● Children must remove their bike or other sports helmet before playing on the swing.

● Children should not twist or loop the swing chains or ropes or loop over the support structure from which the swing

is hanging. This may weaken the strength of the supports or the rope.

● When in use, children should stand or sit on the center of the swing with their full weight distributed towards the

center.

● Empty swings should not be pushed. The swing could rebound and may cause serious injury.

● Children should be dressed appropriately when using the swing. Strings or loose clothing could get caught in the

● STRANGULATION HAZARD: Items that are not the Swurfer©Kick should not be used to hang or climb on. Jump

ropes, leashes, cables etc. could pose a risk for strangulation.

● WARNING: Regularly check your tree branch, as well as the rope and swing itself, for splitting, fraying etc. A

properly installed swing should not cause any damage or grooves in the tree. We recommend replacing the ropes

every couple of years,

CHOOSE THE RIGHT TREE

● Tree Type: The branches of a sturdy hardwood tree are best for a tree swing —oaks are ideal. Avoid fruit trees,

evergreens, or trees that split easily.

● Branch Size: A tree swing needs a branch at least 8” in diameter.

● Branch Condition: The branch chosen for a tree swing must be healthy. Inspect the branch from trunk to tip, and

avoid branches that show any signs of infestation, disease, splitting, or narrow connections to the main trunk. And

above all, don’t use a dead branch!

● Clearance: The branch should be large enough that the swing can hang at least 8 feet away from the trunk without

the branch bouncing, and the swing should have more distance from the trunk of the tree or any other objects

(fences, garages, houses, protruding branches, electrical wires, laundry pipes) as you have from the ground to the

branch.

● SwingAttachmentHeight:Theswingisdesignedtobeattachednomorethan10feet3incheso󰀨theground.

INSTALLATION

● Install the swing only on a level surface.

● DO NOT install 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, children must not use the equipment until properly installed.

● ALWAYS install the swing over a soft and proper shock-absorbent material such as wood chips, mulch, or shredded

rubberofsu󰀩cientdepth-between9-12”.Whiledirtandgrassarethemostprevalent,theydonotadequately

protect children from head injuries should they fall.

● Ensure that the supporting structure is secure. This means it should support at least 600 pounds, is over level

ground, and has a minimum height of 8ft.

● Swingshouldhaveaclearanceofatleast1.5xthetotallengthofalltheropemeasuredfromthetreelimb/horizontal

beam to the plastic board attachment point.

● Remove any tripping hazards, such as rocks, tree stumps, loose toys etc. from the play area.

● Installtheswingsothatthelowestpointoftheswingisnolessthan8inchesandnomorethan14incheso󰀨the

ground.

● If installing on a swing set, ensure the legs are anchored into the ground, as this swing may cause the swing set to

tip over.

STEP 1

Fold rope in half by aligning ends. Drape rope evenly over the

branch. Tip: To install without a tall ladder, connect string or twine to

a beanbag or a weighted sock. Make sure it’s long enough to make

it over the branch and back to the ground, and throw the weighted

object over the branch. Then, tie the string to the center of the rope

loop, and pull it up over the branch.

STEP 2

Pull the ends of the rope through the loop so it wraps tightly around

thebranch.Repeatsteps1-2withtheotherrope.Bothropesshould

beplaced24-36inchesapartwhendone.

STEP 4

Lace rope through holes on your Swurfer board. Tie a double

overhand knot beneath the board, and level your Swurfer by

adjusting the four knots. Trim rope and melt ends with lighter to

prevent fraying. Ensure that the lowest point of the swing is no

lessthan8incheso󰀨theground.Ifitis,re-tiethefourknotsata

higher point on the rope.

Note: Rope must be taped prior to cutting,

otherwise it will fray before you melt it.
