ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 31 – Climbing Rope:
The Climbing Rope Assembly comes pre-knotted on approxi-
mately 12" centers. This is done to prevent the rope from sep-
arating and it provides a better grip. DO NOT MODIFY THE
DESIGN OF THIS ROPE. IF THE ROPE IS REPLACED, IT
IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU MAINTAIN THE
SAME DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION.
Insert the Climbing Rope (W) though the hole in the Upper
Rope Support. Tie a figure eight knot at the end of the rope,
inside the gym. Leave at least 2" of rope beyond the end of
the knot.
Pre-stretch the rope before tieing the bottom end. The bot-
tom end of the Rope MUST pass through the hole in the
Rope Board and Rock Base Rail. Pull the Rope through the
hole until it is tight and tie a knot in the end. A figure-eight
knot is preferred, but an overhand knot can be used in the
lower position.

Check the rope periodically to ensure that it has not loos-
ened. Tighten the rope when necessary.
WARNING: AT NO TIME SHOULD THE BOTTOM END OF
THE ROPE BE UNTIED OR LOOSE ENOUGH TO FORM
A LOOP. THIS PRESENTS EXTREME DANGER TO YOUR
CHILDREN.
STEP 29 – Swing Mount & Swing Beam:
Find the center of the Main Beam on the back of the tower. (The Bolts securing the Center Block are at the center of the Main
Beam). Mark the Main Beam 3" from the center of the Beam and 1-1/2" from the top edge of the Beam. Drill a 3/8" diameter
hole through the Main Beam at the mark.
Find the Swing Mount in the Classic Pine Swing Beam box.(See below right for an illustration of the part). Hold the Swing
Mount against the Back of the Main Beam and End Support/End Tent Support. Align the hole near the bottom with the newly
drilled hole in the Main Beam. Use a level to make sure the Swing Mount is plumb.
