2) Undo the last knot securing the base of the eye and take
out a few turns of the binding and re-tie tig
htly. Don’t trim the
loose end until you are sure you have got it right.
TANGLING
The end strings of your hammock can get a little tangled
when not in use. Before hanging check for tangles by taking
the eye in one hand and the corner of the fabric in the other
and spread the end strings out. They should fan out evenly
–
if not you’ll see something similar to Fig. 11 or 12. Pass the
eye through the end strings as shown by the arrow until the
end strings spread evenly. Repeat for the other end of your
hammock.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. To avoid falling from a hammock, care should be taken when getting on to it. Firstly, sit in the
middle of the hammock, facing out. Then twist the body until on to the hammock. NEVER
JUMP DIRECTLY ON TO THE HAMMOCK.
2. When on the hammock, lie in the centre and do not lean towards one side as it may result in a
fall. This hammock is designed for use by only one person at a time.
3. DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED. Children should also be helped on to and off the
hammock.
4. HAMMOCK MUST BE HUNG AND CHECKED UP BY AN ADULT. In securing the hammock,
the use of strong metal hooks, well secured onto posts, trees or roof structures is
recommended. The hammock ends can then be directly attached to these hooks. Any post,
tree, roof eave etc. should be judged to be strong enough to support the weight of intended
users. If using ropes to connect the hammock ends to hooks or other structures, please
ensure all knots are tied securely and will not come loose.
5. If securing to posts or trees, ensure hammock is secure so ropes will not slide downwards.
Posts should be rounded so that ropes will not fray with use. ROPES AND KNOTS SHOULD
BE ALWAYS CHECKED BEFORE USE.
6. The hammock should be inspected each time before use. Replace or re-do any suspect ropes
or knots.
7. When not being used, keep in a dry place. Only roll and pack hammock when it is dry.
