Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the aluminum frame and plastic components with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storage. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use, disassemble the stand and store it in its custom carrying case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Inspection: Regularly check all frame connections, poles, and plastic feet for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace any damaged parts immediately.

Troubleshooting

• Stand feels unstable: Ensure all poles are fully inserted into their respective connection points. Verify the stand is on a flat, level surface.
• Difficulty assembling: Check that you are connecting the correct poles to the correct hubs. The system is designed to prevent incorrect assembly, but force should not be required. If a connection is stiff, ensure no debris is present.
• Hammock not hanging correctly: Adjust the integrated hammock straps to achieve the desired height and tension. Ensure your hammock is compatible with the stand (gathered-end, up to 10 feet).
