Hanging the Swing:

Step 1. Separate the two different lengths of chain and the "S" shaped hooks.

other end of this "S" hook into porch header hardware (not included).
Step 3. Count forty links from the opposite end of the long chain that is now hanging from the porch header
and insert another "S" hook into the 40th link.
Step 4. Attach one end of the short chain "H" to the remaining end of the "S" hook from the last step.
Step 5. Insert an "S" hook into the remaining end of the short chain.
Step 6. Counting nine links from the bottom of the long chain hanging from the porch header, insert "S" hook
into 9th link.
Step 7. Attach the opposite end of the "S" hook from last step into the eye bolt at the front/bottom of the swing
assembly.
Step 8. Insert the remaining end of the middle "S" hook (Step 5 Above) into the eye bolt at the swing back/top of
the swing assembly.
Step 9. Repeat steps 2 through 8 to hand the other side of the swing
*Adjust the height and balance of the swing by moving the "S" hooks one link at a time until satisfied
