HOW TO INSTALL - Installation
A- Distance between the suspension points along the crossbeam.
B- Distance between the junction points of the swing element and the means of suspension.
C - Distance from the ground to the lower side of the crossbeam.

The distance of A can be calculated by taking the measurement of the height and multiply it by
0.04, you will then add the measurement of the width. The distance of A should be equal to or
greater than that amount.
Example:
H=25m B=65cm
A = (0.04 x H) + B
A = (0.04 x250cm) + 65cm A≥ 75 cm
HOW TO ADJUST THE ROPES:

ASSEMBLY STEPS
1. Open the flaps of the seat mat. Insert the two Curved tubes into the seat mat through the flap
openings, forming arc-shape. Do not remove the stock absorbing foams from tubes.
2. Insert the two Straight tubes into the seat mat through the flap openings, Do not remove the
stock absorbing foams from tubes.
.
3. When connecting the straight tube with the curved tube, make sure that a thicker tube end
with a hole follows a tube end with a button. Do not assemble the tubes now.
4. Put the two ropes with plastic connectors beside the seat mat like the picture below.

5. .Insert the plastic connector of the rope from the top through the opening of the velcro
flap.
Please note that there are “I”and “II”marked on the inner side of the plastic connectors.
6. Now connect the tubes by pressing down the button on the contracted tube end.
Locking is done by clicking on the button.
Make sure that “I”is pointed to the contracted tube with button, and “II”is pointed to the
tube with hole. And when you cover the plastic connector to the tube, please cover the “II”
side to the tube at first, next is “I”side. Make sure that the button is fully inserted into the
hole until you can see the button on the surface of the hole like following picture.
