GENERAL FOOTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Diameter and depth of footings illustrated are satisfactory in most applications for pipe
sizes up to 2 3/8” diameter. Varying soil & climatic conditions may require deeper and
heavier footings in some areas. Check local building codes.

USE AREA & FOOTING LAYOUT:

581-438 8’ Modern Bipod 4 Seat
GENERAL USE/FALL ZONE & FOOTING RECOMMENDATION
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.
MULTI AXIS 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
erlap the six foot zone of an adjacent swing structure.ov
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.

STEP #2: Remove swing hanger pendulums from the swing hanger assemblies. Using S-
hooks, attach seats to chain and chain to swing hanger pendulums. Close
the S-hooks to within .034” (1/32”) using S-hook pliers.
STEP #3: Assemble top portion of swing hangers on top rail following spacing on
page 1 diagram.
STEP #4:
Footing holes may be marked out and dug from footing layout, however, it
is easier to position swing in proper location, mark holes, move swing
aside, and dig holes.
STEP #5: Stand swing upright onto legs and brace in footing holes so that 2’ – 3’
of pipe will be under intended level of resilient surfacing and top rail
is at desired height.
STEP #6: Plumb and level entire unit. Tighten set screws by using short length of
pipe on end of socket key to add leverage. Pour concrete. Crown surface.
Wait 48 hours before removing braces and using equipment.
STEP #7: Attach assembled seats to swing hangers by reattaching the pendulums to
the swing hangers. Do not over tighten bolt on pendulum. Hangers must
move freely.
STEP #8: Attach warning label and Manufacturer’s Identification label to a clean
surface. The labels should be attached in a location where they are
clearly visible and legible and away from normal hand and foot placement
areas. The labels must be replaced if they become illegible, destroyed or
removed. Contact your SportsPlay distributor for replacements.
