 Installation
Instructions: |
| |
Your swing is relatively simple
to install. You will need: |
| |
|
1. Tape measure
2. Additional strong ceiling rope
3. A ladder or chair
4. You may need ceiling hooks if no beam or place to tie a rope exists. (An 8mm
thick or ¼” thick steel hook of 8cm or 3” long wood screw
tip). Hooks are available at local building supply stores. |
| |
The rope included with your swing is for part of the adjustment
system. You will need additional strong rope to mount around
your home beam, 5-6 meters should be enough.
Firstly, select a safe spot where there is at least 60cm
(2 feet) of space in all directions. This is the minimal
amount (one meter or more space is ideal).
The beam must be sturdy and not termited by bugs. Test the
strength of the beam if necessary by putting 2 people in
the swing and testing.
Outside or under the porch or roof is an ideal location for
the Swing. In the living room or bedroom is good too. Places
where others can enjoy.
Place a rag over the beam where the rope drops over and down
to the floor. Over time the rope could become worn causing
failure without this cloth.

Tie a strong knot in the
rope when the looped end becomes level and measures 260cm
or 8 feet from the floor to rope loop. See figure 1.
Figure 2: Wrap knotted adjustment rope around loop as shown.
Figure 3: There are 4 adjustable positions you may clip the Swing handles. The
handles are best on the top knot where the lowest handle becomes a foot stirrup
for sky walking and skier exercises. You may enjoy experimenting yourself.
As for the Swing, the ideal heights are the middle and other 2 lower knotted
positions. The lowest position is nice for floor work, for example stretching
the lumbar area or doing inverted shoulder stands.)
Figure 4: The Swing saddle hanging free should be just above the crease of butt
level or 15cm or 4” below the crest of your hip. When inverting your head
should be free of the floor. Adjust knots either up or down to the correct height.
Try one test inversion to see that there is at least 10cm space between your
head and floor. |
