6. FINAL TUNING
• After the Course Speed Test, your zipline cable may “stretch” slightly (this is normal) and require some
additional tightening by loosening your U-Clamps, pulling the slack out (Remember to have your 2
helpers with brooms lift and support the cable and trolley while you are pulling out the slack) and then
re-tightening the U-Clamps
• Check the tightness of all nuts and bolts of all clamps and the trolley.
• Always walk the area and remove any rocks, debris, or other objects that might cause harm to the
rider. NEVER assume that the course is clear, check it before each use.
• If you have extra cable at the end of your setup you must either coil up carefully the extra cable and
clamp and place a piece of tape on the cut end to prevent possible injury.
• Check the rope knot on the bottom of the seat and make sure the knot will NOT pull through the seat.
• Check the trolley grips and make sure they do not slip or twist.
• ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR RIDERS KNOW AND FOLLOW THE RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS!
Install your cable entanglement safety tape at both ends of the cable.
• Wrap your tape around each Y opening to where the cable separation is at least 3 cm or more
WARNING! -
NEVER use a brake
system that stakes into the
ground, as it can become
a dangerous projecttile.
You must tape up
to where the open-
ing is at least 3 cm
