cushioning material (e.g. wood mulch, shavings, rubber mulch). Check the condition of the ground regularly and loosen
or fill it up again if necessary. Never install the product above water (e.g. paddling pool, river, lake, etc.). Risk of drowning.
Please ensure that the swing frame is sufficiently stable. For swings with crossbars, no responsibility can be taken for the
stability. The manufacturer's specifications apply. If necessary, seek advice from a specialist. It is essential to note the load
capacity of the swing base structure.
Assembly:
Check the delivery for completeness. Check if individual parts are damaged. If so, do not use the product. Lay out the
seat on the floor and fold up the velcro fasteners. Insert the 4 metal tubes with the foam cover into the loops included on
the seat. Always connect a narrow pipe end to a wide pipe end. First put two semicircle halves together and then connect
them as a circle. Insert the eye bolts through the velcro loop and then through the frame construction. Fix the eye bolts
with a washer and an M8 nut. Note: Self-locking nuts can be installed in this product. Please note the following: Self-locking
nuts should not be re-used after they have been loosened! The plastic ring inside the nut wears out and loses its locking
effect. Always replace self-locking nuts with new parts. Use the wrench included in the scope of delivery. The torque for
tightening the nut should be between 8 Nm and 10 Nm. Repeat this process for all screws. Fold the velcro loop over the
frame construction to protect against injuries.
Suspension and adjustability:
The swing can be hung on a suitable swing carrier with the help of the supplied retaining rings. The suspension means
(retaining ring) is always delivered pre-assembled. The suspension points must be at least the width of the swing seat (+
100mm) apart. The suspension connections must be designed in such a way that they cannot be accidentally loosened.
The rope lengths can be adjusted using the two pre-assembled height adjustment links. Push the rope evenly through the
links. Moving it upwards shortens the rope, moving it downwards lengthens the rope. The ropes must have the same length
on each side. Uneven rope lengths lead to restless swing movements. Never hang on the ropes crossed or on only one
suspension point. The optimal length is reached when the swinging people cannot touch the ground with his toes. Carry
out a stress test and make light test swings before starting.
Storage and maintenance:
Store the product in a dry and dark place out of the reach of children.
Protect the product from direct sunlight and other heat sources. These affect the UV stability and the material ages faster.
Continuous exposure to UV light can fade colors. This is not a safety hazard. To avoid early bleaching and corrosion, and to
extend lifetime, the product should be disassembled when not in use, especially in winter.
The swing must be checked and maintained for damage and wear before and after each use: Check that all nuts and bolts
are properly tightened. Tighten these if necessary. Oil all moving metal parts regularly. Check swing seats, ropes and other
accessories for signs of wear and tear and replace defective parts according to the manufacturer's instructions. Neglected
control and maintenance can lead to serious injuries due to material failure.
Only clean the product with a damp cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents, only water.
Disposal:
Send the packaging and the product to a return and collection system at the end of its service life. You can obtain informa-
tion on this from your local waste disposal company.
