Airwalker Safety
Remember that during treatment activities, the pull will not always be straight down. Even a
gentle swing on the equipment varies the angle of pull on the ceiling support point. There should
be no more than a 1/4 inch of movement in your eye bolt. A ceiling support eye bolt which
sways back and forth more that a 1/4 inch is UNSAFE. If your ceiling support point moves or
rotates, it is not safe and should not be used. To be safe, all ceiling support points must be able to
hold at least a 1000-pound load. The eye bolt should be at least six feet from any wall. Some
bolts, such a wood screws and bent wire bolts, are unable to withstand heavy loads and excess
movement. Eyebolts of this nature could pull or twist out of the ceiling support or even break in
half. Once installed, check the eye bolt and all other metal items for wear. Whenever metal rubs
on metal over a period of time, one of the pieces will eventually start wearing. Check your
equipment regularly, when it begins to show visible signs of wear, arrange to have it fixed or
replaced.
Airwalker Precautions
The Airwalker is designed to be hung by itself – please do not add any additional hanging
equipment on the Airwalker suspension system. Periodically inspect the adjustable hanging
strap and contact Dye-namic Movement Products, Inc. for replacement if there are significant
signs of wear or fraying.
For your safety, do not use other hanging straps or connection components other than those
provided by a professional installer or the SouthPaw hanging kit. Many common eyebolts,
consumer load straps and carabiner-style clips will not meet this product’s safe load
requirements.
