1. General Preparations
Use only mountings with joints and suitable approval certification (e.g., Marathon). This also
applies to swings and rockers. In the case of municipal facilities or commercial use, observe
the general swing directives as well as Norm EN 1176. Check equipment regularly for
damage and make sure it is firmly anchored in the ground.
2. Assembly
We recommend two points of suspension, each with a double anchoring.
Observe the minimum lifting capacity of 6kN.
The outdoor suspension of the swing frame requires through-hole mounting. In the case of
wooden beam assembly, make sure you have a stable carrier beam (minimum thickness
12x14 cm); carrier screws must not stick out from the upper surface!
Hook assembly is only permitted in the case of private use. Exchange every one to two
years due to overload danger. Make sure the hooks are in the correct position.
3. Operation and maintenance
Inspection and approval of the correct positioning and tightness of all parts may be done
only by adult. Check and service at regular intervals and make sure that all screw
connections are screwed in tightly on all of the sections!
Warning:
Do not jump on the bent frame parts or place extreme or one-sided loads on it
.
This can lead to material stress and breakage.
4. Aligning the lying surface
Always hang up the swing at both rings.
All settings are made with rope shortenings at each rope.
Pushing the rope shortening upwards lengthens the rope,
Pulling the rope shortening downwards shortens the rope.
For alignment the lying surface must be unloaded.
The height adjustment is carried out by 4 rope shortenings.
The horizontal adjustment is carried out with 2 rope shortenings.
The final alignment is carried out with one rope shortening.
When shortening or lengthening the swing ropes, make sure that the ropes are always
the same length. Unequal rope lengths cause circular pendulum motions.
5. Strapping in babies and infants
Children under the age of 3 may only use the swing under the supervision of an adult. For
safety reasons, safety belts are obligatory for babies and infants.
6. Care and cleaning
For outdoors we recommend taking down the swing during frost or extended periods of rain,
in order to maintain the functionality of the high-quality impact protection.
Protect from frost!
The webbing can be washed in its entirety or in individual stripes. We recommend hand or
machine-washing up to 100 F or 40° Celsius. To clean or disinfect the impact protection, a
soft, soapy cloth should preferably be used. Do not use any abrasive cleaning materials,
steam-jet degreasers or similar.
Colour and technical changes reserved.
We wish you lots of fun, play and happiness, your Schaukel Team
