3. Setup and Installation

This swing seat requires no assembly of the seat itself. Installation involves attaching the swing to existing heavy-duty swing hangers on a playset or swing beam.

3.1 Required Tools (Not Included)

• Heavy-duty swing hangers (ensure they are rated for the swing's weight capacity)
• Wrench or pliers (if adjusting chain length or securing hangers)

3.2 Installation Steps

1. Inspect Hangers: Ensure your existing swing hangers are securely mounted and in good condition. They should be rated to support the swing seat and user's weight (up to 250 lbs).
2. Attach Chains: Connect the carabiner clips at the top of the swing chains to your heavy-duty swing hangers. Ensure the clips are fully closed and secured.
3. Adjust Height (Optional): The 58-inch chains are adjustable. If needed, use a wrench or pliers to open the chain links and adjust the swing height to a safe and comfortable level for the intended users. Ensure both chains are adjusted to the same length for even swinging.
4. Final Check: Before use, thoroughly check all connections to ensure they are tight and secure. Verify that the swing hangs freely and does not interfere with other playset components.
