Assembly
Your carabiners already comes with plastic parts mounted on them. The
plastic parts prevents metal against metal in your set-up. Before hanging
the motor, you need to attach the carabiners to the Moonboon Motor.
The carabiners must be put on from the side, laying flat against the Motor
- otherwise, they can not be rotated properly into place.
The narrow end of the carabiners should point towards the Motor, see
picture 4.
It is important that you lock your carabiners once they are fitted correctly.
This is done by gently securing the safety lock.

Mounting
The nylon string is to be fastened as
close to the center of the Baby Ham-
mock, Twin Baby Hammock or Cradle
as possible while still leaving dis-
tance between the motor wire and the
Spring. Make sure to prevent the wire
from touching and wearing out the
fabric covering the spring.

Please note
First, you must prepare your chosen mounting method; Tripod Stand 2.0,
Door Frame Clamp or Mounting Kit.
If you hang your Moonboon Motor from a ceiling hook and strap or
chain, you must carefully read the section on WEIGHT.
Attach the carabiners as described on page 5.
Now use the upper carabiner for hanging the Motor. Feed the power
cable into the small hole at the top of the Motor. The power cord is 10
feet / 3 meters long, so you need to place your set-up near a power
outlet.
Make sure that the power cable does not trail down the Motor, Baby
Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock or Cradle, but rather is kept away from
them.
Now hang the spring and then your choice of Baby Hammock, Twin
Baby Hammock or Cradle in the carabiner under the Motor. Check that
the two carabiners open and close properly.
Once the Baby Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock or Cradle is mounted,
the nylon string coming out of the bottom of the Motor is to be wound
around the fabric at the top of the Baby Hammock/Twin Baby Hammock/
Cradle. Do this by pulling the string down, winding it around the fabric,
and fastening the S-hook around the string so that it is fixed in place. See
the illustration below.
It is important that the string is securely fastened before you let go of it.
Once the Moonboon Motor and the nylon string are in place, you may
turn the power on. Read the sections on HEIGHT and WEIGHT before
using the Motor.

If the Moonboon Motor is suspended
from the ceiling, it is important to use
a stainless steel hook without coating.
Similar precautions must be applied if
you use a metal chain.

Use of a Moonboon Motor and
Baby Hammock mounted in a Door
Frame Clamp requires a minimum of
86 inches / 220 cm between the
door frame and the floor.
Please note
Height
It is essential that Baby Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock or Cradle does
not touch the floor during operation. Before using your product, perform
two tests to ensure that it does not touch the floor.
First test: Without child
Mount the Baby Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock or Cradle as instructed
and manually stretch the spring as much as you can. Pull on the spring
until you feel the safety strap (the nylon strap inside the spring) preventing
any further expansion. When the spring is fully extended, space must
remain between the bottom of Baby Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock or
Cradle and the floor.
Second test: With child
Now place the child in the Baby Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock or
Cradle and repeat the test described above: Stretch out the spring until
you feel the safety strap keeping it from stretching further.
Here, too, space must remain between the bottom of the Baby Ham-
mock, Twin Baby Hammock or Cradle and the floor.
Follow these instructions and
perform the tests regularly as your
child grows and becomes heavier.
That is how you ensure that the Baby
Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock or
Cradle never touches the floor.

Weight
The Moonboon Motor works by keeping the spring in constant motion.
Therefore, the weight of your child is a key factor in the functioning of the
motor.
Baby Hammock
The Moonboon Motor may be used for babies weighing between 4 kg
/ 9 lbs and 20 kg / 44 lbs when used with the Baby Hammock. If you
are using a Baby Hammock from a different supplier, you may not be
able to use the Motor until your baby weighs 6 kg /13 lbs. This is due
to the differences among baby hammocks in terms of the stiffness of the
Spring.
if you hang the Moonboon Motor in a strap or chain from a ceiling hook
(e.g. Moonboon’s Mounting Kit), your baby’s weight will determine how
long the strap/chain can be. If the following recommendations are not
followed, there is a risk that the Motor will not function properly, in which
case it will turn itself off.
Baby weighs less than 8 kg / 17.6 lbs
If the child weighs less than 8 kg / 17.6 lbs, the strap/chain between the
motor and the ceiling must not be longer than 15 cm / 6 inches.
Baby weighs more than 8 kg / 17.6 lbs
If baby weighs more than 8 kg / 17.6 lbs, there must be no more than 50
cm / 20 inches of strap/chain between the motor and the ceiling.
Insufficient weight in the Baby
Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock or
Cradle will cause the Moonboon
Motor to malfunction or turn off.

