Be Safe! Always Follow These Rules

Essential safety guidelines for setting up and using the zipline.

Choosing the Zipline Course

Tree Selection Criteria

Select healthy trees with at least 38 inches circumference or 12 inches diameter, 6 feet from ground.

Tree Health Assessment

Avoid trees with decay, cracks, or damage. Consult an arborist if unsure of tree health.

Cable Length Requirement

Ensure cable reaches both trees with at least 5 feet of extra length at the finish point.

Course Obstacles and Terrain

Ensure course is free of obstacles and not on steep hills or over water bodies.

Start Point Launching Method

Launch riders from the lowest point, tow them up to the start, then release.

Using a Platform

If using a platform, ensure it is stable and strong, and on a level flat surface.

Rider Seat Caution

Using zipline without a seat increases risk of rider losing grip. Use caution with height.

Zipline Course Setup

Setup Goal: Acceleration and Deceleration

Aim for rider acceleration, then deceleration in the last third, finishing near a stop.

Warning: Speed Hazard

Avoid steep courses or high tension to prevent dangerous speeds and injury.

Flat/Level Course Height Guidelines

Guidelines for start and end point attachment heights for flat courses based on length.

Sloping Course Adjustment

Adjust attachment heights for sloping courses by subtracting ground level drop from start point height.

Attaching Your Zipline

Sling Cable Installation

Loop the sling cable around the start point tree, ensuring protective tubing is used.

Turnbuckle and Main Cable Attachment

Attach turnbuckle to sling cable, then attach main cable to the other end of the turnbuckle.

Course Cable Routing

Unwind course cable, ensuring no twists, and thread it through the trolley.

U-Clamp Installation

Install U-clamps to secure the cable at the finish point, forming a 'tear drop' shape.

Warning: Choking Hazard

Product contains small parts. Keep away from children under 3 years of age.

Correct Cable Wrap

Use a 'tear drop' shaped wrap with U-clamps, ensuring proper spacing and orientation.

Tightening Your Zipline

Turnbuckle Adjustment

Tighten the turnbuckle to make the line nearly level or straight, but do not overtighten.

Nail Removal

Remove the small nails used during installation after tightening the zipline.

Mandatory Testing Your Zipline Installation

Warning: Adult Stress Test Required

Test product with 250 lbs (113 kg) at 5 feet from each end of the cable.

Warning: Adult Speed Test Required

Test speed with 250 lbs (113 kg) weight hung from the trolley.

Load Stress Test Procedure

Test by suspending or lifting 250 lbs (113 kg) from the cable to check stability.

Course Speed Test Procedure

Test trolley speed with 250 lbs weight; it should slow and stop before the first U-clamp.

Final Tuning

Cable Stretch Adjustment

Retighten the zipline with the turnbuckle after the speed test due to cable stretch.

Hardware Tightness Check

Ensure all nuts, bolts, clamps, turnbuckle, and trolley are tight.

Area Clearing and Cable Management

Clear the area of debris and manage excess cable to prevent entanglement.

Seat and Trolley Grip Check

Verify seat knot security and that trolley grips are not loose or twisted.

Backup Braking System

Bungee Brake Kit is an optional backup system. Do not use ground stakes for securing.

Rider Instructions

One Rider at a Time

Ensure only one rider uses the zipline at any given time.

Safe Launching Procedure

Launch riders from the lowest point, tow them up to the start, then release.

Trolley Handle Grip

Hold trolley handles tightly while the zipline is in motion.

Seat Mounting and Riding Position

Mount seat between legs, grab handles, and remain seated; head below trolley.

Dismounting Procedure

Wait until completely stopped, grab rope between trolley and seat, then dismount.

Seat Height Adjustment

Adjust seat height using the figure-8 adjuster so rider's head is below trolley.

Warning: Dangerous Speed

Do not let bystanders push riders. Riders need clean, dry hands.

Helmet Caution

Instruct children to remove bike or sports helmets before using the zipline.

Inappropriate Items and Clothing
