MAINTENANCE
The following checks and maintenance should
be taken before using for the first time and
thereafter twice every month during the
playing season to ensure that the product is
safe to use.
• Lubricate the hooks and suspension.
Check the hooks and rings for rust that
can reduce the strength of the material.
If in doubt, replace!
• Check the seats and trapezes for cracks,
fractures and other damage.
• Check the suspension ropes for broken
strands and wear as a result of the
movement of the ropes and parts. To do
this the ropes must be removed from the
point where the wear or damage can be
assumed to be. If in doubt, replace!
• When used outdoors the ropes should be
replaced after 18 months.
• Wood is a natural material. Do not leave
the product outdoors and do not expose
it to precipitation or extreme weather,
for example very high or very low
temperatures.
• Store the swing indoors during the winter,
the cold can reduce its life span.
• The swing framework must be safely
anchored to the ground with suitable
ground screws or ground anchors,
so that it cannot tip over or move.
The product should be placed on a flat
surface with at least 1.8 m of free space
on all sides. If the ground surface is not
sufficiently solid to ensure safe
anchoring the ground screws should be
embedded in concrete. Make sure the
ground screws do not stick up – risk of
tripping over.
