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 delivered content for completeness. Check whether individual parts are damaged. If so, do not use the product.
Assembly by adults only. Risk of crushing. Since the swing frame can be under tension, two people are recommended to
set it up.
Lay out the seat on the floor. Before assembling the frame parts, make sure that the EPE impact protection is pulled over
the steel tubes.
First insert the two curved frame elements into the loops on the seat fabric (short side, top and bottom).
Plug the two longish side tubes together. Guide the eye bolts through the specified holes in the frame construction.
Fix the ring bolts with a washer and a nut M8.
Then thread the two straight, screwed tube frame elements into the loops of the seat (long side) and plug all 4 parts
together. Guide the eye bolts through the specified holes in the frame construction. Fix the ring bolts with a washer and
a nut M8.
Note: Self-locking nuts may be installed on this product (identified 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 as a result. Always replace self-locking nuts with new parts.
Use the included wrench. The torque for tightening the nut should be between 8Nm and 10Nm. 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 ring
(retaining ring/ O-ring made of stainless steel) is always delivered preassembled. The suspension points must be at
least the width of the swing seat (+ 100mm). The suspension connections must be designed in such a way that they can-
not 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. Uneven rope lengths lead to irregular swing movements. Never hang
on the ropes crossed or on only one suspension point. The optimal length is reached when the swinging person 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
information on this from your local waste disposal company.
