General
The described work is to be carried out by qualified specialists (a minimum of 3 persons).
Anchoring of the lattice equipment is made on a hot-galvanized square tube frame. Concrete work is not
necessary making any possible change of location quite easy without removing foundations or having
them remain in the earth.
Dimensions
Equipment space ∅5,00 m
Fall space 1.50 m
Minimum space ∅8,90 m
Height 5.00 m
Age group
From 4 years of age
Number of users
Approximately 36 children
Maximum free fall height
2.60 m
Ground conditions
We refer to EN 1176-1 with respect to the ground conditions in the playing area. Sand, wood chippings,
gravel and synthetic fall protector with HIC test are accordingly permitted. We recommend a 400 mm
thick bed of gravel (grit size 2 – 8 mm) or a sand filling (grain size 0.2 – 2 mm). When applying a synthetic
fall protector it must be guaranteed that all positions relevant for maintenance (refer to the maintenance
instructions on Pages 12 and 13) be accessible at all times. If necessary consult SMB.

2.3 Alignment of the anchor frame
If all 10 ground anchors are fixed into each other as shown in Figure 3 then these are screwed together
with the 10 supplied screws (M16x85) and nuts. This frame must be positioned in the ground at a depth of
470 mm under the playing level (Figure 4) and, at the same time, be aligned horizontally and aligned in
diameter. With this frame perfect screwing of the frame tubes and the hollow balls is guaranteed. Note: It
is imperative that you observe the positioning of the slide and the hammock when assembling and
aligning the anchor frame (refer to Layout Plan II).

4. Space net:
4.1 Unpacking the space net
As shown in Figure 15, the space net is to be taken until it is vertically under the equipment top. The
supplied pulley is to be secured on the K29 hollow ball as shown in the pulley setup in Figure 15. The
space net can be hoisted out of the crate using the attached rope and assembled to the hollow ball
connection K29 with the preassembled nut M20 / SIZE 30 (which must firstly be completely loosened).
Insertion of the tensioning cylinder and fork screws into hollow balls of K30, K31 and K32 can be
simplified by tension support from the supplied rope. When securing the tension nut, care must be taken
to ensure the correct alignment of the ropes and that they correspond to their run progression in the
space net (Figure 5).
Special attention should be given to space net alignment with Skyclimbers having additional
elements such as net troughs and climber walls. Do not position seating troughs behind the
climber panels because these can be hardly used!

4.2 Preassembly of the space net
Preassembly of the space net begins by
screwing the tension systems into the hollow
balls of K30 (Figures 9, 10 and 16). In
doing this, the tensioning cylinder is inserted
into the telescopic sleeve with the M20 bolt
and mounted from the inside with the
tension nut M20 (Size 32) with approxima-
tely 5 turns of the thread. After this, the
tension screws for hollow balls K31 and K32
(Figures 9 and 10) are made which also
mount the tension rope via the fork screws
(Figure 17).
4.3 Tensioning the space net
Firstly the aligned connection on the hollow
ball K29 is to be solidly secured. Tensioning
of the space net begins on the hollow balls
of K31 and K32 which are screwed to the
locking nut (Figure 17) using the special
spanner supplied. After doing this tensioning
is made on K30 hollow balls up to the
marking (Figure 16). Finally, the space net
must be under a tension having an even
strength throughout.
Remember!
It is imperative that at all tension points, the ropes under tension do not turn. If necessary counter
this with a suitable tool.

4.4 Securing the space net
After tensioning, the tension nuts are to be locked on all K30 knot points using the locked nuts and
spring lock washer provided (M20 Size 32). In order to tighten the locking nut, the Allen key Size 10
must be inserted into the M20 screw and held (Figure 16). The locking nuts Size 30 (Figure 17) are to
be inspected once again to ensure that they are solidly secure at the K31 and K32 knot points. Finally
all knot points from K29 to K32 are to be closed by screwing the knots with the prepared covers via a
clamping screw (Figure 16). In doing this please ensure that the cover is positioned evenly so that our
company logo is readable. Thank you.
5. Maintenance instructions EN 1176-1:
5.1 Visual routine inspection
The frequency of inspections should be oriented on local conditions (high or low amount of use,
vandalism, air contamination, weather effects etc.).
The space net and the hammock are to be checked for damage, especially breaks in the wire.
The climber panels as well as the climber grips are to be checked for damage (e.g. cracks).
All fixtures of the climber panels and the climber grips are to be checked.
It is to be ensured that all hollow balls are closed.
The clamps of the climbing plates should be tight. In case the screw connection is loose, please tighten it.
Check the climbing holds for tightness or damage. If the screw connection is loose, please tighten it.
Replace the climbing holds in case of any damage.
Remember to re
-
tension!
The first re-tension of the space net is to be made already after one to two weeks of use (refer to
the operative inspection for the procedure).

5.2 Operative inspection (half yearly)
•The first re-tensioning must be carried out after one to two weeks. Re-tensioning is made via the
tension nuts (M 20) in the hollow balls. Firstly the balls K31 and K32 are re-tensioned. After
removing the cover using an Allen key Size 10 and loosening the locking nut M20 Size 30 (Figure 17)
on the outside of the ball, the inside tension nut Size 30 is re-tensioned with the box spanner. It is
imperative that the locking nuts be solidly tightened after re-tensioning. After this, further re-
tensioning is made at the K30 knots and should be carried out evenly. In doing this the inside locking
nut M20 Size 32 is loosened after removing the cover and re-tensioned at the tension nut M20 Size
32 beyond the pre-tension marking using the special box spanner supplied. After re-tensioning, the
tension nuts on the K30 knots must be locked again with the locking nuts. Please note to the
spring lock washer between the nuts. In order to loosen and secure the tension nut and
locking nut M20 Size 32, the bolt M20 can be held with an Allan key Size 10 (Figure 16). Finally
the open hollow ball is once again closed with the cover. Please ensure that the cover is placed
evenly so that our company logo is readable. Thank you.
Further re-tensioning will be required once or twice more until rope expansion is fully spent.
5.3 Main inspection (yearly)
In addition to the tests concerning visual and operative inspection:
•Checking the anchor frame for excessive corrosion (every two years). The anchor frame is to be laid
bear at the corner points down to the construction depth and to be checked for corrosion.
•Checking the tube screw joints to ensure solid and gap-free seating on the hollow balls. If a screw
has become lose then this is to be re-tightened in the inside of the ball.
•Check the locking nuts (Figure 17) to ensure solid seating at the K31 and K32 hollow balls.
•Checking the tension system for damage.
•Checking the slide supports, especially the ramp, for solid anchoring.
•Checking the hammock post at the base to the foundation for any signs of corrosion.
Remember!
It is imperative that at all tension points the ropes under tension do not turn. If necessary counter this
with a suitable tool.
