Assembly
Plastic parts are already fitted to your Carabiners. The plastic parts
prevent metal-to-metal in your setup.
Before you hang the Moonboon Motor, the Carabiners must be fitted.
The Carabiners must be attached from the side, otherwise they cannot
be turned properly into place. Both Carabiners must be installed with the
narrow end pointing towards the Motor. See illustration 4.
It is important that you lock your Carabiners during installation. This is
done by screwing upwards on the safety lock until it is tightened. Avoid
overtightening the safety lock.

Mounting

Start by assembling and installing your Moonboon mounting system:
Moonboon Tripod Stand 2.0, Mounting Kit or Door Frame Clamp.
If you hang your Moonboon Motor from a ceiling hook (e.g. Moon-
boon’s Mounting Kit), you must carefully read the section on WEIGHT.
Attach the Carabiners in accordance with the installation instructions on
page 5.
Attach the Carabiner to your mounting system and attach the power
supply to the small hole at the top of the motor. The cable on the power
supply is 3 meters long. Make sure that the Cradle/Baby Hammock is
placed near an electrical outlet, or use an extension cord.
Make sure that the cable does not hang down next to the motor, but is
routed away from the setup, as this can create unwanted oscillations in
the product.
Included with your Moonboon product is a spring specially developed
for the Baby Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock and Cradle. The spring
is adapted to the product and the child’s weight (Baby Hammock and
Cradle) or the children’s combined weight (Twin Baby Hammock). Use
the included spring for optimal safety.
Then mount the Baby Hammock, the Twin Baby Hammock or the Cradle
as illustrated. When using with the Twin Baby Hammock, make sure that
the triangular safety carabiner hooks are tightened correctly and that the
safety locks of the Carabiners are securely tightened. Avoid overtighten-
ing the safety locks.
When the Baby Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock or Cradle is mounted
on the spring, the motor cable with the small s-hook must be mounted on
your Baby Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock or Cradle. The motor cable
is located at the bottom of the Moonboon Motor and must be pulled out
manually when it is to be mounted.
The last part of the cable consists of a short nylon cord on which the
s-hook is mounted. The motor cable is mounted by passing the nylon cord
and s-hook down and around the top of the product. For the Cradle, the
nylon cord is fitted around the adjustable cradle straps, approximate-
ly 7 cm from the metal ring. For the Baby Hammock and Twin Baby
Hammock, the nylon cord is fitted around the folded fabric, approxi-
mately 7 cm from the metal ring. Then fasten the s-hook around the nylon
cord to tighten it. See illustration below.

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.

7It is important that the cord is firmly attached before releasing. Make sure
that the cable is not in contact with the spring cover or anything else, as
this can create unwanted oscillations and wear on the cable and the
product.
When the Moonboon Motor and the motor cable are installed correctly,
you can switch on the power.
Read the sections on HEIGHT and WEIGHT before using the Motor.
Baby Hammock Twin Baby Hammock Cradle
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
Use of a Moonboon Motor and
a Moonboon 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
Assemble the Baby Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock or Cradle as de-
scribed in their respective user manuals and pull the spring to stretch it as
far as possible. This is done by pulling the spring until you feel the safety
strap (the nylon strap inside the spring) stopping the spring from extend-
ing any longer.
When the spring is fully extended, there must be ample clearance
between the bottom of the Baby Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock or
Cradle and the floor.
If the Baby Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock or Cradle touches the floor,
then check the setup again, or find a different location for the mounting.
Second test: With child
Place the child in the Baby Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock or Cradle
and perform the same test as before: Stretch the spring until you feel the
safety strap stop the spring.
There must be ample clearance 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 motor works by keeping the spring system in constant motion. Your
child’s weight and the spring used are the two main factors of motor
performance.
Baby Hammock
The supplied spring for the Baby Hammock can be used when the baby
weighs between 3 kg and 12 kg.
Depending on the baby’s weight, there will be a difference in how long
a strap you can use over the motor if you have your Moonboon Motor
hanging from a ceiling mount. Always follow the accompanying recom-
mendations and safety requirements to ensure that the Baby Hammock
is securely fastened and that the Moonboon Motor rocks as intended.
Insufficient weight in the Baby
Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock or
Cradle will cause the Moonboon
Motor to malfunction or turn off.

Moonboon Twin Baby Hammock
The supplied Spring for the Twin Baby Hammock and the Cradle can be
used when the combined weight of the children is between 4 kg and 12
kg.
Depending on the baby’s weight, there will be a difference in how long
a strap you can use over the motor if you have your Moonboon Motor
hanging from a ceiling mount. Always follow the accompanying recom-
mendations and safety requirements to ensure that the Twin Baby Ham-
mock is securely fastened and that the Moonboon Motor rocks as in-
tended.

12 kg and 20 kg.
For safety reasons, we do not rec-
ommend using a Baby Hammock,
Twin Baby Hammock, Cradle or any
other product from another brand
with the Moonboon Motor 2.0.
If you do, you must be aware of the
safety requirements of the product
and the associated spring. In some
cases, the Moonboon Motor 2.0
can only be used from a higher total
weight. This is because there is a dif-
ference between springs, their quali-
ty and their dimensioning.

