• Don’t grip, push or pull on the poles while anybody is in the hammock. 

• Don’t swing in the hammock enough to collide with the poles. 

• Don’t collapse the poles when dirty, as they may jam. Wipe them down as necessary, 

optionally applying a light waxy or silicone lubricant. If you disassemble sections 
completely for thorough cleaning, remember to leave one as a re-assembly reference.
