 **INSTALLATION, SAFE USE & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS**

 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:  The new CPSC standard states the owner/operator of the swing set needs to post warning signs outside the use zone that are readily visible to the intended viewer and alert them to the potential hazard in time to take appropriate action.  This message may be on either a sign or label outside the use zone.  Signs should state “This swing set is for children 5-12 year olds only for standard swing seats.  Not for Adults.   Adults should supervise children at all times.  Do not allow children to stand on or use unsafely.  Do not allow set to be used if damaged. Remove helmets, drawstrings or accessories around the neck which are all known to create head entrapment or entanglement hazards. Where applicable, hot play surfaces are known to reach temperatures high enough to cause serious burns to children generally less than 4 years of age.  Must have adequate surfacing under swing sets to prevent injury from falls.”

Specifications for all warning signs or labels should conform to ANSI Z535.1 and ANSI Z535.1 or ANSI Z535.1 in the following areas: legibility, type of lettering, clarity of message and symbol, color specifications and work message and visibility.  The labels or signs should be durable and conform to UL 969.  It has been and continues to be the responsibility of the owner/operator to replace signs or labels or both should they become illegible, destroyed or removed.

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. 

 Any damage from vandalism, abuse or misuse VOIDS all warranties.
