Setting Up Your Baby Hammock
1. When hanging the hammock from the ceiling you will
need to use half or all of the stainless steel chain and
karabiner clips to get a suitable height. Use the lower
karabiner clip to attach to the top of the spring. When
using the door clamp the quick-link clip can attach to the
spring. In both case, the swivel snap hook on the bottom
of the spring should be hanging 130-150cm from the
ground i.e. about head height.
2. Attach the stainless steel ring on the hammock body to
the swivel snap hook. Ensure that the D-ring sitting just
below the ring is closed and is holding the fabric so the
hammock is exactly centred. If you fold the hammock
in half the sides should be even. This fitting has been
included to stabilise the hammock and prevent side
tilting. Contact us if you have an earlier model with a
fabric tie or no D-ring.
3. You will find cotton ties on each side of the hammock, 36cm down from the top,
the wooden spreader beam is designed to sit just above these points. Tightly
gather and bunch the fabric until it can be squeezed into the notches at the ends
of the beam. Do both sides and check the beam is horizontal. To secure it in place,
wrap the cotton ties once around the fabric below the beam, then cross up over
the wood and tie with a bow.
4. Customer needs to wash and dry the fitted sheet
before making the bed. All other parts are ready for
use once assembled.
If a mattress protector is desired, please use a
breathable one such as wool or the Natures Sway
Mattress Protector – do not use plastic.
