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 250 lbs., is over level ground,
has a minimum height of 7 feet and is no less than 6 feet
on all sides from vercal 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 aachment 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 unl properly installed.
ADJUST SWING HEIGHT
• Adjust swing hanging length so plaorm is
parallel with ground. Boom of swing should
be no more than 24 inches and no less than 18
inches from the ground.
• Never add extra length to chain or rope.
The chains or ropes provided are the maximum
length designed for the swinging element(s).
NOTE: Connued on Back Side
At least 6’
from the
trunk or 1.5x
the length the
swing rope.

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 protecve surfacing
under and around your play equipment. The protecve surfacing should be
applied to a depth that is suitable for the equipment height in accordance
with ASTM F1292. There are dierent 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
protecve surfacing because wear and environmental factors can
reduce their shock absorbing eecveness. Carpeng and thin mats are
generally not adequate protecve surfacing. Ground level equipment
such as a sandbox, acvity wall, playhouse or other equipment that has
no elevated play surface-does not need any protecve surfacing.
LOOSE-FILL MATERIALS
• 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 inial ll level of 12 in. will compress to about a 9 in.
depth of surfacing over me. The surfacing will also compact,
displace, and sele, and should be periodically relled to maintain
at least a 9 in. depth.
• Use a minimum of 6 in. of protecve surfacing for play
equipment less than 48 in. in height. If maintained properly,
this should be adequate. (At depths less than 6 in., the
protecve 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.
POURED-IN-PLACE SURFACES OR PRE-MANUFACTURED RUBBER
TILES: You may be interested in using surfacing other than loose-
ll materials – like rubber les or poured-in-place surfaces.
• Installaons of these surfaces generally require a
professional and are not “do-it-yourself” projects.
• Review surface specicaons 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 Specicaon for Impact
Aenuaon of Surfacing Materials within the Use Zone of
Playground Equipment. This report should show the specic
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-vercal distance between a designated
play surface (elevated surface for standing, sing, or climbing)
and the protecve surfacing below-of your play equipment.
• Check the protecve surfacing frequently for wear.
PLACEMENT: Proper placement and maintenance of
protecve surfacing is essenal. Be sure to:
• Extend surfacing at least 72 in. from the
equipment in all direcons.
• For to-and-fro swings, extend protecve 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 direcons.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
• An adult should supervise play on this
product for children of all ages.
• Only for family residenal domesc use.
• Designed for mul-rider use.
• Safety rated to 250 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 arcles 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 operaon: Do not swing
the swing higher than hook aachment • Remove rider from the swing
only aer 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 aach items to the playground
equipment or support structure that the swing is aached to that are not
specically 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 strangulaon hazard • Do not climb swing when it is wet • When
the swing is in direct sunlight, check that seang surface is not too hot.
