Operating Instructions

This product functions as both a traditional porch swing and can be converted into a flat hammock-style bed.

• Using as a Swing: Ensure the backrest is in the upright position. Sit gently and swing with controlled movements.
• Converting to Hammock: To convert the swing into a flat hammock, carefully recline the backrest until it lies flat, aligning with the seat. Specific mechanisms for this conversion are detailed in your assembly guide.
• Adjusting the Canopy: The canopy top is adjustable to provide optimal shade coverage. Loosen the adjustment knobs or levers on the canopy frame, position the canopy to your desired angle, and then securely tighten the knobs/levers.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your swing.

• Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the powder-coated steel frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent rust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Cleaning Cushions: The polyester upholstery is easy to maintain. Spot clean with a mild soap and water solution. Allow to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
• Weather Protection: Bring cushions indoors during rain or extended periods of non-use to prevent fading and water damage. The canopy should be adjusted to prevent water pooling during rain.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all bolts and nuts to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to these common solutions or contact customer support.

• Swing is unstable: Ensure the swing is placed on a completely flat and level surface. Check that all assembly bolts are securely tightened.
• Canopy collects water: Adjust the canopy angle to allow water to run off. Ensure the canopy fabric is taut and properly secured to its frame.
• Difficulty converting to hammock: Review the specific conversion steps in your assembly manual. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the backrest from reclining fully.
• Squeaking during use: Apply a silicone-based lubricant to moving parts or suspension points if squeaking occurs.
