INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a AXI swing.
AXI makes every effort to design and manufacture a robust, safe product. In choosing this product, you have bought a
product you will enjoy for many years.
1. SAFETY
AXI swings are tested and approved in accordance with the EN71 toy standard and carry the CE mark and EN71 logo.
1.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
• Do not allow children to play without (parental) supervision.
• Climbing or playing on the top bar of a AXI swing is not permitted.
• AXI swings are suitable for up to two children and one adult (maximum weight - 150 kg).
• AXI swings are deliverd with ground anchors for more stability and safety.
2. ASSEMBLY
• The assembly of the swing must only be done by an adult.
• It is strongly recommended that a AXI swing with a raised base framework should be anchored with an anchoring set (can be
purchased separately). This increases the stability and therefore the safety of the swing.
• Do not place the AXI swing on a hard surface, such as concrete or asphalt. A fall from the swing onto a hard surface can cause
serious injury. A shock-absorbent surface around the AXI swing, like grass, wood chips or sand is recommended.
• Place the AXI swing on a fl at surface and at least 2.00 metres away from other structures and other obstacles such as house
walls, garage, fence, overhanging branches or clotheslines.
• The distance between the rocking element and the ground must be at least 35 cm.
3. MATERIAL
AXI swings are made of Hemlock with FSC quality mark. This wood has a natural resistance to wood rot and pests. To give the
wood an extra protective layer and to fi nish off the wood, it has been treated with a water-based stain. This stain, which is based
on natural components, is not harmful to humans or the environment.
4. MAINTENANCE
• Check whether all the nuts are on the bolts and whether there are any sharp edges, replace part as necessary.
• It is necessary to check regularly for splinters, loose screws and the tightness of joints and/or fastenings. If necessary, nuts and
bolts must be tightened. 'Regularly means: when you put it up and twice a month during the outdoor play season.
• Once a year check the state of the protective stain layer. To ensure the optimum durability, the AXI swing needs to be given a
new coat of stain every two years. Use a water-based paint / stain based on natural components for this.
WARNING!
• A fall from a swing onto a hard surface can cause serious injury. AXI cannot be held responsible if this occurs. Always place the
swing on a soft surface.
• AXI swings are designed for private use. These swings must not be rented or placed in public places like schools and day-
care nurseries. In the case of rental or use in public places, any guarantee or warranty becomes invalidate and other liabilities
claims lapse.
• Wood is a natural product that is subject to the effect of the weather that may cause the wood to warp and split. No guarantee
is provided for the consequences of weather conditions on the construction that do not cause any damage, such as splits in the
wood and warping of the panels.
