1. CHOOSING THE SITE:

• Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet, or any other hard

surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury or death to the equipment user. Due to the variety of

swing sets and places that this product can be suspended, we must urge caution when attaching the Dreamcatcher

to your structure.

• Protective surfacing under swings is recommended. “To and Fro” swings should have a fall zone extending a

minimum of 6 ft. (2 m) from the outer edge of the support structure on each side. The “fall zone” in front and back of

the swing should extend out a minimum distance of twice the height of the swing as measured from the ground to

cm) Before anyone uses the Dreamcatcher, a stress/weight test should be performed (see step 3).

2. ATTACHING THE DREAMCATCHER SWING:

• Use the carabiners included with your product to attach the rope to your structure. Other suitable hardware (ie.

chain, links or fasteners) may be needed (not included).

• Attach the swing to your structure at 6-24 In. (15-60 cm) off the ground.

•ADJUSTING HEIGHT: Your swing has adjustable S-hooks that allow you to adjust the hanging height of the swing.

Recommended swing height is 12-18 In. (30-45 cm) above the ground depending on the height of the rider.

MANDATORY LOAD STRESS TEST:

9. MAINTENANCE OF YOUR DREAMCATCHER

Take down your Dreamcatcher when not in use for long periods of time, this will help prevent UV damage

and weathering of materials and unsupervised usage.

At the beginning of each play season:

• Tighten all hardware - check all connections for any hint of looseness, damage, deterioration, excess wear, rope

fraying, breaks or sharp edges and replace as necessary.

Once a month during play season:

• Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are loose, cracked,

or missing.

• Check all moving parts: including all grips for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace as needed.

• Perform the Load Stress test.

• If using a step ladder or other platform, inspect it every month for looseness, stability & wear.

Twice a month during play season:

• Tighten all hardware - Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are

loose, cracked, or missing.

• Rake and check depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain

8 ft high (2.5 m); and 9 in. (23 cm) of sand or pea gravel for equipment up to 5 ft (1.5 m) high. NOTE: An initial fill

level of 12 in. (30 cm) will compress to about a 9 in. (23 cm) depth of surfacing over time. The surfacing will also

compact, displace, and settle, and should be periodically refilled to maintain a least a 9 in. (23 cm) depth.

1. CHOIX DU SITE D’INSTALLATION:

• N’installez pas l'équipement de jeu sur du béton, de l'asphalte, de la terre compacté, de l'herbe, un tapis, ou toute

autre surface dure. Une chute sur une surface dure peut entraîner des blessures graves ou la mort de l'utilisateur

de l'équipement. En raison de la variété des systèmes de balançoires et des endroits où ce produit peut être

suspendu, nous vous exhortons de la plus grande prudence lors de la fixation du Dreamcatcher à votre structure.

• Un revêtement de protection sous les balançoires est recommandé. Les balançoires de type « mouvement d’avant

en arrière » doivent avoir une zone de chute d'au moins 2 m du bord extérieur de la structure de support de chaque

côté. La « zone de chute » à l'avant et à l'arrière de la balançoire doit s'étendre sur une distance minimale de deux

STRUCTURES DU SUPPORT : Soyez certain que la structure aérienne peut supporter au moins 227 kg. Si vous

recommandé de la branche d'arbre est de 25 cm. Avant que quiconque utilise le Dreamcatcher, un essai de
