Usage Features
Assembly Process:
The assembly is divided into several steps (A through H) to ensure proper construction.
- Step A (Frame Assembly): Involves connecting the top cross beam, upright supports, lateral cross braces, and rear cross brace using bolts, washers, and plastic nuts. It is crucial not to tighten bolts and nuts until all components for a specific step are loosely fastened. The rear cross brace (Part #5) has a label arrow mark that should face upwards. Leg caps are inserted into the base feet.
- Step B (Seat Assembly): This step focuses on assembling the seat. The seat arms (Parts #6 and #7) are inserted into the seat supports (Parts #8 and #9) and secured with plastic joint covers, bolts, washers, and plastic nuts. A key detail is ensuring the "back" labels on the left seat arm and seat rear support align, and the clip holders on the seat rear support are positioned inside the swing with the open side facing upwards. The seat assembly (Part #10) is then attached to the seat arms using bolts, washers, plastic washers, and jam nuts. The support brace on the back of the seat assembly must be fully inserted into the clip holders. Finally, the swing arm tubes (Part #11) are attached to the seat arms, and suspension springs (Part #16) are hooked into the top of the swing arm tubes.
- Step C (Suspension): The opposite ends of the suspension springs (Part #16) are hooked into the holes on the top cross beam w/adjustable teeth (Part #1). A warning emphasizes ensuring the suspension springs go completely through the holes on both the top cross beam and swing arm tubes for safety.
- Step D (Canopy Frame Assembly): This involves sliding canopy/frame connectors (Part #28) into the side canopy braces (Part #13) and fastening them with screws (Part #22). The teeth on the connectors should face toward the inside of the frame. Front/rear canopy braces (Part #12) are inserted into the sleeves of the canopy (Part #32). The side canopy braces are then fastened to the front/rear canopy braces using bolts (Part #21). Finally, the canopy is secured to the side canopy braces with Velcro.
- Step E (Canopy Attachment): The canopy/frame connectors (Part #28) are fastened to the adjustable teeth on the top cross beam w/adjustable teeth (Part #1) using plastic screws (Part #29).
- Step F (Cushion Placement and Final Check): Cushions (Part #33) are placed onto the seat assembly (Part #10). A crucial step is to double-check and ensure all bolts have been completely tightened to assure stability.
- Step G (Seat-to-Bed Conversion): The swing features a safety lock mechanism that allows conversion of the seat assembly into a bed. When in the swinging (seat) position, safety locks on the seat rear support (Part #9) should be fully locked. To flatten the seat into a bed, the safety lock is lifted, the support brace is removed, and then re-inserted into the rear cross brace (Part #5) to secure the assembly in the bed position.
- Step H (Locking Mechanism): This step further illustrates the locking mechanism for converting the seat assembly into a bed.
