Do not install the swing over hard surfaces (e.g. concrete, asphalt). It is recommended to line the floor under the swing with
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 stabi-
lity. 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 whether individual parts are damaged. If so, do not use the product. Lay the seat
on the floor. First insert the two short U-frame elements into the loops provided on the seat (short side). Then thread the two
straight tubular frame elements into the loops of the seat (long side) and put all 4 parts together. Guide the eye bolts through
the holes provided in the frame structure. Fix the eye bolts with a washer and an M8 nut. Note: Self-locking nuts can be instal-
led on this product (recognizable by a colored plastic ring in an inner groove of the nut). Please note the following: Self-locking
nuts must not be reused after they have been loosened! The plastic ring inside the nut wears out when it is loosened and loses
its locking effect. Always replace self-locking nuts with new parts. Use the included wrench. The torque for tightening the nut
should be between 8 Nm and 10 Nm. Repeat this process for all screws.
Suspension and adjustability:
The swing can be hung on a suitable swing carrier with the help of the supplied retaining rings. The suspension means (retai-
ning ring) is always delivered preassembled. 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 preassembled 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. Une-ven 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. Con-
tinuous 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 acces-
sories 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 information
on this from your local waste disposal company.
