TIGHTENING AND ADJUSTING
•
YOUR BALANCE BLOX™: READ CAREFULLY! FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
DAMAGE TO YOUR BALANCE BLOX! DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
• Maximum Weight on the Balance Blox™ is 125 LBS (56 kg).
• Start by tightening one Balance Blox™ side first.
•
TO TIGHTEN
- Using your blox tool, start tightening each of the tall nuts approx. ½ of the way inside
the nut (you can check this by looking down inside the tall nut and observing the progress of the
U-Bracket threads). Now do the same to the other blox and U- Bracket and tighten it ½ of the way up.
Now you are ready to fine tune your Balance Blox™ slackline.
• Place a 125 LBS test weight
(DO NOT EXCEED 125 LBS)
on the center of the slackline-Note: The test
weight contact point on the slackline should be at least spread over 8 inches(length) of the slackline. If
the slackline touches the metal pole you will need to tighten it.
•
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN OR DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
• Start fine tuning by turning each set of four tall nuts two full turns at time ONLY! Then retest with your
test weight. Repeat until the slackline is just off ¼ of an inch (not touching) the metal pole with test weight
on the middle of the line.
•
NOTE:
Over time and use, your slackline will stretch, again follow the fine tuning instructions to adjust
your line.
USING THE BALANCE OR QUAD BLOX
• When kids are first using it, follow these simple suggestions: Assist them by having them hold their
arms above their head. Then, by taking one of their hands with yours, walk them across the line. Repeat
until they are comfortable with letting go of your hand.
Remember: The proper way to balance is to have your arms above your head! Have them play a game
on the line: have them count out loud how many steps they can take without falling off. This way they can
have fun increasing their steps along the line and will encourage them to keep their balance longer.
