Height adjustor or safety rotational device needed
A Southpaw Height Adjustor (5000) may be needed to adjust your equipment to the correct height
for your client. With all Southpaw Enterprises, Inc. Suspended Equipment, a Southpaw Safety
Rotational Device (2000) must be used to prevent damage to your equipment, except where
specified otherwise.
All warranties are void if a Southpaw Rotational Device is not used or used with a rotational device
not approved by Southpaw Enterprises, Inc.
Hanging Strap
• Should the hanging strap come loose during shipping, or when it is removed for cleaning, attach it
to the swing as follows: Wrap the webbing strap around the top of the aluminum frame two times,
looping one end of the webbing under the other end both times. Then attach the safety snap to the
webbing. At this point the webbing should tighten around the frame under load.
To adjust the angle of the swing
• First, remove the client from the swing. Next, loosen the positioning plate knobs on the sides of the
swing until the teeth of the plates disengage. Rotate the angle of the seat to the desired position,
and tighten knobs until the teeth of the positioning plates fully engage. Do not loosen the knobs
more than is necessary to adjust swing. • After adjusting the swing to the proper position, you may
add additional stability to the seat by tying the cords to the outside loop of the frame.
IMPORTANT
• Never adjust the angle of the swing while a client is in the swing. This could result in serious injury.
• Never use the swing without the provided safety restraint system.
• Never leave clients unattended in the Variable Axis Swing.
• Never use the swing without a Safety Rotational Device -- Failure to do so may result in
catastrophic failure of the swing
• Before placing a client in the swing, hang the swing and make sure the hanging strap is in place and
secure. Failure to do this could result in serious injury.
