String Your Zip Line

Use the rope to string your zip line.

It is important that one end or your zip line is higher than the other end, so that gravity can do its job, aiding in the zip line experience.

It is also important that the rope be tied tight so there is no slack in the rope between the two ends.

Attach Zip Line Apparatus to the Rope

Put the zip line apparatus on the rope, ensure that the rope rides on the small wheel between the two big wheels.

Add the Handle

Once the apparatus is on the zip line put the handle through and secure it with the provided black stoppers. This allows your stuffed animal to have something to hang from.

Attach Your Stuffed Animal

Watch Your Animal Sour!
