Assembling your swing
This swing is designed to be tight, so it does take some effort to put together.
Note: The below instructions show a 100cm swing in the photos, but the instructions still apply to the 150cm swing.
Ensuring Safety of the Swing
Clearance distance should be 2m around the swing.
A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to the equipment user.
Do not use the equipment until properly installed.
This swing is not to be used in any other manner other than its intended use.
Adult supervision is required.
Adults should verify that the hanging ropes are secured and cannot be looped back on the swing.
It is important for adults to instruct children to:
– Dress appropriately while using the swing (avoid ponchos, scarves, and other loose-fitting clothing that is potentially hazardous) (also avoid items that could damage the swing eg. metal buttons, shoes, zippers, toys).
– Sit in the center of the swing with full weight on the seat if swinging alone
It is important for adults to instruct children NOT to
– Walk close to, in front of, behind, or between moving items
– Twist ropes or loop them over the top support bar since such action may reduce the strength of the rope
– Get off the sing while it is in motion
– Climb on the swing when it is wet.
– Attach additional items to the swing.
– Stand or jump on the swing. This does not distribute the user’s body weight, so it could stretch or damage the swing. Sitting or laying is best.
Maintaining the Swing
At the beginning of the each play season, adults should:
– Check and tighten hardware if necessary.
– Check all protective coverings on pipes, edges, and corners, Replace if they are loose, cracked, or missing.
– Check all moving parts including swing seat, ropes for wear, rust, or other deterioration, Replace as needed. The hardware used for this swing (binding post, screw, S hook, lock washer, flat washer, and metal ring) can be found at local hardware store.
– Check metal parts for rust, if found, and repaint using a non-lead-based paint meeting the EN71 requirements.
– If the swing is hung from swing set frame, then lubricate all metallic moving parts that are attached by a metal connection.
– If the swing is hung from a tree branch, then rake and check depth of loose-fill protective surfacing materials(such as mulch or sand) to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate depth(Min amount is 25cm), replace as needed.
At the end of each play season, or when the weather is bad, adults should: – Remove the swing from its outdoor location.
– Store the swing in a dry environment.
