2. Safety Information
To ensure safe use of your Vipack Rocking Chair, please adhere to the following safety guidelines:
- Weight Limit: Do not exceed the recommended maximum weight capacity of 100 kg (220 lbs). Exceeding this limit can compromise the chair's stability and lead to tipping or damage.
- Stability: Ensure the chair is placed on a flat, stable, and level surface before use. Uneven surfaces can cause the chair to rock unpredictably or tip over.
- Tipping Hazard: Avoid excessive leaning or rocking, especially to the sides, as this can cause the chair to tip. Always maintain a balanced posture while seated.
- Children: Keep children away from the rocking mechanism to prevent pinching or injury. This chair is designed for adult use.
- Assembly: Ensure all components are correctly assembled and tightened according to the instructions before use. Periodically check all fasteners to ensure they remain secure.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the chair for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts. Discontinue use if any damage is found and contact support for assistance.

4. Setup and Assembly
Assembly of the Vipack Rocking Chair is required. Please follow the included assembly instructions carefully. It is recommended to have two people for assembly to ensure stability and ease of handling.
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.

5. Operating Instructions
The Vipack Solid Wood Rocking Chair is designed for comfortable and gentle rocking motion. To operate:
- Seating: Sit centrally and evenly on the chair. Avoid sitting on the edge or armrests.
- Rocking Motion: Gently push off with your feet to initiate a smooth rocking motion. Control the speed and range of motion with your body weight and foot pressure.
- Stopping: To stop rocking, place your feet flat on the floor and allow the chair to come to a natural rest.
Ensure the area around the chair is clear of obstructions to prevent accidents during rocking.
6. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Vipack Rocking Chair:
- Cleaning: Clean the chair with a dry, soft cloth. For spills or stains, wipe them quickly with a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the wood finish.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the chair to prevent buildup.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and joints to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Environment: Keep the chair in a stable indoor environment. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or high humidity, which can cause the wood to warp, crack, or fade.
- Moving: When moving the chair, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the legs and rockers.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chair feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose fasteners; uneven floor surface. | Check and tighten all assembly screws and bolts. Ensure the chair is on a flat, level surface. |
| Squeaking noise during rocking. | Friction between wood components; loose joints. | Inspect joints for tightness. A small amount of silicone spray or wax on contact points (not visible surfaces) might help, but consult manufacturer if persistent. |
| Difficulty assembling. | Incorrect part orientation; missing hardware. | Refer to the detailed assembly instructions. Ensure parts are oriented correctly. Contact support if parts are missing or damaged. |
