Safety Checklist: Read the Instructions Before Use

SET UP:

Choose an outdoor site with level ground, not less than 6′ from any structure or obstruction such as fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical wires. The distance in front of and behind the swing should be at least two times the distance between the swing seat and pivot point.
Make sure the landing surface underneath the swing is soft. Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet or any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury or death to the equipment user. Ideally, the swing should be hung over loose-fill materials such as wood mulch or chips, engineered wood fiber (EWF), or shredded or recycled mulch. Please reference recommendations in Loose-Fill Materials section.
Inspect all components for wear. Do not use if damaged.
Can be hung on an A-frame or swing set or on a tree limb of at least 10″ diam.
When selecting hanging hardware, only use stainless steel parts.
Distance between the ground and lowest point on the swing seat should be between 8″-18″.
The maximum fall height should not exceed 18″.

USE:

DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 4 TO USE THIS TOY.
The swing is intended solely for family and domestic use, not for a commercial playground or daycare.
Children must not use the swing until it has been properly installed.

CARE:

Please be sure to regularly examine all components for wear.
If damage is found, discontinue use and replace the swing.

AFTER USE:

When not in use, clean and dry swing. Store securely in a clean, dry place.

Safety Guidelines

Owners shall be responsible for maintaining the legibility of any warning labels. Following the safety guidance and warnings below will reduce the likelihood of serious or fatal injury.
Clearance distance should be 6′ around the swing. The distance in front of and behind the swing should be at least two times the distance between the swing seat and pivot point.
WARNING: A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to the equipment user.
WARNING: Do not use the equipment until properly installed.
WARNING: This swing is not to be used in any other manner other than its intended use.
WARNING: Adult supervision is required.
WARNING: Adults should verify that the hanging ropes are secured and cannot be looped back on the swing.
We recommend no more than 2 kids on the swing at one time, with no more than 450 lbs. of combined weight on the item at the same time.
Never add extra length to chain or rope. The chains or ropes provided are the maximum length designed for the swinging element(s).
WARNING: It is important for adults to instruct children to:

Dress appropriately while using the swing (avoid ponchos, scarves, and other loose-fitting clothing that is potentially hazardous).
Instruct children when swinging alone to put their full weight in the center of the swing.
Avoid swinging empty seats.
Warning! Please be sure children wear well-fitting footwear that fully encloses the foot when using this swing. Clogs, flip-flops, and sandals are considered inappropriate footwear.

WARNING: It is important for adults to instruct children NOT to:

Walk close to, in front of, behind, or between moving items.
Twist ropes or loop them over the top support bar since such action may reduce the strength of the rope.
Get off of the swing while it is in motion.
Climb on the swing when it is wet.
Attach additional items to the swing that might cause a strangulation hazard. Wear a bicycle or sport helmet while on the swing.

Maintaining the Swing

At the beginning of each play season, adults should:

Tighten all hardware.
Check all protective coverings on pipes, edges, and corners.
Replace if they are loose, cracked, or missing.
Check all moving parts including swing seat, ropes, and bungees for wear, rust, or other deterioration. If damage is found, discontinue use.
Check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a non-lead-based paint meeting the requirements of 16 CFR 1303.
Lubricate all metallic moving parts. If the swing is hung from swing set frame, then lubricate all metallic moving parts that are attached by a metal connection.
Reinstall any plastic parts, such as swing seats or any other items that were removed for the cold season.
If the swing is hung from a tree branch, then rake and check depth of loose-fill protective surfacing materials (such as mulch or sand) to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate depth (minimum amount is 9″). Replace as needed.

Loose-Fill Materials should be placed under the item and 6′ out in all directions.

Maintain a minimum depth of 9″ of loose-fill materials such as wood mulch/chips, engineered wood fiber (EWF), or shredded/ recycled rubber mulch for equipment up to 8’H; and 9″ of sand or pea gravel for equipment up to 5’H. NOTE: An initial fill level of 12″ will compress to about a 9″ depth of surfacing over time. The surfacing will also compact, displace, and settle, and should be periodically refilled to maintain at least a 9″ depth. Use a minimum of 6″ of protective surfacing for play equipment less than 4’H height. If maintained properly, this should be adequate.
(At depths less than 6″, the protective material is too easily displaced or compacted.)
Use containment, such as digging out around the perimeter and/ or lining the perimeter with landscape edging. Don’t forget to account for water drainage.
Check and maintain the depth of the loose-fill surfacing material.
To maintain the right amount of loose-fill materials, mark the correct level on play equipment support posts. That way you can easily see when to replenish and/or redistribute the surfacing.
Do not install loose fill surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.

Twice a month during play season, adults should:

Tighten all hardware.
Check all protective coverings on pipes, edges, and corners.
Replace if they are loose, cracked, or missing.
If the swing is hung from a tree branch, then rake and check depth of loose-fill protective surfacing materials (such as mulch or sand) to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate depth (minimum amount is 9″). Replace as needed.

Once a month during play season, adults should:

Check all moving parts including ropes for wear or other deterioration. If damage is found, discontinue use.
Lubricate all metallic moving parts.
If the swing is hung from a tree branch, then rake and check depth of loose-fill protective surfacing materials (such as mulch or sand) to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate depth (minimum amount is 9″). Replace as needed.

At the end of each play season or when the temperature falls below 40°F, adults should:

Remove the swing from its outdoor location.
Spot clean.
Disassemble and store the swing in a dry environment.
To reassemble, reinstall all plastic components, and any additional parts that may need to be replaced.

Please Note: This swing has been protected with a UV-resistant coating; however, prolonged or consistent exposure to the sun and UV will significantly reduce its play life. We recommend storing this swing inside during periods of non-use.

Disposing of the Swing
To dispose of the swing, first disassemble it. Dispose of it in such a way that no unreasonable hazards will exist at the time that the swing is discarded.
This conforms to ASTM F1148, Consumer Safety Performance Specification for Home Playground Equipment.
Please retain these instructions for future use.
