5. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of the TRIBECCO Square Swing Connector:

1. Prepare Wooden Posts: Ensure you have square wooden posts of 90x90 mm. Cut them to the desired lengths for the top beam and the A-frame legs.
2. Insert Posts: Slide the wooden posts into the open ends of the swing connector. The top beam will go into the horizontal opening, and the two A-frame legs into the angled openings.
3. Align and Drill: Align the wooden posts within the connector. The semi-open design allows for minor adjustments. Mark the positions for drilling through the pre-drilled holes (Ø 10 mm) in the connector and into the wooden posts.
4. Secure with Fasteners: Insert appropriate bolts (not included) through the drilled holes and secure them with nuts and washers. Ensure all fasteners are tightened firmly. There are fixation holes on both sides; simply screw a screw into one of the holes on the side you prefer.
5. Assemble A-Frame: Repeat the process for the other side of the swing frame if building a double A-frame structure.
6. Position and Anchor: Carefully raise the assembled swing frame. Position it on a level and stable surface. For enhanced safety, it is highly recommended to use ground anchors (not included) to secure the swing structure to the ground.

6. Operating Instructions

Once the swing structure is fully assembled and securely anchored, it is ready for use. Ensure that all safety guidelines are followed during play.

• Always supervise children when they are using the swing set.
• Ensure the area around the swing is clear of obstacles.
• Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the swing seats or the overall swing structure.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the safety and longevity of your swing structure:

• Monthly Inspection: Check all connections, especially the bolts securing the wooden posts to the TRIBECCO connectors. Tighten any loose screws or bolts. The innovative semi-open design allows for re-tightening even months after initial assembly.
• Inspect Wooden Posts: Look for any signs of rot, cracks, or splinters in the wooden posts. Replace damaged posts immediately.
• Check Coating: Inspect the powder coating for any chips or scratches that could expose the steel to moisture. Touch up with appropriate rust-preventative paint if necessary.
• Ground Anchors: If using ground anchors, ensure they remain firmly in place and are not corroded.
• Cleanliness: Keep the connectors free from dirt and debris. Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed.
