Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your swing seat. Ensure the chosen installation location is safe and free from obstructions.

1. Choose a Suitable Location

Select a sturdy support structure (e.g., a swing frame, a strong tree branch, or a ceiling beam) capable of safely supporting the swing and its maximum load (150 kg) with dynamic forces. Ensure there is adequate clear space around the swing for safe operation.

2. Acquire Mounting Hardware

As hooks and carabiners are not included, purchase appropriate mounting hardware suitable for your chosen support structure (e.g., concrete anchors, wood screws with eye bolts, or heavy-duty swing hangers). Ensure the hardware has a weight rating exceeding 150 kg.

3. Attach Ropes to Swing Seat

The swing seat comes with pre-drilled holes for the ropes. Thread each of the two 3.5-meter ropes through the designated holes on the wooden seat. Securely knot the ropes underneath the seat to prevent slippage. Ensure the knots are tight and stable.

At the top end of each rope, attach the provided metal rings. These rings will connect to your mounting hardware.

5. Mount the Swing

Using your acquired hooks and carabiners, securely attach the metal rings of the swing ropes to your chosen support structure. Double-check all connections to ensure they are tight and safe. The ropes are adjustable in length; adjust them to achieve the desired swing height, ensuring the swing seat is level.

Operating Instructions

• Storage: When not in use, especially during adverse weather conditions (rain, snow, extreme temperatures), store the swing seat in a dry and clean indoor location to preserve its natural materials and extend its lifespan.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the ropes, knots, wooden seat, and metal rings for any signs of wear, fraying, cracks, or damage. Check that all knots are secure and tight.
• Replacement: If any component shows significant wear or damage, discontinue use immediately and replace the affected part or the entire swing seat.

Troubleshooting

  • Discontinue use immediately.
