STEP 4. Repeat STEP 2 and STEP 3 to attach
the other
Curved Oak Arm.
STEP 5. To attach the hanging chains, first place a Washer
on
the eye bolt end of the shorter section of one Chain
and Ring Assembly, then insert the end of the eye bolt
through the outside hole on one Oak Top Stick. On the
protruding end of the eye bolt, add first a Washer and then
a Nut (
FIGURE 4
). Tighten with your 9/16” wrench or adjust-
able wrench, but do not over-tighten.
STEP 6. On that same Chain and Ring Assembly from STEP 5,
place a Washer on the eye bolt end of the longer section
of chain, then insert the eye bolt through the outside hole
on the Oak Bottom Stick on the same side of the swing; this
hole is drilled through the narrow side of the stick. On the
eye bolt’s protruding end, add first a Washer and then a
Nut
(
FIGURE 3, previous page
).
Tighten with your 9/16” wrench
or socket, or adjustable wrench, but do not over-tighten.
STEP 7. Repeat STEP 5 and STEP 6 to attach other Chain and
Ring Assembly.
STEP 8. Take the remaining two Carriage Bolts (size 1¼” x
3/8”) and fit them (from front to back) through each re-
maining hole on the Curved Oak Arms. Add first a Washer
and then a Nut, then tighten with your 9/16” wrench or
socket, or adjustable wrench, but do not over-tighten.
These bolts are for appearance only.
STEP 9. Slide each hole of the Oak Spreader Bar over one
free length of chain on the Chain and Ring Assembly, until
the wood rests atop an O-ring.
STEP 10. Fully tighten all the Carriage Bolts only AFTER you
have already hung your swing.
HANGING FROM A WOODEN BEAM
STEP 1. Choose a hanging location 6½-8½ feet above
ground/floor level that will safely support 350 pounds. The
hanging beam should be wood, though
NOT spruce or
white pine, that’s free of knots, cracks and rot.
NOTE: The hanging bracket should ONLY be used with
wood; it’s NOT safe or approved for use with concrete
or steel surfaces, plastic construction, particle board or
other composite material, or vinyl siding. For installing in
any other surface but wood, consult a building expert for
advice on proper installation, including questions about
weight capacity of a potential installation surface.
Hatteras
Hammocks® is not responsible for improper installation.
STEP 2. Position the hanging bracket along the center of
the wooden beam you’ve chosen for hanging your swing.
Mark drill holes on the beam using a pencil through the
bracket’s two bolt holes.
STEP 3. Drill approximately 2½ inches deep at the spots you
marked through the bracket bolt holes.
STEP 4. Fit the S-hook onto the hang-
ing bracket
BEFORE bracket installa-
tion; the S-hook will
NOT fit onto the
bracket once the bracket is installed.
Next, position bracket holes over drill
holes, and install the two bolts by
hand. Tighten the bolts with a 7/16” wrench or socket, or
adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten, as bolts can strip
the wood, compromising the swing’s weight capacity.
STEP 5. Hook both free links of swing chain to the bottom of
the S-Hook. Adjust swing height by changing the length of
the hanging chains.
FINAL INSTALLATION ADJUSTMENTS
Before using your new swing, make sure it’s hanging
squarely; differing numbers of chain lengths on each side
can cause the swing to hang unevenly.
When sitting in the swing, your feet should touch the
ground with your knees slightly bent, for maximum comfort
and safety. Adjust the height of your swing to your tastes by
changing the chain lengths.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Your Hatteras Hammocks® Single Swing With Oak Arms,
crafted of the highest quality outdoor fabric available, is
made to be weather-durable and resistant to both fading
and staining. However, in order to keep your swing in the
best condition for the longest possible time, it’s nonetheless
advisable to bring it indoors during extreme weather condi-
tions, or extended periods of wet weather.
Periodic cleaning of the fabric will likewise help ensure
its longest possible life. Wash the fabric briskly with a mild
solution of liquid dishwashing soap and warm water, rinse
thoroughly with clean water and then allow the fabric to
air-dry. For stubborn stains or to remove suntan oil, use a
soft brush for scrubbing, or even a mild bleach-and-water
solution, again rinsing thoroughly and then allowing the
fabric to air-dry before re-hanging your swing, or storing it.