Using the Moonboon Motor
Once you have installed the Moonboon Motor and connected the pow-
er supply, you can begin operation. Go through the SAFETY CHECK-
LIST and ensure that all points are met before switching on the Moon-
boon Motor for the first time.
You can switch off the Moonboon Motor at any time by turning the knobs
all the way to the left.
Timer
The top button ‘TIMER’ is used to set the period of time you want the
Moonboon Motor to rock.
The three dots indicate how long the engine will operate. The timer on
the motor can be set for anything between 5 minutes and 2 hours, or set
to run indefinitely. See the illustration for time settings.
The Moonboon Motor 2.0 is equipped with a safety function that auto-
matically stops the motor after 12 hours. We always recommend turning
off the engine as soon as your child is asleep.
Tempo
The bottom button ‘TEMPO’ is used to set the rocking speed.
The rocking speed is lowest when the pointer is turned to the left and
highest when it is pointing to the right.
Starting the Motor
- First turn the ‘TIMER’ button and set the desired time.
- Then turn the ‘TEMPO’ button and set the desired rocking speed.
When both knobs are set and the LED lights up green, simply put one
hand on the crossbar and start the Baby Hammock or Twin Baby Ham-
mock by gently pressing down once or twice. The Cradle is started by
carefully pulling down on the spring once or twice.
The engine will now take over and will begin to rock. You can use the
knobs to increase or decrease the pace so that the motor rocks at exactly
the speed your baby wants.
When the time is up, the motor will slow down and then stop completely.
You can always stop the Moon-
boon Motor by grabbing the Baby
Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock, or
the Cradle. This will cause the LED
to glow red. The Moonboon Motor
must then be switched off and re-
started by turning both knobs all the
way to the left for it to restart.
Please note
Please note that the motor will not
work with too little weight or no weight
in the Baby Hammock or Cradle.
When used with the Baby Hammock
and the Cradle, the child must weigh
at least 3 kg. When used together with
the Twin Baby Hammock, the children
must have a combined total weight of
at least 4 kg.

The LED does not light up
Check that the power supply is firmly attached to the top of the Moon-
boon Motor and that the power is switched on. Turn off the power and
wait 30 seconds before turning it back on.
If the diode still does not light up, the Moonboon Motor may need ser-
vicing. Please contact customer service.
The LED flashes red and green
The Moonboon Motor indicates that you are not using a correct power
supply. Read more in the SAFETY CHECKLIST.
The LED lights up red
The motor has gone into fail safe mode and has stopped by itself as it
has detected an error. Reset the motor by turning both knobs to the off
position and then restart the operation.
If you repeatedly experience that the LED lights up red, this may indicate:
- There is not enough weight in the Baby Hammock, the Twin Baby Ham-
mock or the Cradle. Read the section on WEIGHT.
- That you have too long a ceiling mount over the Moonboon Motor if it
hangs from the ceiling. Read the section on WEIGHT.
- The Moonboon Motor is starting at too low a speed. If necessary, start
the engine at a higher speed, then reduce to the desired speed.
- The motor cable is not attached correctly to the Baby Hammock, the
Twin Baby Hammock or the Cradle. Adjust the cable according to the
instructions in the section about MOUNTING.
- The Moonboon Motor is registering the baby’s movement as a safety
risk. In this case, the motor will go into fail-safe mode and switch itself off.

User Manual
Moonboon Motor 2.0
Can the Moonboon Motor 2.0 be used for all baby hammock and
cradles?
Moonboon Motor 2.0 from Moonboon is compatible with most baby
hammocks and cradles on the market, but is designed to fit perfectly
with Moonboon’s Baby Hammock, Twin Baby Hammock, Cradle and
Moonboon Springs.
Note that the operation of the motor is dependent on the weight applied
to it. Follow the instructions to ensure that the Moonboon Motor works
properly. For more information, read the section on WEIGHT.
Can the motor rock 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.
How long can the motor run?
We have developed the timer on our engine to be able to run from 5 min-
utes to up to 2 hours, or unlimited if desired. When the timer is finished,
the Motor will slow down and then turn off completely.
For safety reasons, the Moonboon Motor 2.0 is equipped with a safety
function that automatically stops the motor after 12 hours. We always
recommend turning off the motor as soon as your child is asleep.
Why are plastic parts included with my Moonboon Motor?
In August 2021, the Danish Safety Agency drew attention to the fact that
there have been cases where children have had metal splinters in their
eyes due to unsuitable metal hooks used to hang sensory swings, bird
nests and baby hammocks. None of these cases were from Moonboon
products.
Moonboon has developed a specific ceiling mount, which can be used
for mounting in ceilings made of concrete and wood. In addition, Moon-
boon has developed plastic parts for Moonboon’s spring and Moon-
boon Motor system to completely avoid metal on metal contact in the
mount.
Questions and Answers
It is important to use a stainless steel
hook without coating. Similar pre-
cautions must be applied if you use a
metal chain.
