**Installation, Safe Use and Maintenance Instructions**

IMPORTANT: To keep children safe from harm, follow these precautions and instructions when installing,
using, or maintaining this playground equipment. You can also call us at 1-800-227-7529 for more
information or see http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/324.pdf.

Installation: Lay out all the pieces on the ground. Arrange them the way they will eventually connect as the
finished assembly, approximately, two to three feet from where the set will set into the ground. You should
have your holes dug 2 ft deep to place in the galvanized pipe legs. Be sure to cement them in well before
letting your children play.

Slide the two end frame fittings on each end of the top pole. Tighten the two included set screws on each
side of the top of the end frame fitting. Then slide the poles into each leg of the end frame fitting and tighten
the included set screws for each leg.

Hangers should be spaced 2 ft from the end of the set and 2 ft a part for each swing. Place the two halves of
the hanger around the top rail of the swing set. The swinging pendulum or shackle will be facing downwards.
The side bolts are placed with the heads on the top of the hanger and the threads facing downwards with
the nuts on the bottom. Using no more than 50 lbs. of torque tighten the side bolts. After tightening, the
threads should not be showing more than two threads past the nut, and the hanger should fit snuggly on the
pipe. Grease or oil bushings if squeaking noises are heard. Use the H175 to open shackle bolt. Slide chain
on the bolt and then tighten in the hanger until snug. If not using the Jennswing then you must attach swing
to the bottom of the chain with 4 H-shackles.

If using S-hooks you will need to make sure the S-hooks are closed to within .04 to meet ASTM safety
standards. To do this you will need to use our S-hook pliers or a regular pair of channel lock pliers.
WARNING: Once the S-hooks have been opened they will have to be replaced to avoid injuries from coming
open and/or breaking. Make sure that the shackles used are tightened and if you use the shackle swing
hangers for the chain that these also are tightened. Inspect regularly or use Loctite® to make sure bolt is still
tight.

Safe Use: This is for children 5-12 year olds only. Not for Adults. Adults should supervise children at all
times. Do not allow children to stand on or use unsafely. Do not allow it to be used if damaged.

Maintenance: Do the following to reduce the chance of serious injuries. Check monthly for cracks, rust,
missing rivets, open S-hooks or evidence of vandalism such as cutting, metal showing through the material
or bent seats from children standing on them. Tighten and lubricate all metallic moving parts per
manufacturer’s instructions. Check all protective coverings on nuts, bolts, pipes, edges, corners and all
moving parts including swing hangers, swing seats, ropes, cables, chains and shackles. Replace as needed.
Make sure there are no exposed footings, anchoring devices, rocks, roots, holes or any other obstacles in or
around playground equipment. In high use areas these inspections should be done more frequently. Clean
with mild soap and water when you do the monthly maintenance checks.
