INSTALLATION and ASSEMBLY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please Note: Observing the following statements and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury. 
Do not substitute parts! 

The parts provided have been safety tested to exceed the maximum    

stresses expected to be encountered when using this product. If a part becomes damaged in any way  

email [email protected] for replacement information. 

1.  Be sure

 that the supporting trees or uprights are secure and will support at least 1250 pounds. 

If you are using 

uprights other than trees or are considering installation on other than level ground please 

email [email protected] for important safety information. 

2.  Be sure

 that the area between the trees or uprights is level and at a distance of not less than 6 feet from any structure or 

obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, tree trunk, interfering branches, laundry line or electrical wire. 

3.  The maximum fall height

 for this product is determined by measuring from the handles to the ground at the highest 

point of attachment to the tree or upright. This will vary depending upon the height of the user and the distance between 

the trees or uprights (see assembly instructions).

4.  Do not

 install ZL70 Zip Line over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet or any other hard surface. A fall 

onto a hard surface can result in a serious injury or death to the equipment user. 

(See enclosed CONSUMER 

INFORMATION SHEET FOR PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS)

.

5.  Cable height:

 For ZL70 Zip Line to operate properly and safely it is necessary to follow the mounting instructions 

carefully and observe the height recommendations. One end of the cable must be mounted at a lower level than the other 

end and depending upon the height of the user and the distance between the trees or uprights, these levels can be easily 

determined as follows:

5a.

 Measure the height of the user. If there is more than one user, and less than 6 inches in difference between their 

heights, then for this purpose use the height of the tallest user. If heights of the users differ by more than 6 inches, it is 

recommended that the height of the cable be adjusted to accommodate a user whose height is outside the range and that 

user not be permitted to ride until adjustment is made. Add 2 1/2 feet to the height of the user determined and mark this 

point on the upright intended to be the end point of the ride (i.e., if the user is 5’ 2” tall or 62 inches, then 62 plus  2 1/2 feet 

or 30 inches equals 92 inches or 7’ 8”). 

SEE TABLE

5b.

 Measure the distance between the uprights. For the full 70 feet add 2 1/2  feet (30”) to the height of the mark made on the 

end point upright and mark this point on the upright intended to be the starting point of the ride (i.e., 96” + 30” = 122” or 

10’ 2”). For each 10 feet less distance between the uprights reduce the add-on to the starting point by 6 inches (i.e. 60’ 

distance equals 2’ or 24” of add on at starting point.) 

SEE TABLE.

Please Note: Observing the following statements and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury. 

WARNING! 

Do not add additional slope to the cable. This will not improve the ride and may create a danger to 

the user!
