3. Setup & Assembly

The Outsunny rocking bench is designed for straightforward assembly. It is recommended to have two people for easier installation, though it can be managed by one. Tools required for assembly are typically included, but personal tools may offer better leverage and ease of use.

3.1 Unpacking

• Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
• Lay out all parts on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
• Verify that all parts listed in the parts list (refer to your product's included manual) are present.

3.2 Assembly Steps

1. Begin by attaching the main frame components. Ensure all screw holes align properly before inserting fasteners.
2. Securely fasten all bolts and screws. Do not overtighten initially; tighten fully once all components are loosely assembled.
3. Attach the seat and backrest sections to the frame.
4. Install the rocking mechanism components. For smooth rocking, avoid overtightening the screws that connect the rocking arms. They should be secure but allow for free movement.
5. Once fully assembled, double-check all connections to ensure they are tight and secure.

5.3 Storage

During prolonged periods of non-use or severe weather conditions, it is recommended to cover the bench or store it indoors to further protect it and extend its lifespan.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your rocking bench.

• Issue: Difficulty during assembly (e.g., screw holes not aligning).

  Solution: Ensure all components are correctly oriented. Loosely assemble all parts before fully tightening any screws. Sometimes, a slight adjustment or gentle pressure can help align holes. Do not force screws, as this can strip threads.

• Issue: Rocking motion is stiff or non-existent.

  Solution: Check the screws connecting the rocking arms. If they are overtightened, they can restrict movement. Loosen them slightly to allow for a smoother glide, ensuring they are still secure enough to prevent wobbling.
• Issue: Bench feels unstable or wobbly.

  Solution: Verify that all bolts and screws are fully tightened. Ensure the bench is placed on a flat, level surface. Uneven ground can cause instability.

• Issue: Damage to rattan or frame.

  Solution: For minor damage, repair kits may be available. For significant damage, contact the retailer or manufacturer for replacement parts or advice. Do not use a damaged bench.
