WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
You’ll find everything you need to hang your Balance Chair in the box:
- 1 x Balance Chair + 5m of hanging rope with steel carabiner (used to attach to the top of your Balance).
- 1 x hanging set.
- 4 x spare elastic for the fixation of the fabric on the wood
- 100 ml of oil (Do not hesitate to coat the wood after one year with this oil once a year with a soft brush).
No tools needed.
1- Unpack and place your Balance chair on the ground.
2- Open the assembly kit. It consists of two ropes which are joined at one end and which are separated at the other end.
Each of the three ends contains a metal fastener
3- Insert the metal fastener of the double rope into the hole at the top of your Balance chair. The metal part must be securely
attached to the outside of your Balance chair as shown in the photo (N°1)
4- Reproduce the same operation with the other two metal strings and fasteners in the other two holes of your Balance Chair.
5- Hang your Balance chair on the rope provided.
6- Hang your Balance chair – but before you do, check that the branch, beam or bracket is strong enough to take your weight
and the weight of any friends who may be joining you.
EVERY TIME YOU USE YOUR BALANCE CHAIR YOU MUST
- Always check that your Balance chair and its hanging system are in good condition and show no signs of damage, wear or tear.
- Always ensure that you use a suitable knot to tie off your hanging rope and that your chosen hanging point is strong enough
to take at least the same weight as you intend to have in the Balance chair.
- Always tether when using the Balance chair.
- Never exceed the stated load limit or hang the Balance chair higher than just above ground level (when fully laden).
- Never jump into a Balance chair or use it as a trampoline or swing – the Balance chair is designed for gentle play and relaxation.
- Never hang your Balance chair where it can swing into a vertical surface.
- Never twist or spin your Balance chair. It is only designed to hang from the webbing loop without any twists.
HOW TO USE YOUR BALANCE CHAIR?
1- Set the height of the Balance chair off the ground to around that of a typical seat.
2- Sit down in your Balance chair just as you would in a normal chair.
3- Shift your body weight to suit your mood. – remember the further back you move in your Balance chair the more reclined
it will become.
4- To get out, put both feet firmly on the ground outside of the Balance chair and simply stand up just as you would if you
were getting up from a normal chair.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING THE BALANCE GEOMETRY FROM THE ROPE HANGING SYSTEM
Here is a drawing which describes the almost infinite angles at which a chair becomes comfortable. You can see that the more
reclined the angle the lower the front of the chair or back of your knee needs to be. (N°2)
To ensure that your Balance Chair is just that you will need to zero in on the height to angle relationship which is best for you.
This might take a few attempts.
Altering the height is less complicated than altering the angle so please start with that. It is simply a question of tying the
hanging rope off so that your feet sit flat on the ground and the back of your knees are not touching the front cross bar.
The photo shows the top carabineer as it is packed at our factory. You can see the although there are for ropes passing through
it there are only three end loops and three hang points on the chair. Two single ropes going to the front left and right and one
double to the back. By moving the rope through the knot in one direction you will lengthen the front lines and shorten the
back line and the opposite happens when you do it the other way. (N°3)
You may have to try a few times to set the knot evenly but believe my it is really worth getting this perfectly for ultimate
comfort. You can now reset the height to swing or to sit just as you like.
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR BALANCE CHAIR?
Always tether your Balance chair when not in use – this is particularly important in high winds – and ensure that it cannot bang
