CHOOSING THE SLACKLINE COURSE

30cm diameter) is recommended or pole or post that can handle at least 11,5KN (1150 KG) on both
ends.
Caution: The SLACKLINE should be installed on an even, soft ground (like grass or sand), clear of ALL
obstacles: bushes, rocks, or anything else that could cause injury. Never install the SLACKLINE above
any hard surface or above water.
*If you are unsure about the health of your selected tress, consult with an arborist.
FIRST TIME USER'S "THREE WORDS":
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
SHORT- Use a short (and more stable) distance between posts/trees.
LOW- Set Slackline just above the height of the knee (standing on the ground) of the shortest
person using the line. This way it's easy to step onto the line and begin. The slackline must
not be installed higher than 50cm from the ground.
TIGHT- By having the line tension a little tighter, you gain more stability. Later, you can adjust
tension to fit your perfect LT-Line Tension.

cannot ratchet anymore approximately 400N of force.
Note: The ratchet should be hidden underneath the line and be
covered with the ratchet protector.
