• Placement: Place the swing on a flat, stable surface.

3. Parts List

All necessary parts and tools for assembly are included and clearly marked. Please verify all components are present before beginning assembly.

Note: Some reviews indicate that the parts list in the provided booklet may have minor discrepancies (e.g., number of 'E' items, unlisted 'K' spacers). Please refer to the assembly steps for clarification if needed.

4. Setup and Assembly

Assembly is required for this product. It is recommended to have at least two people for easier and faster assembly.

1. Step 1: Frame Assembly
   • Begin by assembling the main frame components. Keep all four top bolts loose initially; do not tighten them or install nut caps yet.
   • You may tighten the four bolts holding the back support bar (F) and attach the M6 nut caps (Z) at this stage.
   • When attaching the side panels (D) to the frame, ensure the frame is wide enough. It may be easier to install one top bolt on a side panel, then the bottom bolt on the opposite side, before inserting all four bolts. Ensure all four bolts are in place before tightening any.
   • Once all bolts are in place for the main frame, tighten them securely and install the four M8 caps (Z) to the bolts on the top of the frame.
2. Step 2: Seat and Backrest Assembly
   • The flat part of the back frame should face the seat.
   • Utilize the eight spacers (K) on the J and J1 side arm supports, placing them between the side arms and the back/seat.
   • Do not attach the swing to the main frame yet. This will make canopy installation easier.
3. Step 3: Canopy Installation
   • Attaching the canopy can be tight and may require some force.
   • It is recommended to attach one side of the canopy first. Then, upend the entire swing frame with the attached side at the top.
   • Step down on the canopy frame (now on the ground) to hold it, and lift the main frame to slide it into position on the plastic gears.
   • Return the frame to an upright position, then install and tighten the two large knobs, ensuring the canopy angle is matched on both sides.
4. Step 4: Attaching the Swing Seat
   • Take the swing supports (E and E1). Ensure the shorter supports are at the front and the longer ones are at the back.
   • Attach the swing supports to the bench seat on the front and back hooks.
   • Attach the spring to the other end of the swing supports.
   • Lift the side of the swing by the spring and attach the spring to the main frame. Repeat for the other side.

Tools: The provided wrenches can be slow. A right-angle ratchet drive with hexagonal bits can significantly speed up the tightening process.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Adjustable Tilt Canopy

The canopy can be rotated and adjusted to provide optimal shade coverage throughout the day. Simply loosen the knobs on the side of the canopy frame, adjust to the desired angle, and re-tighten the knobs to secure it.

5.2. Foldable Multifunctional Side Tables

The swing includes two foldable side tables, one on each side. These tables can be folded up for use as cup holders or to hold small items like cell phones, and folded down when not needed. Ensure the support bars underneath are properly clipped to the main frame for stability when in use.

5.3. Solar Lights

The swing comes with extra solar lights to enhance the patio ambiance. The solar panel requires approximately 8 hours to charge once batteries are installed. Locate the 'on/off' switch on the back of the solar box to activate the lights. The lights offer two blinking patterns.

5.4. Converting to Lying Position

The swing seat can be adjusted to a lying position for extended relaxation. This involves releasing latches that hold the seat in an upright position and allowing it to recline. Ensure the support mechanisms are securely engaged in the lying position.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Fabric Care

The cushions and canopy are made from breathable, UV resistant, water-repellent, and fade-resistant yarn-dyed polyester fabric. They are easy to clean and maintain. The cushions feature zippers, allowing you to remove the inner material and wash the outer fabric.

6.2. Frame Care

The frame is constructed from durable metal with a powder-coated finish steel, designed for weather resistance. To prolong its lifespan, regularly wipe down the frame to remove dirt and debris. While designed for outdoor use, consider using an overall cover during harsh winter weather or prolonged rain to protect it.

6.3. Spring Maintenance

The swing utilizes strong compound springs for a smooth experience. Periodically inspect the springs for any signs of wear or damage. Replacement coils may be available if needed.

7. Troubleshooting

• Assembly Difficulties: If you encounter issues during assembly, double-check the instructions and ensure all parts are oriented correctly. Some users have noted that keeping bolts loose until all components are aligned can help.
• Swing Unattaching in Wind: In very windy conditions, the swing may unattach. Ensure the side bars are securely attached to the coils after any strong winds. Consider relocating the swing or securing it to the ground in areas prone to high winds.
• Rust Formation: While the frame is powder-coated for weather resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh elements over many years may lead to minor rust. Regular cleaning and covering the swing can help mitigate this.
• Solar Lights Not Working: Ensure the solar panel has received adequate sunlight (approx. 8 hours for a full charge) and that the 'on/off' switch on the solar box is in the 'on' position.
