How to handle the swing

■Make sure that usage does not commence until the apparatus has been properly assem-

bled and subsequently controlled by an adult.

■Instruct children on the proper handling of the apparatus and advise them of possible dangers.

■Remember that the children's natural play instinct and temper may lead to unforeseeable

situations excluding a responsibility of the manufacturers.

■Although dangers to children during proper use of the apparatus are highly unlikely, all

play on the apparatus should be monitored by an adult.

■For cleaning and caring the swing only use environmentally friendly and no aggressive or

corroding agents.

■Regularly grease the moving parts with some drops of oil.

Instructions for Assembly

■Ensure that you have received all the parts required (see check list) and that they are un-

damaged. Should you have any cause for complaint, please contact your KETTLER dealer.

■Before assembling the equipment, study the drawings carefully and carry out the operati-

ons in the order shown by the diagrams. The correct sequence is given in capital letters.

■The fastening material required for each assembly step is shown in the diagram inset. Use

the fastening material exactly as instructed. The required tools are supplied with the equip-

ment.

■The equipment must be assembled with due care by an adult person. If in doubt call upon

the help of a second person, if possible technically talented.

■Please note that there is always a danger of injury when working with tools or doing ma-

nual work. Therefore please be careful when assembling this machine.

■Ensure that your working area is free of possible sources of danger, for example don’t lea-

ve any tools lying around. Always dispose packaging material in such a way that it may not

cause any danger. There is always a risk of suffocation if children play with plastic bags!

■Bolt all the parts together loosely at ﬁrst, and check that they have been assembled cor-

rectly. Tighten the locknuts by hand until resistance is felt, then use spanner to ﬁnally tigh-

ten nuts completely against resistance (locking device). Then check that all screw connec-

tions have been tightened ﬁrmly. Attention: once locknuts have been unscrewed they no

longer function correctly (the locking device is destroyed), and must be replaced.

■For technical reasons, we reserve the right to carry out preliminary assembly work (e.g.

addition of tubing plugs).
