ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 31 – Climbing Rope:
The Climbing Rope Assembly comes pre-knotted on approximately 12" cen-
ters. This is done to prevent the rope from separating 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 bottom 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 loosened. 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 EX-
TREME DANGER TO YOUR CHILDREN.

STEP 30 – Hand Grips:
Place one Hand Grip (I) flat against the outside face of the left
back Post as shown. The bottom hole of the Hand Grip should
be approximately 1-1/2" above the top of the angled Leg.
With the Hand Grip centered on the face of the Post, mark the
positions of the holes in the Hand Grip. Drill 1/8" diameter pilot
holes 1" deep at the marks. Fasten the Hand Grip using two
1/4" x 1-1/2" Lag Screws and two 8mm Flat Washers.
Place one Hand Grip flat against the outside face of the front
left Leg as shown. The top hole of the Hand Grip should be ap-
proximately 5-1/2" below the top of the angled Leg.
With the Hand Grip centered on the surface of the Leg, mark
the positions of the holes in the Grip. Drill and fasten the Hand
Grip as above.
Repeat with the remaining Grips on the other end of the gym on
the front right Post and back right Leg.
