Tightening the Slackline

1.   Before tightening the slackline, check that both ends are at the same height.

2.  With the ratchet facing downward, feed the end of the slackline through the ratchet,

 

keeping the line flat and untwisted. Pull the end through until there is no slack left in the line. 

3.    Once all slack has been pulled through, use the lever arm on the ratchet to tighten the line. 

4.   The line is tight enough when it only bends slightly when pulled.

Loosening the Slackline

Always loosen the line before attempting to reposition obstacles or take down the line.

1.    Pull the safety latch inside the ratchet handle and open the ratchet all the way until it is completely flat. 

      There will be a loud click.

2.   Pull the slackline until the tension has loosened.

NOTE: do not remove the delta clips when the slackline is under tension.

Recommended courses:

Beginners:

use the beginner layout, but add the monkey fist to the start of the course.

Advanced: 

add up to 12 obstacles to the course, spacing them further apart for added difficulty.
