Intended use: This product is intended for private use for anchoring Slacklines outdoors on the ground to support slacklines up to 85 cm height above the ground and up to 25 m length with a maximum total user weight of 150kg. It is not suitable for children under 6 years. Safety instructions risk of injury: Slacklining is a sport with significant risks of injury. The use of the product is at your own risk! Read the manual of the slackline carefully, and observe its safety instructions, too! Only use this product for the purpose described in these instructions and in the specified manner! This product is not for use by children or persons unable to safely use or set it up based on their physical, sensory or mental capacity or their lack of experience or knowledge! The product must always be assembled by adults. Keep product out of reach of children at all other times! Always fully assemble the product as described before use. Never use less than 4 pegs per anchor! Always use the protective hose on the frame support plate and secure the clamp lock of the frame brace (= carrying strap) with the supplied plastic plug to prevent unintended opening (child lock). Before every use verify the product's perfect condition. Discontinue use if any damages in the slackline, transport-straps or extractionropes, ruptures in the seams, or deforming or corrosion of metal parts are detected, or product parts are missing! Transport-straps, extraction-ropes, transport box and the slackline are subject to natural ageing by sunlight. Replace parts as soon as they are bleached, brittle or rough! Children must be supported and supervised by an adult while using this product! Persons not directly supporting the slacklining person must keep a adistance of at least two meters as a rebounding slackline can cause serious injuries! Do not use this product in the dark! The Slackline must always be clearly visible! Always disassemble the Slackline at dusk to prevent others from tripping over it! Do not use the product under the influence of alcohol, medications or drugs or when fatigued! Immediately stop slacklining if you feel unwell or light-headed! Use a cover for slackline anchors with reliable protection against injuries if you do not use our anchor cover (= transport box)! Secure all parts of the article during a transport according to the respective national regulations! Fill the transportation box at both ends with fill-material to avoid slippage of the content and the breaking of the caps. Use only tested and approved sledgehammer with approx. 4 kg, as well as the related protective gear to hammer down the pegs. 1/6 Version 2024-08 EN You must be an adult, as well physically and mentally able to use a sledgehammer. The frames must be secured from falling over as described in the instruction manual. If you use no bracing, there is the danger of injuring by frames that fall over. Do not run or take quick steps on the slackline! You could fall onto a frame. When balancing, always keep a sufficient distance from the frame to avoid falling onto it! Keep children away from erected frames! Do not hold onto frames or use them as a climbing aid! The max. allowable height of the frame for children is 40cm / 15.7in. Do not exceed the maximum attachment point load (slackline tensile load + dynamic tensile load of the user) of 1000 daN (10kN). The dynamic tensile load of the user may be about 3 times higher than his weight, or even more if he jumps on the line. Stop slacklining if the anchor lifts up more than 15 cm above the ground on its front end (at the Slackline) or lifts up more than 10 cm above the ground on its back end, and reinstall the anchor in a different place! (see chapter "Troubleshooting") Do not use the article for slacklines longer than 25m or "longlines"! Do not use slacklines with more than 8% stretch. With longer or more elastic slacklines, the elasticity of the slackline can cause the anchor to be thrown onto the user if it comes loose from the ground! Adjust the height of the frames to your skill! As the height increases, there is a risk that you will be seriously injured in a fall! Observe the corresponding notes of the Slackline instruction manual! Do not use the product for "highlines" (slackline higher than reasonable jump-off height)! If the anchor comes loose from the ground, this could result in serious injury! Do not use any extensions on the extraction-tool. The pin may bend with excessive loads or even break which can lead to injuries! Placing: 1. The place for the Slackline should be as free as possible of stones and sharp objects in a range of 2 m minimum left and right of the Slackline in order to reduce the risk of injury in the case of a fall. 2. Make sure that there are no underground pipes or cables or similar are less than 70 cm below the ground at the desired anchoring point. (By default, cables should be laid at least 1m below the surface - this information is provided without guarantee) 3. If you use a tree at one side, it must have a diameter of at least 30cm and must be stable enough (no rotten tree trunks). Don't forget to attach a tree protection to protect of the bark. Observe all notes of the Slackline manufacturer. Installing anchor: 1. Place the slackline at the desired location and in the desired length on the ground. 2. Place the anchor in front of the slackline. The arrow points to the slackline. 3. Hammer down peg 1 almost vertically through opening 1 of the anchor with a sledgehammer (approx. 4 kg). The pegs should have as little contact with the anchor as possible, otherwise they can become wedged together, and then they will be hard to remove. Hammer down the peg only up to the mark. Repeat the procedure for openings 2-4. While peg 1 is almost vertical, all the others are inclined in the direction specified by the arrows. If a peg hits solid rock, a large stone or a tree root, the anchor must be installed at another place. 4. In sandy or extremely soft ground or permanent installations hammer down 2 additional extra pegs (optionally available) through the X-holes of the anchor. 2/6 Version 2024-08 EN 5. Insert the extraction tools in the hole of peg 1 and 4, and turn the pegs until the extraction tools are at a slight angle in the longitudinal direction to the anchor. Hammer down the pegs 1 and 4 cautiously, until the extraction tools almost touch the anchor. The extraction tools can break if you hammer down the pegs deeper. Do NOT hammer the remaining pegs down deeper. 