This document is an owner's manual for a Lifetime product, specifically identified as Model N° 2119. The manual provides comprehensive instructions for assembly, setup, storage, cleaning, care, and warranty information, emphasizing safety throughout.
Function Description
The Lifetime Model N° 2119 appears to be a portable picnic table with benches, designed for versatile use. Its primary function is to provide a stable surface and seating for outdoor activities, dining, or other gatherings. The design suggests it is foldable or collapsible for easy storage and transport. The inclusion of an "Umbrella Hole Plug" indicates it can accommodate an umbrella, offering shade for users. The product is intended for residential use, with a specific disclaimer against institutional or commercial use, which would void its warranty.
Usage Features
The manual highlights several key usage features and considerations:
- Assembly: The assembly process requires two capable adults, emphasizing the need for proper and complete assembly to ensure safety and reduce the risk of injury. Users are instructed to check all parts against a provided list and hardware identifier before beginning. The assembly steps are clearly delineated with "SEC" (section) numbers and visual aids. Tools required for assembly include a Phillips screwdriver and safety glasses.
- Setup: Once assembled, the table's legs are designed to unfold and lock into place. The tabletop is then lifted upward until push-buttons lock it securely. The manual includes a "CAUTION" regarding seating arrangements, recommending that if two or more people are sitting at the table simultaneously, they should sit across from each other to prevent possible tipping.
- Leg Latches: The product incorporates "Leg Latches" (BAG) that play a dual role. During assembly, they are slid over the Brace Cross Tube of the Brace Assembly (BAF) and inserted into the J-Channel. For setup, these latches are used to secure the legs in place. When the table is set up, users are instructed to slide the latches towards the ends of the table to prevent them from dangling, indicating a thoughtful design for user convenience and safety.
- Umbrella Hole: The tabletop features a hole designed to accommodate an umbrella, providing an option for shade. If an umbrella is not used, an "Umbrella Hole Plug" (BBZ) is provided to cover the hole, maintaining a clean aesthetic and preventing debris from entering.
- Portability/Foldability: The instructions for "TABLE STORAGE" imply the table's ability to fold. Users are guided to turn the table over, ensure the legs are in the lowest position, and then fold them down. The Leg Latches are then used to secure the folded legs, making the table compact for storage.
- Storage: For storage, the table can be hung on a wall. The manual provides a "WARNING" regarding this, stating that two hooks capable of holding at least 100 pounds each are required and must be securely fastened into solid framework to prevent the table from falling. It also reiterates the need for two people to hang and take down the table to avoid injuries.
- Safety Warnings: Throughout the manual, prominent "CAUTION" and "WARNING" sections are used to alert users to potential hazards. These include warnings about ensuring push buttons and diagonal braces are in the locked position during use, the surface potentially becoming hot if left in the sun, and explicitly stating not to stand on the table or benches. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injury. It is also stressed that the table should only be set up and taken down by adults. The manual also points out "PINCH POINTS" to be aware of during handling.
Maintenance Features
The manual provides clear guidelines for cleaning and care to ensure the longevity and enjoyment of the Lifetime Model N° 2119:
- Cleaning: The polyethylene tabletop and benches are described as stain- and solvent-resistant. For cleaning, users are advised to use a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush. Abrasive cleaning materials are not recommended as they may scratch the plastic surface.
- Metal Frame Care: For scratches or rust spots on the metal frame, the manual suggests sanding the affected area lightly, applying a rust-preventative spray primer, and then spraying with a high-gloss spray enamel paint. This indicates that the metal components are susceptible to rust and scratches, and provides a method for their upkeep.
- Heat Protection: Users are warned to avoid placing a direct heat source on or near the table surface unless a heat barrier is used. This is crucial for protecting the polyethylene material from damage.
- Regular Checks: The "SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" section advises users to "Check all nuts and screws for tightness before and during the usage season." This emphasizes the importance of routine inspection to maintain structural integrity and safety.
- Warranty: The product comes with a "LIFETIME 2-YEAR LIMITED FACTORY WARRANTY" covering defects in material or workmanship from the date of original retail purchase. The warranty explicitly states that defects resulting from misuse, abuse, negligence, alteration, accident, vandalism, rusting, "acts of nature," or any other event beyond the manufacturer's control will void the warranty. It also clarifies that the warranty is nontransferable and covers repair or replacement of defective parts, with shipping charges being the purchaser's responsibility. Cosmetic damage from normal use is not covered. The manual strongly encourages product registration for quicker customer service and to receive important notifications.
