IMPORTANT! BE AWARE THAT DEPENDING ON THE GROUND AND SOIL THE GROUND SCREW
WILL MOVE TILL IT LOCKS INTO POSITION. SO DETENSIONING AND RETENSIONING AFTER FIRST
TENSIONING MIGHT BE NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THE DESIRED SETUP. STORE THE PARTS (EX-
CEPT GROUND SCREWS) IN A DRY ENVIRONMENT AFTER USE TO AVOID NATURAL WEAR.

IMPORTANT! The slackline must not exceed
two and a half rotations around the axle of the
ratchet. The tension on the lever of the ratch-
et must NEVER exceed 85 pounds (approx
378N/38.5kg) to prevent seizure and/or failure
of the system that may result in serious injury
and/or death.
As soon as the band reaches the desired ten-
sion, check the ratchet to ensure that the bolt
("G" in Image 10a & 10b) rests neatly in the cog-
ging ("H" in Image 10a & 10b) and bring the lever
back up to a horizontal position parallel to the
band ("I" in Image 10b).
DO NOT USE THE SLACKLINE IF THE RATCH-
ET IS NOT FULLY SECURED AND LOCKED
(UNLOCKED: Image 10a; LOCKED: Image 10b)!
Tip: The closed lever ("I" in Image 10b) is a good
indicator that the bolt rests in the cogging and
that the ratchet is secured and locked.
You may adjust the tension of the band accord-
ing to your personal preference, so long as the
tension does not exceed 85 pounds
(378N/38.5 kg).
Finalise the setup by lifting the a-frames to
around 87° with the angle facing away from the
middle (Image 11).
Tip: put your foot down on the bottom of the a
frame to avoid the a frame from shifting while
lifting into position.
Repeat the same procedure with the other a-
frame.
