1 Introduction
Create with your TRAUMSCHWINGER (dream swing) a favorite place, a perso-
nal Oasis in your home, in the garden, on the balcony or at your workplace. You
will notice that ceilings, ceiling beams, loft beds, roof- and balcony projections,
conservatories, pergolas, stable branches as well as wide doorframes diverse op-
portunities to place the chair. Also during your vacation, while camping or on trips
you will soon welcome the hammock chair as a companion. Even the transport is
not a problem, since with each chair, you will receive a bag made of cotton fabric,
where you can store the chair ready and space-saving.
This manual will explain to you the instruction, of how to use your TRAUM-
SCHWINGER (dream swing). The different sizes of the models are construction
equal, the individual steps therefore will be shown as illustrated on Model L. All
information also apply to the other models. The peculiarities of the models for
children (Baby chair and children‘s chair) are explained in chapter 8.

2 Prerequisites
For your TRAUMSCHWINGER you need your building conditions and use wishes
adequately secured. You can receive the standard xing for our products directly
through MIRA - ART we would be pleased to advise you.
Basically, you have the choice between a ceiling mounting, attachment to a beam
or the use of a stator. Pay attention of the respective weight if you are purchase
the attachment for the TRAUMSCHWINGER. Make sure when you chose ceiling
mounting, that your requirement for your ceiling (e.g. concrete) is met. Inquire at
a local hardware store, what kind of attachment you are suppose to use for your
structural circumstances.
SAFETY NOTICE
Our TRAUMSCHWINGER - hanging chairs are resting as well as relaxing
furniture. They are not to be used as trainers and/or play area. If you notice
damage of the material (e.g. cracks), the product should not be used any-
more. When an infant or toddler is placed in the nettling, a cloth should be
placed underneath him. Children should not be allowed unsupervised the
use of the furniture. Carefully observe further notice and safety instructions
in this manual, and keep them for possible questions.
Follow exactly the instructions in order to avoid causing dangers due to
incorrect installation. The mounting should be carried out by an adult.
Suspension and height adjustment are to be checked regularely for tight-
ness.
In all one-dot-suspension a swivel or similar needs to be used in order to
avoid shear stresses on the suspension. Our stainless steel hangers with
integrated plain or ball bearing make the use of an additional rotating vortex
unnecessary.

4 Assembly of the height adjustment
The rst part for mounting your TRAUMSCHWINGER forms of assembling of
the supplied height adjustment. For this you need the items from the box of
height adjustment and the swivel. The required Tool (an Allen key) is enclosed.
The mounting of the height adjustment can be most easily done, when sitting
at a table.
4.1 Prepare the threaded rods
Some metal parts are ore pre-assem-
bled for testing.
For the assembly you need to dis-
assemble those rst.Take the three
pre-threaded rod´s unscrew each
one of the round nuts and remove
the respective stainless-steel socket
of the threaded rod down. The re-
mainiing ring nut on the threaded rod
screw tangible. Now you have three
threaded rods, on which each a
round nut is screwed.
4.2 Insertion of threaded rods (1)
Take now one of the triangular
wooden panel. One side of the wooden
panel is marked with a colored sticker.
That is the inside of the panel.
Hold the panel with one hand, so that
the sticker marked side faces down-
ward. With your other hand put through
each of the three holes a threaded rod
with a round nut.

4.2 Inserting the threaded rods (2)
Now place your free hand on the
three round nuts to prevent them
from slipping and turn with your
hand the wooden panel The side
with the colored sticker is facing
you now. Place the wooden panel
like that in front of you. The panel
lies now on the round nuts. The
threaded rods face upwards.
Take one of the stainless steel inlays.
A colored sticker marks the side of the
stainless steel inlays, which should be
attached with the inside of the wood
panel.
Grasp the stainless steel inlay in a
way that the side of the sticker is
facing downward. Place the lead over
the threaded rods and place it on the
wooden panel. With colored label
marked side of the stainless steel in-
lays is now placed on the with colored
sticker marked side of the wood cheek.
4.3 Attach the rst stainless steel
inlays
SAFETY NOTICE
It´s imperative that with colored stickers marked sides of the wooden panel
and the stainless steel inlays lie on each other. This provides that only the
rounded edge of the stainless steel inlays contacted with the supporting
ropes. Failure to comply these installation instructions may increase wear
of the supporting ropes.

