INSTALLATION and ASSEMBLY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please Note: Observing the following statements and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury.
Do not substitute parts! The parts provided have been safety tested to exceed the maximum
stresses expected to be encountered when using this product. If a part becomes damaged in any way
[email protected] for replacement information.
1. Be sure that the supporting trees or uprights are secure and will support at least 1250 pounds. If you are using
uprights other than trees or are considering installation on other than level ground please
[email protected] for important safety information.
2. Be sure that the area between the trees or uprights is level and at a distance of not less than 6 feet from any structure or
obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, tree trunk, interfering branches, laundry line or electrical wire.
3. The maximum fall height for this product is determined by measuring from the handles to the ground at the highest
point of attachment to the tree or upright. This will vary depending upon the height of the user and the distance between
the trees or uprights (see assembly instructions).
4. Do not install ZL35 Zip Line over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet or any other hard surface. A fall
onto a hard surface can result in a serious injury or death to the equipment user. (See enclosed CONSUMER
INFORMATION SHEET FOR PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS).
5. Cable height: For ZL35 Zip Line to operate properly and safely it is necessary to follow the mounting instructions
carefully and observe the height recommendations. Each end of the cable must be mounted at the same height, which
should not exceed six (6) feet.
Please Note: Observing the following statements and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury.
WARNING! Do not add additional slope to the cable. This will not improve the ride and may create a danger to
the user!
Assembly Instructions
NEVER USE EYEBOLTS OR SIMILAR HARDWARE IN CONNNECTION WITH THIS PRODUCT!
1. Set aside Assembled Trolley (E).
2. Carefully uncoil the galvanized aircraft cable (C).
Wrap one end around one of the uprights at the height chosen.

INSTALLATION and ASSEMBLY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Please Note: Observing the following statements and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury.
3. Using two (2) of the cable clamps (B) provided with lockwashers and nuts, secure the cable as illustrated below.
Tighten the nuts carefully with a socket wrench (5/16 or 8mm).
Illustration 1:
4. Stretch out the cable and thread the loose end through the trolley just below the wheels and
wrap the end around the other upright.
5. Place one of the remaining cable clamps on the cable as if to secure this end as done in Step 3 and Hand Tighten the nuts.
Using pliers or vise grips, grip the free end of the cable and pull as tight as possible. Slide the cable clamp toward the upright to
secure and pull as tight as possible again. Repeat this process until you feel that you have pulled the cable as tight as possible.
Tighten the nuts on the cable clamp carefully with a socket wrench and fully secure the cable with the other cable clamp.
6. Depending upon the length of your Zip Line, you may now have extra cable. This excess should be removed. Wrap both
protruding cable ends with electrical tape to cover sharp or pointed edges. Using a wire cutter or pliers remove any excess wire
protruding beyond 6 inches from the last cable clamp.
Please observe illustration 1. The cable clamps should be 1 and 1/2 upright diameters from the
upright and no closer. Failure to follow this instruction could result in cable damage and increase the
liklihood of serious or fatal injury.
Do not attempt to use mechanical tensioning devices, as they are not necessary and may interfere
with the proper performance of the ride.
7. Obtain a secure platform to place at the starting point of the ride. Place it at the start of the ride and make sure that it
cannot tip in any direction.
8. Now test the ride. You should stop a short distance before reaching the other end. If you stop considerably short, then
you probably have too much tension in the cable and should loosen the cable slightly. If you come too close to the ground,
then you may have too little tension and should tighten the cable slightly.
9. After the rst use, you may expect a small amount of stretch in the cable due to its construction.
This is normal and can be adjusted by following the installation instruction step 5.
Your ZL35 is now ready for use and enjoyment.

LIMITED WARRANTY
Zip Line Fun warrants to the rst consumer purchaser, for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase, that the Zip Line will be free from
defective workmanship and materials, and agrees that it will, at its option, either repair the defect or replace the defective product or part thereof
at no charge to the purchaser for parts or for labor.
This warranty does not apply to any product which has been damaged or defaced, which has been subject to misuse, abnormal service or
handling, or which has been altered or modied in design, construction, assembly, installation or operation.
In order to enforce the rights under this limited warranty, the purchaser should return the warranty registration card enclosed in the product
package and contact Zip Line Fun if a problem occurs. In the alternative, the purchaser should have available and submit a proof of purchase to
Zip Line Fun.
This limited warranty described above is in addition to whatever implied warranties may be granted to purchasers by law.
The warranties described above shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the purchaser.

How to Install Zip Line without Trees
1) Determine if you will need to install post’s on one side of zip line ride or both sides (each
side will require Qty. 2: 6’ x 6’ x 12’ long posts).
2) For each side you will be using post’s instead of trees:
a. Bolt Two 6’ x 6’ x 12’ pressure treated posts one in front of the other.
b. Bury and cement the posts 4-5’ in the ground.
c. Face the skinner side (~5.5” wide) toward the direction the zip line ride will
travel.
3) Wait 24 hours to let the cement dry.
4) Sand down the edges of the posts to make them more rounded where the zip line cable
will wrap around.
5) Use the post like a tree to continue your zip line installation.

SLOPE
1) Tie a string between the two trees that you will set the zip line up
on. Make sure that the string is level by using a leveler.
2) Measure the high end (starting point) from the ground to the
bottom of the string.
3) Measure the low end (stopping point) from the ground to the
bottom of the string.
4) The difference is your slope. ***Note that the higher ground tree
will be your high end (starting point).
5) ubtract this slope from the high point determined by following
the table in the installation manual and keep the low point the same.
Ex. You determine what heights to install your zip line by following
the table in the installation manual and find out that you need to
anchor the high point at 150 inches and the low point at 102 inches.
Next you will determine the slope by following the above directions.
You find out that you have a slope of 3 feet or 36 inches. Next, you
subtract 150 inches (high point) by 36 inches (slope) to come away
with your new high point anchor: 144 inches or 9½ feet. You will keep
your low point at 102 inches or 8½ feet. The slope in your yard will
make up the 3 feet that you subtracted from the high point and give
you the same ride as if you had level ground.
