short side of tube near the  
wire end. Then use viewing hole  
to line up the end of the screw  
with the hole in the tube.  
Step 1.  
The four legs have a double  
button at one end and a  
single button beneath it.

Installing the Batteries  
Starting the Swing  
CHECK that all parts are  
securely fastened together  
before using the swing.  
Step 1.  
Coin  
slot  
With baby out of swing, open  
the battery compartment lid by  
inserting a coin (penny, nickel or  
dime) into the coin slot. After the  
lid pops open, swing it down  
and remove it.  
Step 1.  
Open the waist belt. Place  
baby in the seat. (If your child  
is very small, you may want  
to use rolled-up blankets as  
a prop.)  
Step 2.  
Step 2.  
Insert four “D” cells. Alkaline or  
Ni-Cad “D” cells are best.  
CHECK that the batteries are  
put in correctly. Your swing will  
not run if the batteries are put in  
backwards.  
Fasten the waist belt. Adjust  
belt as needed to get a snug  
fit around your child.  
Do not depend on the tray alone to  
hold your baby. Always secure your baby with the  
waist belt when your child is in the swing.  
Step 3.  
To replace lid, put the two  
tabs of the lid into the two  
slots in the bottom of the motor  
housing. Swing lid up, and  
press it into place until you  
hear the latch click.  
Step 3.  
To start swing, slide the speed  
button to the desired speed  
and give the swing a gentle  
push.  
Observe the swinging motion  
for a minute. It takes time for  
the swing to adjust to a set-  
ting. Change setting if needed.  
Step 4.  
To turn swing off, slide switch  
to the center OFF position.  
Indicator Light-  
Red light comes on  
when swing is turned on.  
Your seat may be stopped at any time the motor is  
running without damaging the motor. Push swing  
to restart.  
If your swing motor stops operating by itself, a  
protective device may have been activated. Turn  
off motor, wait three minutes, then restart swing.
