ANCHORING THE SLACKLINE:
The Gibbon Slackline must only be fixed to trees that have a minimum circumference of 40 inches (1m) or 12
inches (30cm) diameter and a maximum circumference of 70 inches (1.8m). DO NOT ATTACH THE SLACK-
LINE TO ANY TREE THAT CANNOT WITHSTAND A MINIMUM FORCE OF 2200 POUNDS (10 kN/1000kg).
Use a carpet or soft rubber mat to protect trees from any unnecessary damage due to the slackline.

ANCHORING THE BAND:
Locate a suitable and safe location with two
trees as described in subsection 3.1 above with
no hazards, obstacles, projections, or other
dangers nearby. Wrap the band flat around the
tree trunk at a height of approximately 18 inch-
es (50cm). Thread the band through the strap
to form a noose around the trunk of the tree.
In order to horizontally align the band, fold the
band in a U shape at the place where it threads
through the loop end of the strap as shown in
the photo.
ANCHORING THE RATCHET:
As with the band, locate a suitable and safe
location with two trees as described in sub-
section 3.1 (Image 3) above with no hazards,
obstacles, projections, or other dangers near-
by. Wrap the band attached to the ratchet flat
around the other tree trunk at a height of ap-
proximately 18 inches (50cm) (Image 3).
Thread the ratchet through the strap to form
a noose around the tree trunk.
In order to horizontally align the band, fold the
band in a U shape at the place where it threads
through the loop end of the strap as shown in
Image 3.
To reduce the risk of serious injury and/or
death, install the ratchet with the lever facing
down toward the ground as shown in Image 4.
Release the ratchet (pull on the small lever
inside the ratchet marked "A" in Image 5) and
open the main lever ("B" in Image 5).
Thread the band through the slot in the axle
("C" in Image 6).
