Thank you for choosing the VINGLI Upgraded Patio Wooden Porch Swing. This manual provides essential information for the safe assembly, operation, and maintenance of your new porch swing. Please read these instructions carefully before use and retain them for future reference.

2. Safety Information

WARNING: Maximum weight capacity 880 lbs. Securely assemble the swing according to the instructions. Ensure chains are loop-locked for safety. Do not use without proper assembly. Keep away from children.

• Always ensure all bolts and fasteners are securely tightened before each use.
• Do not stand on the swing.
• Avoid excessive swinging that could cause instability.
• Regularly inspect chains and wooden components for wear or damage. Replace any damaged parts immediately.

3. Package Contents

Please verify that all components are present before beginning assembly:

• Pre-assembled Seat Section
• Pre-assembled Backrest Section
• Armrests (2)
• Hanging Chains (2 sets)
• Hardware Pack (bolts, nuts, washers, S-hooks/carabiners)

Note: Mounting brackets for overhead installation are NOT included and must be purchased separately to hang the swing securely.

4. Setup and Assembly

4.1 Before You Begin

• Clear a spacious area for assembly.
• It is recommended that two people assemble the swing for ease and safety.
• Gather necessary tools (e.g., wrench, screwdriver).

4.2 Assembly Steps

1. Attach the armrests to the seat section. Ensure the correct orientation for the armrests (one side may be straight, the other slanted).
2. Connect the backrest section to the assembled seat and armrests.
3. Important Tip: When assembling, loosely fit all screws and nuts into their respective holes before fully tightening any of them. This allows for proper alignment and prevents difficulties in securing all parts. Once all components are in place, then proceed to tighten all hardware securely.
4. Attach the hanging chains to the designated points on the swing. Ensure the loop-locked connections are secure for enhanced safety.
5. Install appropriate mounting brackets (not included) into a sturdy overhead structure (e.g., porch beam, swing stand).

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your VINGLI porch swing, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: The swing features a well-coated surface, making it easy to clean. Wipe down the wooden surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
• Weather Protection: Constructed from high-quality cedarwood with a sun-resistant and waterproof PU finish, the swing is designed for outdoor use. However, covering the swing during extreme weather conditions or prolonged periods of non-use can further extend its lifespan.
• Hardware Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and chain connections for tightness. Tighten any loose hardware to maintain stability and safety.

7. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty with Assembly/Hole Alignment: If you encounter issues with holes not aligning, ensure no bolts have been fully tightened prematurely. Loosen all hardware, adjust components for proper alignment, and then tighten everything securely.
• Creaking Noises: Over time, wood components may settle, or hardware may loosen, leading to creaking. Check all bolts and connections for tightness. Applying a silicone-based lubricant to metal-on-metal contact points (e.g., chain links, hooks) can also help reduce noise.
• Swing Instability: Verify that the overhead mounting points are secure and that the chains are evenly adjusted. Ensure the swing is level and that all connections are tight.
