CAUTION: DO NOT JUMP UP AND DOWN ON THE HAMMOCK. DO NOT USE IT AS A PLAYGROUND SWING.
CHILDREN HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO USE HAMMOCKS AS A TRAMPOLINE OR TRY TO SWING OFF OF THE
HOOKS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NOT THE INTENDED USE OF YOUR HAMMOCK. IT ALSO WILL CAUSE
EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE HAMMOCK AND MOUNTING HARDWARE.
THE MAXIMUM SAFE WEIGHT LIMIT FOR THIS HAMMOCK IS 350 LBS.
PLEASE NOTE AND OBSERVE THIS LIMIT.
MAINTENANCE:
By observing the following suggestions, your hammock will provide many hours of relaxing pleasure:
• Store your hammock in a cool, dry place. Be certain that it is not wet or damp when rolled and stored or the rope may mildew
or rot. If he hammock does get wet, let it dry completely before storing.
• Although this hammock is intended for outdoor use, exposure to adverse weather conditions such as UV rays, rain or snow alter
the appearance and decrease the life span of the hammock. Therefore, please handle your hammock with care in order to
obtain maximum enjoyment.
• Do not hang or store your hammock in an area where wildlife may potentially have access. Avoid storing near chemicals and
pesticides which, if spilled, may effect the strength or integrity of the fibers used in this hammock.
• Handwash or use the GENTLE CYCLE on your washing machine. Using a mild detergent. Rinse well. Use the lowest dryer setting
for 8-10 minutes only or hang to dry. Allow it to dry completely before using or storing. Do not use any products with bleach or
strong chemicals.
INSTALLATION OF HAMMOCK:
STEP 1 ..First determine where you would like to hang the hammock. It may be hung between two
posts, on our specially designed hammock stands, on your porch, or just about anywhere you
prefer. Ideally, the space in which you plan to hang your hammock should be 18 inches greater
than the overall length of your hammock. ALWAYS TEST YOUR HAMMOCK CAREFULLY PRIOR TO
EACH USE TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT IT IS HUNG SECURELY AND IN SAFE CONDITION.
STEP 2 ..If you are installing the hammock where a wooden surface will hold an eye hook; such as
between trees, posts, or wall studs, observe the following:
a. ..MAKE CERTAIN THE WOODEN OBJECT IS AT LEAST SIX INCHES IN DIAMETER AND THAT THE
WOOD IS SUITABLE TO HOLD THE EYE HOOK. SOME WOODS ARE VERY SOFT, SUCH AS WIL-
LOW, PALM OR BEECH, AND MAY NOT HOLD THE HAMMOCK WHEN IN USE.
b. ..Drill 3/16” pilot hole 1” deep at each installation point approximately 5’ to 6’ above the
ground. The exact height will depend on the distance between the two points of installa-
tion and how high you wish to hang the hammock. (See Figure A - reverse).
c. ..Screw an eye hook in each of the pilot holes drilled. Use a screwdriver partially inserted in
the eye of the hook for leverage while screwing the hook in place. BE SURE TO SCREW THE
HOOK COMPLETELY INTO THE WOOD UNTIL THE EYE IS SNUG AGAINST ITS MOUNTING
LOCATION. WHERE THE HAMMOCK IS MOUNTED USING A WALL STUD, BE CERTAIN THAT
THE EYE HOOK IS DIRECTLY IN THE CENTER OF THE STUD AND IS SECURELY EMBEDDED. CAU-
TION: DO NOT CONTINUE TO TIGHTEN THE SCREW ONCE IT IS EMBEDDED.
Thank you for purchasing this Texsport hammock. Please read and understand each step of the set-up instructions. We hope you

e.
Una vez que haya utilizado su hamaca, podrá quedar más baja debido a que las sogas se estiran.
Esto es algo que debe esperarse. Para que la hamaca cuelgue a la altura originalmente seleccionada, sim-
plemente vuelva a atar la soga utilizando una distancia más corta hasta el gancho. Asegúrese de seguir
las precauciones relacionadas con cómo colgar y estirar la soga.
INSTALACIÓN DE LOS POSTES:
PASO 1 Si opta por colgar su hamaca utilizando un poste (o entre dos postes), por favor, observe lo sigu-
iente:
a. Materiales: Cada poste utilizado deberá tener como mínimo 15 cm x 15 cm x 2,75 m de alto si
son rectangulares o 15 cm de diámetro x 2,75 m de alto si son redondos. Utilice 72,6 kg de concreto pre-
mezclado para cada poste.
b. Cabe dos pozos de aproximadamente 25 cm de diámetro y 90 cm de profundidad. Deberán dis-
tanciarse por lo menos 46 cm más que el largo de la hamaca.
c. Coloque los postes en los pozos y asegúrese de que cada poste no sobresalga más de 1,80 m del
suelo.
d. Prepare el concreto conforme a las instrucciones de su envase. Vierta 72,6 kg de concreto mez-
clado en cada orificio hasta que el concreto llegue al nivel de la superficie del suelo. Asegúrese de com-
pactar el concreto alrededor de los postes y el pozo y elimine las burbujas de aire del concreto.
e. Mientras que el cemento todavía está húmedo, incline los postes un poquito hacia el lado con-
trario al que se va a colgar la hamaca. Si utiliza postes rectangulares, asegúrese de que el lado de 15 cm
de los postes miren hacia la hamaca. Deje que el concreto se endurezca durante por lo menos 24 horas.
Cuando haya completado la instalación del poste (o postes), monte la hamaca como se explica en los
pasos 2a a 2f.
