Assembly instructions. Each handle has a swivel joint on the end of it. This is the part where the rope attaches to the handles. 1) Hold one of the handles in one hand and push the rope through the swivel joint side ways. You will notice there are two holes next to each other and it does not matter which one of these you use first. 2) Double back the rope and push it through the hole in the swivel joint next to the one you pushed the rope through first. 3) Pull the rope tight so that it will not slip out of the joint. Now do the same with the other handle. 4)Your skipping rope is now ready for use. Note: This is where you adjust the rope to the right length for the person who is using it by setting the desired length through the swivel joints. Installing the batteries.
