or fatal injury.
• This swing come fully assembled — upon receipt check all parts including bucket, ropes,
straps, buckles and spring clips for any fractures, breaks, sharp edges, rust, or other signs
of damage or deterioraon and for any missing parts before moving on to the installaon
secon of the manual.
• DO NOT use swing if any damage or deterioraon is detected or missing parts. Contact
point of purchase retailer or M&M Sales Enterprises, Inc. Never substute parts.
• Please keep instrucons for future reference.
INSTALLATION
SWING SET OR OTHER HORIZONTAL BEAM ASSEMBLY:
To aach swing to an exisng swing set do so by removing a swing or playground
element from the exisng set and aach the two spring clips to the swing support hook
hardware installed on equipment. (See Figure: 1)
TREE LIMB OR CROSS BAR ASSEMBLY:
First test the tree limb or cross bar to ensure that it is secure, it will support at least
50 lbs., is over level ground, has a minimum height of 7 feet and is no less than 6 feet on
all sides from vercal elements. Swing should have a clearance of at least 1.5 mes the
total length of all the rope measured from the tree limb/horizontal beam to the spring
clips aachment point. (See Figure: 2)
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
• 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.
• To prevent serious injury, equipment must not be used unl properly installed.
ADJUST SWING HEIGHT
• Adjust swing hanging length so plaorm is parallel with ground. Boom of
swing should be no more than 24 inches and no less than 18 inches from the
ground.
• Ensure that the swing hangs horizontal aer adjustment of the ropes.
• Never add extra length to chain or rope. The chains or ropes provided are the
maximum length designed for the swinging element(s).
SECURE YOUR CHILD
1. Place your child in the swing, then place the safety belt over your child’s lap
and snap the connectors together. (See Figure: 3)
2. Tighten belt by pushing the anchor end of the belt up through the buckle,
creang a loop. Pull the free end of the belt to secure it in place. Repeat unl the
belt ts snuggly around your child’s waist. Do not over ghten. (See Figure: 4)
3. To loosen the belt push the free end of the belt up through the buckle,
creang a loop, then pull the anchor end of the belt.
SELECTIVE PROTECTIVE SURFACING
One of the most important things you can do to reduce the likelihood of serious head
injuries is to install shock-absorbing protecve surfacing under and around your play
equipment. The protecve surfacing should be applied to a depth that is suitable for
the equipment height in accordance with ASTM F1292. There are dierent types of
surfacing to choose from; whichever product you select, follow these guidelines
(See gure 5 and 6):
NOTE—Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, or any other
hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to the equipment user.
Grass and dirt are not considered protecve surfacing because wear and environmental
factors can reduce their shock absorbing eecveness. Carpeng and thin mats are
generally not adequate protecve surfacing. Ground level equipment such as a sandbox,
acvity wall, playhouse or other equipment that has no elevated play surface-does not
need any protecve surfacing.
LOOSE-FILL MATERIALS
• Maintain a minimum depth of 9 in. of loose-ll materials such as wood mulch/
chips, engineered wood ber (EWF), or shredded/recycled rubber mulch for
equipment up to 96 in. high; and 9 in. of sand or pea gravel for equipment up
to 60 in. high. NOTE: An inial ll level of 12 in. will compress to about a 9 in.
depth of surfacing over me. The surfacing will also compact, displace, and
sele, and should be periodically relled to maintain at least a 9 in. depth.
• Use a minimum of 6 in. of protecve surfacing for play equipment less than
48 in. in height. If maintained properly, this should be adequate. (At depths
less than 6 in., the protecve 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-ll surfacing material. To maintain
the right amount of loose-ll 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 ll surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.
