INSTAATION INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:

Fold rope in half by aligning ends. Drape rope evenly over the branch.

Tip : To install without a tall ladder, connect string or twine to a beanbag or

a weighted sock. Make sure it’s long enough to make it over the branch and

back to the ground, and throw the weighted object over the branch. Then, tie

the string to the center of the rope loop, and pull it up over the branch.

Step 2:

Pull the ends of the rope through the loop so it wraps tightly around the branch.

Repeat steps 1-2 with the other rope. Both ropes should be placed 24-36 inches

apart when done.

Step 3 :

Lace the rope

through the handles.

Step 4:

Lace rope through holes on your Swurfer board. Tie a double overhand knot

beneath the board, and level your Swurfer by adjusting the four knots.

Trim rope and melt ends with lighter to prevent fraying.

Note: Rope must be taped prior to cutting,

otherwise it will fray before you melt it.

The Swurfer is a unique swinging device designed for outdoor recreational use, offering a dynamic and engaging experience. It consists of a durable plastic board, adjustable grip handles, and looped nylon ropes, allowing it to be easily hung from tree branches or swingsets. The primary function of the Swurfer is to provide a swinging platform that allows users to stand, sit, or kneel while swinging, offering a more active and versatile experience compared to traditional swings.

Function Description:

The Swurfer operates by suspending a board from an overhead support, typically a sturdy tree branch, using two sets of ropes and handles. Users stand or sit on the board and use their body weight and momentum to swing. The design emphasizes core engagement and balance, making it a fun way to exercise and enjoy the outdoors. The adjustable handles allow users to customize their grip position for comfort and control, accommodating different heights and swinging styles.

Important Technical Specifications:

Board Material: Durable plastic, designed to withstand outdoor elements and regular use.
Rope Material: Looped nylon rope, chosen for its strength and weather resistance.
Handle Type: Adjustable grip handles, providing flexibility for users of various sizes and preferences.
Installation Spacing: Ropes should be placed 24-36 inches apart on the branch for optimal stability and performance.
Recommended Clearance:
- Maximum Performance: Requires 10 feet of clearance from the trunk/objects and 6 feet from the ground.
- Good Performance: Requires 10 feet of clearance from the trunk/objects and 6 feet from the ground.
- Minimum Clearance: Requires 6 feet of clearance from the trunk/objects and 6 feet from the ground.
Swingset Compatibility: Can be hung from swingsets; however, a "Swingset bracket" is required to swing perpendicular to the swingset structure.

Usage Features:

Installation:
1. Rope Placement: Fold each rope in half, align the ends, and drape it evenly over the chosen branch. A tip for installation without a tall ladder involves using a weighted object (like a beanbag or weighted sock) with a string to pull the rope over the branch.
2. Securing Ropes: Pull the ends of each rope through its loop to secure it tightly around the branch. Repeat for both ropes, ensuring they are positioned 24-36 inches apart.
3. Handle Lacing: Lace the rope through the handles. The manual illustrates the correct and incorrect ways to do this.
4. Board Lacing and Knotting: Lace the rope through the holes on the Swurfer board. Tie a double overhand knot beneath the board for each rope. Level the Swurfer by adjusting the four knots.
5. Finishing Ropes: Trim the rope ends and melt them with a lighter to prevent fraying. It's recommended to tape the rope prior to cutting to prevent fraying before melting.
Operating Instructions:
1. Handle Adjustment: Adjust the handles so they are midway between the user's waist and armpit.
2. Foot Position: Position feet shoulder-width apart on the Swurfer board.
3. Grip and Stance: Always hold the handles with a firm grip and keep knees bent for stability and control.
4. Dismounting: To get off, hold the handles while sliding down to a seated position.
Safety Warning: Swinging with the Swurfer involves inherent risk of serious injury or death. Users assume all risk and responsibility. It is crucial to be aware of surroundings and swing within limits. The manual explicitly states that the user assumes responsibility for installation and assembly.

Maintenance Features:

Pre-Use Check: Before each use, users must check the ropes, handles, and board for any signs of wear.
Replacement: If any components show signs of wear, they should be replaced immediately.
Regular Inspection: Regularly check the tree branch (or swingset structure) for splitting, fraying, missing bark, or other damage. Any damage should be repaired right away.
Tree Health: A properly installed swing should not cause any damage or grooves in the tree.
Rope Replacement: It is recommended to replace the ropes every couple of years, regardless of visible wear, to ensure continued safety and performance.