6. Place the transport-strap over the end loop of the slackline. Plug in both into the anchor and fix it with the screw and nut. Insert the end of the transport-strap into its clamp lock. 7. Pull the cover apart at one end and pull it over the entire anchor. You can also push the cover carefully with your foot. 8. Repeat the same procedure for the other side of the Slackline or use an alternative anchor point (e.g. a tree), which corresponds to the specifications and safety instructions of the Slackline manufacturer. Assembly frame: 1. Do not force the legs of the frame open beyond the stop! 2. Connect the legs of the frame to the cross tube. Depending on the design, bolts or screws can be used. The screws should only be tightened very lightly so that the legs can be moved without resistance. 3. You can change the height of the frames by telescoping the legs. 4. Frame heights from 40cm to 85cm / 15.7in to 33.5in are possible. 5. You can also compensate for slopes by telescoping the legs asymmetrically. Caution: The higher the frame, the greater the risk of serious injury in the event of a fall! Adjust the height of the frames to your skills! When balancing, always keep a sufficient distance from the frame to avoid falling onto it! Keep children away from erected frames! Do not hold onto frames or use them as a climbing aid! Max. Frame height of 40cm / 15.7in for children! 3/6 Version 2024-08 EN Set up slackline: 1. Place the frame two support heights (h) away from the anchor under the slackline on the ground. The support plate of the frame must point away from the anchor. 2. Tension the slackline as described by the manufacturer, but only very loosely so that the frames can still be erected. 3. Raise up the frame until it is slightly inclined towards the anchor 4. Place the bracing strap over the slackline and the support plate of the frame. 5. Adjust the bracing strap so that the frame is fixed in a vertical position. Without bracing the frame, there is a risk of injury from falling frames. 6. Fit the protective hose over the support plate of the frame. 7. Press the child safety lock (plastic plug) into the clamping lock of the frame bracing strap. 8. Tension the slackline as specified by the manufacturer. Check the position of the frames each time the slackline is tensioned. Initially, it will be necessary to tension the slackline several times, as it is still stretching and the ground must first compact before the pegs. Check all parts for signs of wear or other faults before each use. Special features for installation on sandy beaches: Six pegs per anchor are needed (set of 2 extra pegs per anchor optionally available). There are two methods for even higher holding forces: 1. a) Use two anchors in series by using an optional connector. b) Slide the connector (arrow above in the direction of the slackline) into the end of the rear anchor and secure it with the screw + nut. Insert the other end of the connector into the second anchor. c) Connect both anchors by driving a peg into the sand through the common opening 1. d) 4 pegs per anchor are sufficient here. The maximum attachment point load must not exceed 1000 daN (10 kN) here either. 2. install two anchors in a V-shape and connect them with a sling with a holding force of at least 2000 kg. The maximum attachment point load here is 2000 daN (20kN). If necessary, place short wooden boards or similar under the frames and the anchor to prevent excessive sinking. The slackline must be re-tensioned more often on sandy beaches, as this gives way more than other surfaces. 4/6 Version 2024-08 EN Dismantling: 1. Remove the protective hose and the bracing straps from the frames. Lay down both frames. Now the slackline can be easily detensioned. 2. Remove the cover and the slackline from the anchor. 3. The stronger and longer the anchor has been loaded, the easier it is to remove the pegs. Therfore, insert the extraction tool into the hole in one peg and connect it to the second extraction tool. First turn the peg using the extraction tools. Only then pull the peg out of the ground using simultaneous twisting and pulling movements. If this fails, try another peg - it is often easier to remove a peg if another one has been removed beforehand (repeal the spreading of the pegs with the anchor). Never use extensions for the extraction tool! The pin can bend or break under excessive loads! 4. If it still fails to move, wrap one end of the extraction rope twice around the peg and secure it by inserting an extraction tool through the hole in the peg. Pull the hose of the extraction rope all the way down. Place the other end of the extraction rope around the handle of the sledge hammer close to the hammer head and also pull the hose up to the hammer handle. Now repeatedly strike upwards with the sledgehammer until the peg is pulled out of the ground. For this procedure the peg must first be rotated with the extraction tool! 5. Pack the pegs - tip first - into the anchor. Place the folded frame together wirh the cross tube on the anchor, and place both simultaneously in the transport box. Pack the remaining parts and lash the end caps. 5/6 Version 2024-08 EN Troubleshooting: Anchor lifting up front side: A front lifting up to approx. 15 cm is tolerable. Further rises of the anchor: Reinstall the anchor. Increase the distance between the anchor and frame (a bit more than 2 frame-heights). If necessary, hammer down 2 additional extra pegs into the "X" marked bores (optionally available). All the pegs of the anchor must be hammered in again at a different position. Anchor lifting up backside: A back lifting up to approx. 10 cm is tolerable. Further rises of the anchors: Reinstall the anchor. Decrease the distance between the anchor and frame (a bit less than 2 frame-heights). If necessary, hammer down 2 additional extra pegs into the "X" marked bores (optionally available). All the pegs of the anchor must be hammered in again at a different position. Extraction-rope is damaged/bleached/brittle: Please replace it! Do not use normal ropes - these have usually less than 450 daN breaking load, are less wear-resistant and not UVstabilized. Maintenance, storage Store the product, when not being used, in a dry and clean room. Never clean with aggressive cleaning agents. Especially after contact with salt water/sand clean it with clear water and wipe it dry. The product will rust after prolonged contact with salt water - the used VA2 stainless steel is not salt water resistant. Do not sand down the pegs and the extraction tools - this will destroy the anti-corrosive layer, clean it with water and a brush only (a supposed layer of rust is usually just an adhesion of clay). The formation of a superficial layer of rust on the ground pegs cannot be prevented in the long term with permanent fixed installations, but does not impair the function. Disposal considerations Please take care of environmental and varietal dispose of packaging and product! Dispose of the product through an approved disposal or via their local municipal administration. Observe the currently applicable regulations.
