2. FURTHER WARNINGS:
ATTENTION! Do not use any other parts or materials to install the slackline or in connection with the use of
the slackline other than the parts and materials provided by Gibbon Slacklines.
USE OF THE RATCHET IS DANGEROUS AND MAY LEAD TO INJURY AND/OR DEATH. THE RATCHET
MUST NEVER BE USED BY MINORS AND EXTREME CARE AND CAUTION MUST BE TAKEN WHEN USED
BY ADULTS. THE SLACKLINE STRAP MUST NOT EXCEED TWO AND A HALF ROTATIONS AROUND THE
AXLE OF THE RATCHET. (See subsection 3.4 below.)
The tension on the lever of the ratchet must not exceed 85 pounds (approx. 378N/38.5kg) to prevent sei-
zure and/or failure of the slackline system resulting in serious injury and/or death. NEVER USE YOUR
LEGS OR ANY DEVICE OR BODY PART OTHER THAN YOUR HANDS TO OPERATE THE RATCHET.
This slackline must not be attached or assembled between vehicles (e.g., cars or trucks) for various rea-
sons, including because the tension can easily exceed the safety limit of 85 pounds (approx. 378N/38.5kg).
This slackline must not be assembled or used at any height above 18 inches (50 cm).
Slacklining is a beautiful sport, but its dangers, including serious injury and/or death, are significant and
must never be underestimated!

A) The ratchet with looped ratchet band
A* Optionally - short retchet band for retrofitting -
needed: 2 spanners in size 19
B) The webbing: 2" (5cm) wide with looped end
C) 2 x a-frames with three height options
D) 2 x ground screws for anchoring the system
3.1 SETTING UP THE INDEPENDENCE KIT 70
Start by looking for a suitable place for turning the ground screws into the ground. Take into account that
the anchor needs always at least twice the distance to the a-frame in relation to the desired setup height.
You will find a setup video in the internet https://vimeo.com/92235778
Example A: 10m (32ft) setup at 70cm (2.3ft) height needs an additional 2x 140cm (2x 5ft) added for defining
the distance of the ground screws.
=> Total distance from anchor to anchor: 12,8m (42ft) with the long ratchet strap!
It is also possible to set up the system at shorter distances and lower setup heights.
Example B: 4m (12ft) distance at 30cm (1ft) setup height: 4m (2x60cm) = minimum distance between anchor
points: at least 5,2m (16ft). It is also possible to readjust the setup length by simply shortening the distnace
between the a-frames allowing you to adjust the distance while the system is installed.