4.4 Attach the stainless steel
bushings
4.5 Inserting the steel pin into the
wooden wedge
On the threaded rod into the top
of the triangular wooden panel insert
the stainless steel socket with a
groove. On the two threaded rods at
the short side of the triangular wood
cheek insert now the stainless steel
sockets (without groove).
Now take the wooden wedge and the
steel pen into your hand. Run the
steel pin through the hole in the extent
of the wood chisel uniformly, that on
each side of about 2 mm protrudes.

4.6 Placing the wood wedge over
the stainless steel inlay
4.7 Attach the second noble steel
inlay
Place now the wooden wedge,
which is inserted already with the
imported steel pin with smooth sides
on the already mounted stainless
steel inlay. Place the wooden wedge
so, that the protruding steel pin in
the slot of the stainless steel inlay
must be performed.
Take the second stainless steel inlay
in your hand. Grasp the stainless
steel inlay so, that with the label
marked side facing upward. Run the
stainless steel inlay on the threaded
rods and place it on the stainless
steel bushings. Please ensure that
the steel pin in wooden wedge also
performed in the second slot of the
stainless steel inlay.
SAFETY NOTICE
It´s imperative that with colored stickers marked sides of the wooden panel
and the stainless steel inlays lie on each other. This garantees that only the
rounded edge of the stainless steel inlays are in contact with the supporting
ropes. Failure to comply with this installation instructions may increase
wear of the supporting ropes.

- 13 -
4.8 Attaching the second wooden
panel
4.9 Screw down and tighten the
round nuts
Take the second wooden panel.
With a colored sticker marked side
of the wooden wedge must lie on
the second stainless steel inlay with
a color sticker. Grasp the second
wooden panel so, that the sticker
marked side facing downward. Run
the wooden panel on the threaded
rods and place it over the stainless
steel inlay. With colored sticker
marked side of the second wooden
panel is placed now on the colored
label marked side of the second
stainless steel inlay.
Now screw the three remaining
round nuts with the three threaded
rods, which are placed in the holes of
the second wooden panel. As tool you
can also use the Allen key from the
delivery. Finally drag every six round
nuts tightly. In front of you is now the
fully assembled height adjustment for
your TRAUMSCHWINGER.
SAFETY NOTICE
During use is a possibility that the round nuts loosen. Regularly check
the tightness of the round nuts and drag them rmly with the supplied
Allen key. In case the round nuts loosen, the space between the metal
components can cause metal abrasion, which possibly can stain cord.

5 Connecting the netting with the height adjustment
Next you connect the netting of your TRAUMSCHWINGER with the height
adjustment. Due to the fact that you have to spread the netting in front of you,
we recommend you put a blanket on the oor. The height adjustment you should
place next to you. This will help you with the next steps.
5.1 Spread netting
Take the rolled netting and unroll it. Loosen the by knots fastened cloth bag with
the wooden crossbars as well as the two page woods off the netting. The cloth
bag may be put aside, since you need the timbers only in the next section. The
best way to spread the netting is, when you raise it once completely with your
hands. For this, take one of the two connection knots in each hand and lift the net
completely in to air. That netting will rotate itself into the correct position. You just
need to return it at on the oor in this position.
For the next steps you need to make sure that the netting is aligned rightly on
the ground. This is indicated by the position of the Netting attached labels. When
the label is on the right top side of aligned netting in front of you, then it lies in the
proper position. If the label is not in this position, rotate or apply the netting accor-
dingly.

- 16 -
5.2 Insert the rope ends and jam them
On delivery, the track ropes can be twisted in themselves and each other, because
of material and manufacturing conditions. Prior to inserting the rope ends in the
height adjustment, you need to make sure that the support ropes are not twisted in
itself and into each other.
SAFETY NOTICE
In case the suspension ropes are inserted into the height adjustment twisted
in itself or into each other, this may increase the wear of the ropes through
damage to the rope surface.
Start at the left side to align the carrying ropes without twisting. Take the left
connecting knots into your left hand and lift this to the extent that the two ropes
are easily clammed to the corners of the netting. Turn the connecting knots in
your hand in a way that the two ropes from the connection knots avoid to over-
lie one another. (See the following two pix).
If the left connection knot is in this position, take the one from the knot running
rope pair between your thumb and forenger of your right Hand (see next gure).
RIGHT WRONG

