6. Troubleshooting
Refer to this section for solutions to common issues.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Canopy does not stay in position or tilts down. | Adjustment knobs/levers are not tightened sufficiently. Strong winds. | Ensure all canopy adjustment fasteners are firmly tightened after positioning. Consider lowering the canopy or removing it during high winds. |
| Seat cushions slide out of place. | Smooth cushion material. Lack of securing mechanism. | Consider placing non-slip mats under the cushions. Alternatively, attach hook-and-loop fasteners (Velcro) to the underside of cushions and the seat frame (not included). |
| Water pools on the seat after rain. | This model does not feature built-in drainage for the seat base. | Remove cushions after rain and manually tilt the swing to drain any accumulated water from the seat base. Allow cushions to dry thoroughly before re-use. |
| Swing feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose fasteners. Uneven ground. | Check and re-tighten all assembly bolts and nuts. Ensure the swing is placed on a completely level surface. |
