This document provides assembly instructions and a parts list for the Lakeland Mills Cedar Log Glider, model CFU139.

Function Description:

The Cedar Log Glider is an outdoor seating unit designed for relaxation. It features a gliding mechanism that allows the seat to move back and forth smoothly. The construction utilizes cedar logs, which are noted for their natural beauty, including inherent cracks or checks that are considered part of the log's aesthetic.

Important Technical Specifications:

The glider is constructed from various cedar log components, including:

• Preassembled Back: One unit.
• Preassembled Seat: One unit.
• Front Legs: One left (26" long) and one right (26" long).
• Back Legs: Two (26" long).
• Arms: Two (20" long).
• Rail: One (57" long).
• Braces: Six (9" long).
• Glider End Assemblies: Two units.

Hardware Components:

• Lag Screws: Eight 1/4" x 2-1/2" lag screws.
• Washers: Eight 1/4" washers.
• Flat Head Screws: Twenty-four 2" flat head screws.
• Glider Straps: Four (not shown full size in the hardware diagram).

Tools Required for Assembly:

• Rubber Mallet (or Block of Wood & Hammer)
• 7/16" Socket (or Wrench)
• #2 Phillips Screwdriver

Usage Features:

The glider is designed for comfortable outdoor seating with a smooth gliding motion. The assembly process emphasizes proper alignment and secure fastening of all components to ensure safe operation. Users are advised to ensure the unit is fully assembled and setting on a level surface before completely tightening all screws. The design incorporates doweled ends for secure log connections, which should be driven into holes as far as possible using a rubber mallet or a block of wood and hammer.

Assembly Steps:

1. Seat and Back Assembly: Lay the assembled seat on the floor. Insert the dowel ends of the uprights from the assembled back into the holes on the back seat rail, adjusting as needed. To prevent splitting the seat rail, lay the back on the floor and drive the seat onto the dowelled ends by hitting the bottom of the seat assembly.
2. Leg and Arm Assembly: Create right and left leg sets by inserting the dowel end of a back leg into the angled hole of a front leg, ensuring drilled holes face the same direction (as shown in Figure 2). Attach arms to the leg sets by inserting the dowel end of the front legs into the arm holes, driving the arm onto the leg assembly as far as possible.
3. Connecting Seat/Back to Legs: Lay the back and seat assembly on its side. Insert the dowel ends of the seat rail into the holes on the leg sets, driving the legs on as far as possible. Repeat for the other side. Screw a brace onto the seat rail and to the leg, repeating for the other side (as illustrated in Figure 3).
4. Glider Rail and Strap Attachment: Insert the glider rail into the glider ends, ensuring the rail is off-centered to the back of the glider base. Screw on braces using 2" flat head screws, placing them on the top and front of each end of the glider rail. Attach all four glider straps to the glider base using the 1/4" x 2-1/2" lag screws into pre-drilled holes (as shown in Figure 4).
5. Securing Glider Base Joints: Turn the glider base on its side. Secure the dowel joint in place with a flat head screw perpendicular to the doweled end (as shown in Figure 5). Repeat for the other end of the glider base.
6. Final Arm and Leg Fastening: Set the chair in an upright position on a level surface. When the legs are properly positioned, bring the arm against the upright. Tighten the preinstalled lag screws into the pilot hole in the arm using a wrench or socket. Secure doweled joints in place with screws perpendicular to the doweled ends (as shown in Figure 6). Repeat for the other side.
7. Attaching Seat to Glider Base: Set the assembled seat into the glider base and attach the bottom of the glider strap to the legs of the unit with lag screws in pilot holes (as shown in Figure 7).
8. Final Tightening: Firmly tighten all lag screws to secure the unit.

Maintenance Features:

• Pre-assembly Check: Users are instructed to check contents before assembly for any missing or damaged items. If issues arise, contact customer service at 1-800-427-5136 instead of returning the unit to the store.
• Joint Tightness: All joints should be checked for tightness before and during each usage season to ensure safety and stability.
• Assembly Accuracy: If hardware is left over after assembly, it indicates incorrect assembly, and the unit may not be safe to use. Customer service should be contacted for assistance.
• Natural Characteristics: Cracks or checks in the cedar logs are considered part of the natural beauty of the material and should not be regarded as defects.
