Ensuring Safety of the Swing
Clearance distance should be 4m around the swing.
A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to the equipment user.
Do not use the equipment until properly installed.
This swing is not to be used in any other manner other than its intended use. Adult supervision is
required.
Adults should verify that the hanging ropes are secured and cannot be looped back on the swing.
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)
-Sit in the center of the swing with full weight on the seat if swinging alone
-Avoid swinging empty seats
- Do not lean heavily on the sides of tent
- Never lean on the gate of tent
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 the sing 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.
-Tighten all the buckles of tent
-Check all protective coverings on pipes, edges, and corners, and replace them if they are loose,
cracked, or missing.
-Check all moving parts including swing seat, ropes for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace as
needed. The hardware used for this swing (binding post, screw, S hook, lock washer, flat washer, and
metal ring) can be found at local hardware store.
