securely fastened together
before using the swing.
Step 1.

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.

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.

ting. Change setting if needed.

To turn swing off, slide switch
to the center OFF position.
