THE FUNKY LEVELLING KIT IS ONLY REQUIRED FOR SLOPES OR UNDULATED GROUND THAT

THAN 100mm OR LESS THAN 600mm OVER A 3.0 METRE SPAN.
CALCULATING REQUIREMENTS
DESIGNED TO ASSIST IN CALCULATING THE NUMBER OF FUNKY LEVELLING KITS YOU WILL
REQUIRE TO INSTALL A FUNKY MONKEY BARS® FRAME ON YOUR SLOPE. THIS WILL VARY
ACCORDING TO YOUR FRAME SELECTION. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ARE PROVIDED IN A
SEPARATE DOCUMENT.
SELECT FRAME & ORIENTATION
Select your frame type from the next 3 pages. The chosen frame will generally have either 6,8,9,10 or 12 main legs (if not the same process applies). Use or draw up a leg location plan as shown (dimensions in mm-not to scale).
6 LEGS
Based on the Orangutan.
6 LEGS
Based on the Cheeky Monkey.
8 LEGS
Based on the Gorilla,Ninja, Lemur footprint.
10 LEGS
Based on the Gibbon.

Based on the Baboon.
4 LEGS
Based on the Original.
9 LEGS
Based on the Troop.
12 LEGS
Based on the Mandrill.
STAKE OUT LEG PLAN – (gorilla frame shown)
- Find the highest point where the highest leg will be located. (’A’ for this example)
- Measure and stake out the selected leg frame diagram from pages 1-3 in the chosen location for the frame.
- Ensure that there is the minimum clear safe fall-zone away from the legs (generally 2m.)
- Check the diagonals A-H and E-D are the same distance- this will confirm the frame is square.
Based on the Gorilla (8 legs from page 1).
MEASURE & RECORD FALL
- Tie a string line at ground level at ‘A’ (the highest leg location).
- Using the string line level and second person to confirm, run the string line to each staked leg position B-H.
- Measure and record the distance from the string line to the ground at each location ‘b-h’. Record results on page 10 table.
MEASUREMENTS
record height table
- Record the measurement of fall from the highest leg (A) to all legs and record measurements in Table ‘A’.
- Refer to Table B , calculate the quantity of leg bases and levellers you will require for each leg.
- Total up the quantities of bases and levellers you require.
- Order the required combinations of either ‘Funky Levelling Kit’ and/or ‘Extra Levellers x4’ to suit your needs.

476mm – 610mm| 4| 1|
DIG DOWN
There will be slopes where the base plate and the levellers will be too high
for certain vertical legs of your frame. In these instances you will be
required to “dig down” a small amount on some vertical legs to recess your
base plate as in figure 1.
NOTE: This will generally only occur if you have a measurement between
56mm -104mm or 196mm – 224mm.
