Main risks

• Tipping or shifting on uneven ground or in gusts of wind.
• Falls when sitting down or standing up, and impacts due to uncontrolled swinging.
• Trapping and pinching at hinges, pivot points and folding mechanisms.
• Breakage due to overloading or poor weight distribution on one side.
• Failure of chains, ropes or joints damaged by wear, rust or fatigue.
• Very hot metal surfaces from sun exposure that can cause minor burns.
• Risk of fire or burns if placed near barbecues, braziers or outdoor heaters.
• Persistent moisture in cushions or fabrics that encourages mould and unpleasant odours.

Safe use

• Assemble following the manufacturer's instructions and check that screws and fixings are securely tightened.
• Place on a firm, level surface, leaving clear space in front of and behind the swing arc.
• Before use, inspect the frame, suspension points, fixings and fabrics; stop using it if there is any play, cracks or unusual noises.
• Observe the stated maximum load; sit centrally, and do not stand on or jump on the seat.
• Swing gently and keep hands, fingers, hair and clothing away from joints and moving parts.
• If the model has a stop or locking system, use it when getting on and off and in windy conditions.
• Keep the area clear of walls, railings, glass panels, plant pots and walkways to avoid collisions.
• Avoid placing very full drinks or hot items on armrests or surfaces that move with the swing.

Storage and maintenance

• Clean with mild soapy water and dry thoroughly; avoid abrasive products that could damage finishes or fabrics.
• Periodically retighten the fixings and check chains, ropes and anchor points; replace worn parts with compatible spares.
• Protect with a breathable cover when not in use; do not cover it when wet to prevent condensation and mould.
• Store cushions and, if possible, the canopy under cover when it rains or during periods of inactivity; allow to dry completely after each wet use.
• In periods of strong winds or in winter, remove textile elements and, if possible, store the set indoors or secure it properly.
• Check and keep the foot caps or leg protectors in good condition to prevent slipping and surface damage.

Restrictions on use

• Not a toy: avoid acrobatics, extreme swinging or rough pushing.
• Not suitable for babies or for sleeping; children must always use it under adult supervision.
• Do not exceed the number of seats or the recommended maximum load; do not hang from the top bar or the sides.
• Do not use on rooftop edges, narrow balconies, near staircases or pools without a barrier.
• Do not place or use near open flames, braziers, barbecues or intense heat sources.
• Avoid using on slippery surfaces (ice, wet tiles) or very soft ground that could compromise stability.
• People with unstable balance or reduced mobility should take extra care when sitting down and standing up and, if necessary, ask for help.
• Do not use if there is visible damage, loose parts or deformation in the frame or suspension components.
