Instructions / Assembly

Cushioned Single Swing
Congratulations on your purchase of the Cushioned Single Swing.
We believe that you will find it a product of unsurpassed quality and durability
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Select a location for your swing that is 6 1/2 feet to 8
1/2 feet above ground or floor level and will support 350
lbs. Beam should not be spruce or white pine. Position
hanging system bracket along the center line of the
beam on which you wish to hang your swing. Make
sure beam has no knots or cracks or rot.
CAUTION:
A. Mounting Hardware included is safety rated ONLY
for load bearing structures. The steel hanging bracket
is not safety tested and approved for concrete surfaces,
steel or plastic construction, particle board and the like
material, or vinyl siding.
B. The steel hanging bracket is to make contact with
mounting surface. Structural support unit must
accommodate maximum safe weight limit of 350
pounds.
C. Prior to each use of your swing, inspect the ropes
and other materials in your swing including but not
limited to: the mounting hardware, installation points,
and objects supporting your swing for signs of
weakness or wear. Do not use if there are any signs
that the material or supports are not in proper
condition.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING
INSTALLATION, PLEASE CONSULT A BUILDING EXPERT. THE
HAMMOCKSOURCE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPROPER
INSTALLATION.
2. Mark drill holes on center line with a pencil where the
bolt holes are located on the bracket and expose bare
wood.
3. Drill holes where indicated by marked spots with a 1/
4” drill, approximately 2” deep.
4. Affix “S” hook to hanging bracket. Position bracket
with bracket holes over drill holes and install bolts by
hand. Tighten with wrench or socket. Do not
overtighten bolts. Bolts will strip the wood, thus causing
a reduction in load capacity.
5. Hook the chain on the swing to the bottom of “S”
hook. Adjust the height of the swing with the chain for
maximum comfort. When sitting in the swing, your feet
should touch the ground with knees slightly bent. Note:
The first time you hang the swing, it may seem too high
off the ground, however; the ropes will stretch, bringing
the swing to a more comfortable level. Simply adjust
the chain to put your swing at the desired height.
WARNING:
- Not recommended for use by children without adult
supervision.
- Your swing is not built to hold more than one person
at a time.
- Your swing is not designed for high, rough swinging
or twisting movements.
- Do not allow the chain to twist as the strength of the
chain is dramatically reduced when it is twisted.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
Thank you for purchasing the Cushioned Single Swing. The
following is a list of recommended maintenance
procedures to assure many years of satisfactory service.
The Cushioned Single Swing is designed to be weatherable
and resist fading. However, in order to keep your swing in
the best condition, bring it indoors and out of extreme
conditions. This keeps cushions dry and ready for the next
use.
Simply wash the cushions briskly with a soapy solution of
liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water to remove soap before air
drying. For stubborn stains or suntan oil, use Brush Tip or
Kleenol 1 Spot Remover. Follow the directions on the
container. Sponge thoroughly with clean water and air
dry.
