4. Setup and Assembly

The HARPPA Grovi Playpen is designed for easy setup. Follow these steps for assembly:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all wooden panels, plastic connectors, and corner clips from the packaging.
2. Connect Panels: Align the snaps on the plastic connectors with the holes on the wooden panels. Press firmly to secure the connection. Ensure each panel is securely attached.
3. Form Corners: Use the plastic corner clips to connect panels at 90-degree angles, forming the desired shape (e.g., square, rectangle, L-shape). Press down on the clips until they snap into place, ensuring a firm connection.
4. Install Gate Panel: Integrate the gate panel into your desired configuration. Ensure the gate's locking mechanism is functional and secure.
5. Secure to Floor (Optional but Recommended): Place the included suction cups on the bottom of the playpen panels for enhanced stability on smooth surfaces.
6. Wall Anchoring (Crucial for Safety): For maximum stability and safety, use zip ties with furniture anchors to secure the playpen to a wall, especially if using a larger or irregular configuration.

The playpen can be configured into various shapes to suit your space, such as a square, rectangle, or L-shape. The design allows for flexibility while maintaining structural integrity.

5. Operating Instructions

The HARPPA Grovi Playpen is designed for simple and secure operation.

• Opening the Gate: To open the gate, locate the locking mechanism on the gate panel. Turn the knob pieces to unlock and then gently push the gate inwards or outwards, depending on the configuration.
• Closing the Gate: To close, simply swing the gate back into position until it clicks securely into the locked position. Ensure both top and bottom locking mechanisms are engaged.
• Adjusting Size/Shape: The modular design allows you to add or remove panels to adjust the playpen's size and shape. To do this, carefully detach the plastic connectors and reconfigure the panels as desired. Always ensure all connections are re-secured after adjustment.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down wooden surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the wood finish.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect all connections, panels, and the gate mechanism for any signs of wear, damage, or loosening. Tighten or replace components as needed.
• Storage: To fold and store the HARPPA Grovi playpen, the connectors must be removed for proper folding and storage. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

• Playpen feels unstable: Ensure all plastic connectors and corner clips are fully engaged and pressed tightly. Verify that suction cups are properly adhered to the floor. For enhanced stability, use wall anchors as described in the Safety Information section.
• Gate not closing securely: Check that the gate panel is correctly aligned with the adjacent panels and that both the top and bottom locking mechanisms are functioning properly. Ensure no debris is obstructing the latch.
• Difficulty connecting panels: Ensure the snaps on the connectors are correctly aligned with the holes on the wooden panels. Apply firm, even pressure until a click is heard, indicating a secure connection.