Using the Moonboon Motor
Once you have mounted the Moonboon Motor and connected the power
cable, you may begin using it. Review the SAFETY CHECKLIST and en-
sure that all instructions have been followed before starting the Moon-
boon Motor for the first time.
You may turn the Motor off at any time by turning the buttons back to their
leftmost position.
Timer
The upper button ‘TIMER’ is used to set the duration of the operation of
the Moonboon Motor.
The 3 dots each represent 1 hour. The Motor may be set to operate be-
tween 5 minutes and 3 hours.
Tempo
The lower button ‘TEMPO’ is used to set the speed of operation.
Turn the arrow to the left for the lowest speed and to the right for the
highest speed.
Starting the Motor
- First turn the ‘TIMER’ button and set the desired time.
- Then turn the ‘TEMPO’ button and set the desired speed.
If the light is green and both buttons have been set, just put your hand on
the cross pin and activate the Baby Hammock or Twin Baby Hammock
by pressing down on it once or twice. The Cradle, in the same way, is
activated by pulling down on it once or twice.
The motor will automatically begin operating the Baby Hammock, Twin
Baby Hammock or Cradle. The tempo setting may be adjusted at any
time to the preference of your baby.
Once the set time has been reached, the Motor will slowly decrease its
speed before fully stopping.
The Moonboon Motor may be
stopped at any time by touching the
hammock or the spring. Doing so will
make the motor light come on red,
and the motor must be restarted be-
fore it can resume operating.
Please note
the motor will not work without weight in
the Baby Hammock, Twin Baby Ham-
mock or Cradle.

No light
Check that the power cord is firmly inserted into the top of the Moon-
boon Motor and that the power is on. Turn off the power and wait 30
seconds before turning it on again.
If the light still does not come on, the Motor may need servicing. Please
contact our customer service team.
The light alternates between red and green
This is an indication that the wrong kind of power is being supplied. See
the details in the safety checklist.
The light is red
There has been a malfunction in the Motor. The Motor may be restarted
by turning off both buttons and turning them on again.
If the light is red repeatedly, some reasons could include:
- that there is insufficient weight in the Baby Hammock, Twin Baby Ham-
mock or Cradle. Read the section on WEIGHT.
- that the strap/chain above the motor is too long (this can be the case
with ceiling mounted Motors). Read the section on WEIGHT.
- that the motor starts at too low a speed. You could start the motor at a
higher speed and then reduce the speed as desired.
- that the motorwire is not fastened correctly to the Baby Hammock, Twin
Baby Hammock or Cradle.
- that baby is fussy and moves around too much in the Baby Hammock,
Twin Baby Hammock or Cradle. The Motor will register such movement
as an irregular tug at the motorwire, which is a safety risk, and it will turn
off.

Can the Moonboon Motor be used with a Baby Hammock of a
different brand?
The Moonboon Motor from Moonboon is compatible with most Baby
Hammocks on the market, but it is developed especially to be used with
the Baby Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock or Cradle and their springs.
Note that your baby may need to weigh more than 4 kg / 9 lbs for the
Moonboon Motor to work properly if you are using a Baby Hammock of
a different brand. Refer to the section on WEIGHT.
What kind of hook is to be used to hang the motor from the ceiling?
If you choose to hang your Motor from a hook in the ceiling, we always
recommend you use Moonboon’s Mounting Kit, which includes a stain-
less steel ceiling hook and a hardwearing mounting strap in cotton and
nylon. If you choose to use another hook, you must always ensure that
the hook is strong enough to carry the weight of the Cradle and the child.
If your ceiling is plaster, it is generally recommended that you hang any
weight from a structural beam or rafter foot.
Why can’t the Motor move faster?
Several experts have participated in the design of the Moonboon prod-
ucts – engineers as well as professionals from the health authorities. Our
primary concern has always been safety, and the maximum speed of the
motor was set according to the recommendations of the experts.
Why are plastic parts included with my Moonboon Motor?
In August 2021, the Danish Safety Authority reported that there have
been cases of children getting metal splinters in their eyes due to unsuit-
able metal hooks used to hang sensory swings, bird’s nest swings, and
baby hammocks.
With this in mind, Moonboon has developed a specific Mounting Kit
to mount your Moonboon Motor from concrete and wooden ceilings.
Furthermore, Moonboon has developed plastic parts for the Spring and
Motor to avoid metal on metal.
