INSTALLATION and ASSEMBLY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please Note: Observing the following statements and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury.
Do not substitute parts! The parts provided have been safety tested to exceed the maximum
stresses expected to be encountered when using this product. If a part becomes damaged in any way
call 800-848-8688 for replacement information.
1. Be sure that the supporting trees or uprights are secure and will support at least 1250 pounds. If you are using
uprights other than trees or are considering installation on other than level ground please call
800-848-8688 for important safety information.
2. Be sure that the area between the trees or uprights is level and at a distance of not less than 6 feet from any structure or
obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, tree trunk, interfering branches, laundry line or electrical wire.
3. The maximum fall height for this product is determined by measuring from the handles to the ground at the highest
point of attachment to the tree or upright. This will vary depending upon the height of the user and the distance between
the trees or uprights (see assembly instructions).
4. Do not install ZL90 Zip Line over concrete, asphalt packed earth or any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can
result in a serious injury to the equipment user. (See enclosed CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET FOR
PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS).
5. Cable height: For ZL90 Zip Line to operate properly and safely it is necessary to follow the mounting instructions
carefully and observe the height recommendations. One end of the cable must be mounted at a lower level than the other
end and depending upon the height of the user and the distance between the trees or uprights, these levels can be easily
determined as follows:
5a. Measure the height of the user. If there is more than one user, and less than 6 inches in difference between their
heights, then for this purpose use the height of the tallest user. If heights of the users differ by more than 6 inches, it is
recommended that the height of the cable be adjusted to accommodate a user whose height is outside the range and that
user not be permitted to ride until adjustment is made. Add 2 1/2 feet to the height of the user determined and mark this
point on the upright intended to be the end point of the ride (i.e., if the user is 5’ 2” tall or 62 inches, then 62 plus 2 1/2 feet
or 30 inches equals 92 inches or 7’ 8”). SEE TABLE.
5b. Measure the distance between the uprights. For the full 90 feet add 4 feet (48”) to the height of the mark made on the end
point upright and mark this point on the upright intended to be the starting point of the ride (i.e., 92” + 48” = 140” or 11’
8”). For each 10 feet less distance between uprights reduce the add-on to the starting point by 6 inches (i.e. 70’ distance
equals 3’ or 36” of add on at starting point. SEE TABLE.
Please Note: Observing the following statements and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury.
WARNING! Do not add additional slope to the cable. This will not improve the ride and may create a danger to
the user!
