than one person on the Rectangular Tree Glider. Do not use headphones

while using the Rectangular Tree Glider.

OPERATING INFORMATION: Instruct children not to walk close to, in front

of, behind, or between moving items. Instruct children to sit in the center

of the swing with their full weight on the seat. Instruct children not to twist

swing chains or ropes or loop them over the top support bar since this may

reduce the strength of the chain or rope. Instruct children not to swing

an empty swing. Instruct children not to use the equipment in a manner

other than intended. Make sure children do not climb when equipment is

wet. Make sure children are not wearing inappropriate items, such as but

not limited to loose-tted clothing, hood and neck drawstrings, scarves,

cord-connected items, capes and ponchos. These items can cause death

by strangulation. Make sure children do not get off equipment while it is in

motion. Instruct children not to attach the item to the playground equipment

that is not specically designed for use with the equipment, such as but not

limited to jump ropes, clothesline, pet leashes, cables and chains as they may

cause a strangulation hazard. Make sure to dress children with well-tting and

full foot-enclosing footwear. Examples of inappropriate footwear are clogs,

ip ops, and sandals. Never add extra length to chains or ropes. The chains

or ropes provided are the maximum lengths designed for the swinging.

DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS: Disassemble and dispose of the playground

equipment in such a way that no unreasonable hazards remain. Follow all

local disposal requirements.

CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET FOR PLAYGROUND

SURFACING MATERIALS

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that

about 100,000 playground equipment related injuries resulting from falls

to the ground surface are treated annually in the U.S. hospital emergency

rooms. Injuries involving this hazard pattern tend to be among the most

serious of all playground injuries, and have the potential to be fatal,

particularly when the injury is to the head. The surface under and around

the playground equipment can be a major factor in determining the

injury causing potential of a fall. It is self evident that a fall onto a shock-

absorbing surface is less than likely to cause a serious injury than a fall

onto a hard surface. Playground equipment should never be placed on

hard surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, carpet, grass or any other hard

surface. Grass may appear to be acceptable, it may turn to hard packed

earth in areas of high trafc. Shredded bark, wood chips, ne sand or

ne gravel are considered to be acceptable shock-absorbing surfaces

when installed and maintained at a sufcient depth under and around

playground equipment. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious in

injury or death to the equipment user.

Package Contents

Make sure all parts are present & place

them side by side for easy identification.

STEP 1

Find a healthy, strong hardwood tree that has a branch* that stretches at least 8

feet (2.4m) from its trunk and has a circumference** between 25

to 100 inches

(64.1 to 254cm). The tree branch should be at least 8 feet (2.4m) from the ground.

The tree trunk should have a circumference of at least 25

inches (64.1cm). The

tree and its branch should be strong enough to hold at least 200 lbs. (90.7 kgs.)***.

Clear the surrounding ground of debris prior to installing your swing. Make sure

the tree branch does not stretch: into a road, sidewalk, or street; over a

fence; someone else’s property; or any other obstacle.

*The tree branch must allow at least 12 inches (30.5cm) of clearance between the skateboard swing

& ground. The skateboard swing ropes are about 66 inches (167.6cm) in length.

**9-ft tree straps can only wrap around a tree branch of a max 100-inch (254cm) circumference.

Helpful hint: wrap tree straps around the tree branch for height adjusting purposes.

***Please note that the skateboard swing can only hold a person weighing up to 200 lbs.

WOODEN SKATEBOARD SWING

USING THE FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS

CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET FOR PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS

**The maximum fall height for this product is 60 in (152 cm).

We recommend using 6 in (15 cm) of Double Shredded Bark Mulch. **

Table 1 lists the maximum height from which a child would not be

expected to sustain a life-threatening head injury in a fall onto different

loose-ll surfacing materials if they are installed and maintained at depths

of 6, 9, and 12 inches. However, it should be recognized that all injuries

due to falls cannot be prevented no matter what surfacing material is used.

It is recommended that a shock-absorbing material should extend

a minimum of 6 ft. in all directions from the perimeter of stationary

equipment such as climbers and slides. However, because children may

deliberately jump from a moving swing, the shock absorbing material

should extend to the front and rear of a swing a minimum distance of 2

times height of pivot point measured from a point directly beneath the

pivot on the supporting structure.

This information is intended to assist in comparing the relative shock-

absorbing properties of various materials. No particular material is

recommended over another. However, each material is only effective when

maintained. Materials should be checked periodically and replenished to

maintain correct depth as determined necessary for your equipment. The

choice of a material depends on the type and height of the playground

equipment, the availability of the material in your area, and its cost.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY TIPS:

• Place the equipment on level ground, not less than 6 feet (1.8 m)

from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house,

overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical wires.

• Two adults in good physical condition are required for the following

assembly. Wear proper shoes. Failure to follow all instructions and

warnings exactly may result in serious injury.

• Keep children away from the swing during assembly.

• Keep ngers away from the ends of the rails in the connecting area.

• Take the tree glider out of the box and check the material. If the

material has any structural damage such as bents or tears on the net,

stop use immediately.

• Conrm that the supporting structure (e.g. tree) is secure. You may

need to x the swing on two branches of a tree; if only a single

branch, it should be at least 37 inches in circumference.

• Inspect the tree glider, support structure and the hanging hardware

(hanging kit) for defects including but not limited to: unexpected

dents in the tubes; unwoven strands or excessive twisting in the

tree glider ropes; rust or tears in the hanging kit; rotten or rusty

supporting structure; etc.

A feeter reading all the safety information on this page and the rst

page, you may now start to assemble your tree glider.

PIECES:

Make sure all parts are present & place them side by side for easy identicatio

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Lay the glider onto the ground (Fig. 1).

2. Firmly connect the glider's 4 support tubes by connecting each

small socket to each large socket (Fig. 2).

3. Make sure that the last connection is placed in the correct position.

After all 4 joints are connected together, place the frame on the

oor and make any additional adjustments. Be aware: when

connecting the last joints, avoid any injury by keeping ngers

cleared from the connection of small and large sockets.

4. Place a hex socket barrel bolt in each hole at each connection of

the frame and tighten with the allen wrench (hex wrench). Each

connection of the support tube frame must have a tightened bolt

securing the frame together. Do not use the tree glider if there is a

bolt missing (Fig. 3).

5. Check support tubes frame to make sure all connections have a hex

socket barrel bolt. Make sure the frame is strong and all the ropes

are untangled.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE ROPE:

1. If you want to adjust the height of the tree glider rope (Fig. 4):

• Shortening the height: Push bottom of the rope through the

S-ring, then pull the top rope

• Lengthening the height: Push bottom of the top rope through

the S-ring, then pull the bottom rope.

HANGING KIT INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Find a support structure such as the ones mentioned in the "Before

Assembly" section on the rst page. Make sure the support

structure is at least 60 inches (1.5 m) above the ground (Fig. 5)

2. Wrap each strap around the support structure. Distance each strap

40 inches (1 m) apart from each other. Attach each tree glider rope

loop to each heavy-duty carabiner clip and close the clips to secure

them (Fig. 6).

Adjusting height: Remove the tree glider rope loops from the

heavy-duty carabin

er clips. Wrap the straps around the support

structure until the tree glider is at least 2 feet (61 cm) above the

ground.