- 17 -
Now drag with your left hand the rope
pair trough the right hand, without to
twist the ropes. If you reach the end
of the rope, grab around. Hold the end
of the rope pair with your left hand so
tight, that it does not twist again.
Now take the height adjustment so
in your right hand, the wood wedge
almost half inserted into the height
adjustment. Insert the end of the rope
pair as the left stainless steel bushing
of height adjustment, that two ropes
side by side laying on the stainless
steel bushing.
Lead out the end of the rope pair bet-
ween this bush and the wooden
wedge from the height adjustment.
Drag now on this rope pair that it´s
hanging out about 40 cm from the
height adjustment.
Place the height adjustment on the
netting, which is pulled on the left side
rope.
Now take the right connection node in
your right hand and proceed on this
side as well as on the left side. If you
also have led the right pair of ropes
through the height adjustment, press
the wooden wedge into the height
adjustment. This xed the ropes in the
height adjustment.

6 Netting hang up and span
In this section you will nished assembling your TRAUMSCHWINGER For this
you will need the height adjustment connected with the netting, the vertical wood
and the two side wood, the rope bag and a ladder.
6.1 Netting to hang up with height adjustment
6.2 Insert vertical strut
Hang the connected height adjustment with the
swivel into the prepared (resp. existing) suitable
attachment (see chapter 2 Prerequisites). The
following gure shows an example of a mounting
in a wooden beam.
Safety note
Regardless of the type of mounting this has to
be regularly checked for tightness and wear!
One of the supplied wooden struts is longer than the
others. This is the vertical wood (conjunction) NOTE:
For models XXL and XXL extra large all wooden struts
are of same length. You will recognize the vertical strut
since it is thicker than the two of the other woods.
Take the vertical wood and run the respective rope
pair just above the connection knots in the recesses
of the vertical wood. Take care that the ropes, which
are running out of the bottom of the connection knots,
do not overlie one another or are twisted! Turn the
connecting knots in your hand so, that the two ropes
run freely to back and front (see the two Pictures on
the following page). Press the rope pair all the way
into the recess of the vertical wood (conjunction).

- 19 -
RIGHT WRONG
6.3 Insert side strut
In order to facilitate the insertion of the side woods,
set yourself for 2 minutes into the netting to stretch
the cotton (even in the M models and baby vibrator).
This is also good for the netting to give its comfor-
table shape after the rst unpacking. After getting
up take the two side woods and plug them on both
sides along the seat surface between the existing
knots above the netting. Press the suspension
ropes all the way in the recesses of the side woods.
For information of adusting the seat height see the
chapter „Using your TRAUMSCHWINGER“.
SAFETY NOTICE
Do not use sharp objects to the rope pair in order to push it into the recesss. This
may damage the surface of the rope, and can interfere with the carrying capacity
of the cables.
SAFETY NOTICE
If the suspension ropes lay on each other or are twisted, this can
increase wear of the ropes through damage to the rope surface. Do
not use sharp objects to the rope pair to push into the recess. This
may damage the surface of the rope, and can interfere with the
carrying capacity of the cables.

- 20 -
6.4 Attaching the rope bag
As a nal step you bring the rope bag
between the two rope pairs above the
cross of wood. Hang on the universal
case with the two adjustable straps. For
the motive bags (sun and sheep) you
should made a knot in order to attach
the cords. Then stow ropes and the
possibly end of the rope of the foot part
in this pocket.
SAFETY NOTICE
The stowage of the ropes is for your safety. Due to the fact that the ropes
are in the bag, an accidental release of the height adjustment cannot occure.
7 Assembly ot foot part (optional)
In this section we show you the installation and mounting of the foot part of your
TRAUMSCHWINGER. Since you have to spread the netting in front of you, we
recommend you put a blanket on the oor. Put the foot bundle in front of you and
unwind the cord of the foot bundles. Then loosen the cotton bag with the timbers
from the netting.
Note
All´ the parts will be cleaned at the end of the production process. In addition
we recommend that you manually clean certain parts to avoid contamination
of cotton ropes. With a dry cotton cloth, clean the openings in the wooden
poles to remove sanding dust residues.
