Guidelines for Use
- Always start from a secure and stable platform.
- Always hold the trolley firmly with both hands (or hold on tight to the rope of the monkey swing if applicable).
- Release the trolley only when it has reached complete standstill, and feet can be placed onto the ground/platform.
- Always use the product under supervision of an adult.
- Always check the structure, fixings, trolley, cable tensioners, cable spanner and cable before using the zip wire.
- Do not allow children under, next to or in the neighbourhood of the construction when it is in use.
- Do not wear loose fitting clothing (ponchos, scarfs...) when using the zip wire. This can be dangerous because of entrapment risk.
- Do not use the zip wire when the construction and the trolley are wet.
- Only the KBT monkey seat with special D-shackle is permitted to be attached to the trolley of the zip wire. The use of any other seats, ropes.... is considered as inappropriate use and is deemed to be dangerous.
Inspection and Maintenance
The frequency of inspection and maintenance will vary with the type of equipment or materials used or other factors (e.g., heavy use, levels of vandalism, coastal location, air pollution, age of equipment, ...). All parts of the product need to be checked regularly by the user to minimise the risk of accidents. Special attention should be paid to the cable tensioners, cable spanner and trolley.
Routine Visual Inspection (Weekly to Monthly)
- Always check that the bolts and nuts are securely fastened.
- Check the shock absorbing surface for objects that don't belong there.
- Check for missing parts.
- Check the equipment ground clearances.
Operational Inspection (1 to 3 Months)
- Check the stability of the construction.
- Check every part for excessive wear and remove when necessary.
Annual Inspection (1 up to 2 times per year)
- Check for rust and corrosion.
- Check every part for excessive wear and remove when necessary.
Instructions for Cable Height
In order to assemble the zip wire correctly and safely, the following height requirements need to be followed. One end of the cable must be mounted at a higher level than the other end. These heights are dependent on the height of the user and the distance between the fixing points. In order to determine the right heights, the following steps must be followed:
- Measure the height of the user. If there is more than one user, and the difference in height is less than 15 cm, use the height of the tallest user. If the difference is more than 15 cm, the zip wire needs to be adjusted every time the user's height is outside the specified range.
- Add 75 cm to the measured height of the user and mark this point on the tree or construction frame.
- Measure the distance between the 2 fixing points. Determine the corresponding height in the following table and mark this height on the tree / construction at the other side.
Height User | Height Lowest Fixing Point (x) | Height Highest Fixing Point According to the Following Distances Between the 2 Fixing Points (y) | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
24.5m | 21.5m | 18.5m | 15.5m | 12.5m | ||
1.2m | 2m | 2.9m | 2.75m | 2.6m | 2.45m | 2.3m |
1.4m | 2.1m | 3m | 2.9m | 2.75m | 2.6m | 2.45m |
1.5m | 2.3m | 3.2m | 3m | 2.9m | 2.75m | 2.6m |
1.7m | 2.45m | 3.35m | 3.2m | 3m | 2.9m | 2.75m |
1.8m | 2.6m | 3.5m | 3.35m | 3.2m | 3m | 2.9m |

Product Assembly
-
Step 1: Wrap the cable sling around the tree. Pass the looped ends of the cable sling through the turnbuckle. Use the M13 wrench to fix one end and use the Y-type socket key M12 to tighten the turnbuckle's screws. Both ends are fixed in the same way.
Diagram Description: Shows a cable sling wrapped around a tree trunk, connected to a turnbuckle. The turnbuckle is then connected to a cable sling end. Close-up views show the use of M13 wrench (B) and M12 socket key (A) for tightening.
-
Step 2: Pass the main cable through the zipline trolley and spring brake.
Diagram Description: Shows the main cable (5) being threaded through the zipline trolley (3) and the spring brake (D). The spring brake is attached to the main cable.
-
Step 3: Wrap the main cable around the other tree. Fix the main cable with U-clamps. Tighten the screws of the U-clamps with the Y-type socket key M8. At least three U-clamps (the more the better) are required for fixing the main cable.
Diagram Description: Shows the main cable being secured to a second tree using U-clamps (C). The M8 socket key (A) is used to tighten the U-clamp screws. The spring brake (D) is also visible.
-
Step 4: Open the lock under the zipline trolley and install the swing on the lock.
Diagram Description: Shows the zipline trolley (3) with a mechanism to attach the swing (2). The swing is being attached to the trolley.
-
Step 5: Tighten the turnbuckle as shown in the figure to keep the main cable straight.
Diagram Description: Shows the turnbuckle (1) being adjusted to tension the main cable, ensuring it is straight.
