581-422 12’ Primary Tripod 4 Seat Swing
GENERAL USE/FALL ZONE & FOOTING RECOMMENDATIONS
SINGLE AXIS SWINGS:
The Use/Fall Zone should extend to the front & rear, a minimum distance of twice the
height of the Top Rail above the resilient surfacing material. The Use/Fall Zone to the
sides should follow the general recommendation of six feet minimum. This six-foot zone
may overlap that of an adjacent swing structure.
ROTATING SWINGS:
The Use/Fall Zone should extend in all directions the length of the swing chain plus six
feet. The six-foot minimum fall zone from the supporting structure also applies, and may
overlap the six-foot zone of an adjacent swing structure.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:
Check MONTHLY for loose bolts, damaged or broken parts. Tighten and/or replace
immediately. On swings and any equipment that uses S-Hooks and/or Swing Hangers check
the bearing surfaces for wear. Replace any parts that show a reduction of 25% from the
original size.
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION:
NOTE: All threaded ends of bolts protruding beyond nuts must be cut off
and/or peened to eliminate sharp edges. No more than two threads
should extend beyond face of nut. All washers, “T” nuts and other
fastener hardware used on round pipe or tubing must be hammered down to
conform to the curved underlying surface to eliminate catch points. DO
NOT tighten nuts more than hand-tight until entire assembly is
completed.
STEP #1: Assemble swing frame on side, on ground. If more than one section,
assemble section by section. Layout parts so that when frame is
erected, legs will be in approximately correct position.
Note: Combination of a 583-518A center fitting and a 583-519A End
Fitting is required for a complete Primary Tripod Swing End Fitting.
