeng and thin mats are
generally not adequate protecve surfacing. Ground level equipment such as a sandbox,
acvity wall, playhouse or other equipment that has no elevated play surface-does not
need any protecve surfacing.

• Maintain a minimum depth of 9 in. of loose-ll materials such as wood mulch/
chips, engineered wood ber (EWF), or shredded/recycled rubber mulch for equipment up to 96 in. high; and 9 in. of sand or pea
gravel for equipment up to 60 in. high. NOTE: An inial ll level of 12 in. will compress to about a 9 in. depth of surfacing over me. The
surfacing will also compact, displace, and sele, and should be periodically relled to maintain at least a 9 in. depth.
• Use a minimum of 6 in. of protecve surfacing for play equipment less than 48 in. in height. If maintained properly, this should be
adequate. (At depths less than 6 in., the protecve material is too easily displaced or compacted.)
• Use containment, such as digging out around the perimeter and/or lining the perimeter with landscape edging. Don’t forget to account for
water drainage.
• Check and maintain the depth of the loose-ll surfacing material. To maintain the right amount of loose-ll materials, mark the correct
level on play equipment support posts. That way you can easily see when to replenish and/or redistribute the surfacing.
• Do not install loose ll surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.

– like rubber les or poured-in-place surfaces.
• Installaons of these surfaces generally require a professional and are not “do-it-yourself” projects.
• Review surface specicaons before purchasing this type of surfacing. Ask the installer/ manufacturer for a report showing that the
product has been tested to the following safety standard: ASTM F1292 Standard Specicaon for Impact Aenuaon of Surfacing
Materials within the Use Zone of Playground Equipment. This report should show the specic height for which the surface is intended to
protect against serious head injury. This height should be equal to or greater than the fall height-vercal distance between a designated
play surface (elevated surface for standing, sing, or climbing) and the protecve surfacing below-of your play equipment.
• Check the protecve surfacing frequently for wear.
PLACEMENT: Proper placement and maintenance of protecve surfacing is essenal. Be sure to:
• Extend surfacing at least 72 in. from the equipment in all direcons.
• For to-and-fro swings, extend protecve surfacing in front of and behind the swing to a distance equal to twice the height of the top bar
from which the swing is suspended.
• For re swings, extend surfacing in a circle whose radius is equal to the height of the suspending chain or rope, plus 6 feet in all direcons.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
• An adult should supervise play on this product for children of all ages.
• Only for family residenal domesc use.
• Designed for single rider. LIMIT: 1 child per swing. Safety rated to 125 lb.
• Maximum fall height 6.5 . (determined by swing pivot point, maximum hanging rope length and 24 in. above ground surface).
OPERATION WARNING: Riders should be dressed appropriately including wearing well-ng shoes that fully protect feet. Remove arcles
before swinging that create hazards when they get tangled and caught (examples include ponchos, scarves, and other loose-ng clothing, bike or
sports helmets). Adhere to the following guidelines for operaon: Do not swing the swing higher than hook aachment • Remove rider from the
swing only aer it has completely stopped • Do not twist swing chains or ropes or loop them over the top support bar since this may reduce the
strength of the chain or rope • Avoid swinging empty seats • Do not walk close to, in front of, or behind, or between moving items • Rider should
sit in center of the swing with full weight in the seat • Do not use the equipment in a manner other than intended • Do not aach items to the
playground equipment or support structure that the swing is aached to that are 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 strangulaon hazard • Do not climb swing when it is wet •
When the swing is in direct sunlight, check that seang surface is not too hot.
