Attaching the Legs
Step 1.
The four legs have a double
button at one end and a single
button beneath it.
With the hub sides facing up,
place the motor housing and
pivot housing on the floor.
Position legs so their single
buttons also face up.
Insert legs into the motor
housing and pivot housing as
shown. The double buttons
must fit into the channels
inside the housings.
Step 2.
Push each leg in until the
double button snaps into
the hole at the end of the
channel. Then swing the
legs outward until the single
button snaps into its notch,
as shown.

CHECK that the legs are properly attached by
twisting them in the housings. They should resist
twisting. If a leg twists and buttons come out of
their holes, insert leg into the housing again. Be
sure to align BOTH double buttons with BOTH sets
of channels inside the housings.
Step 2.
Begin by inserting a screw all
the way into the small hole on

Tighten the screw securely.
Repeat above steps for the
other feet.

by wiggling the feet.
Step 3.
Push a plastic tip onto all four
of the feet. Tap leg tips on
the floor to be sure they are

Mix N Move Toy System
Your swing is equipped with two toys in Gracos Mix
N Move interchangeable toy system. This system,
featured on various Graco
®
swings, highchairs, strollers
and mobile entertainers, allows your baby to enjoy a
changing array of amusements and even take favorites
along. Look for other toys in the enclosed leaflet.
Step 1.
To install a toy, insert the two
prongs on the toy base into a toy
mount at the notches.
Step 2.
Turn toy base one quarter
turn until you feel the toy
snap into place.
Check that toy is firmly
inserted by pulling on
the toy.
Toy is removable (turn it the other way with a little
pressure) so that you can replace it with other toys
when desired.
If you choose not to use the toys at this time, please
insert the two plastic covers as described below to fill
the holes in the tray.

your swing, first push one side
into a notch, then push in the
other side.

To Turn Off the Swing
Press and hold either speed button.
Indicator light will go off and swing
will stop.
Using the Timer
You can program your swing to turn off after a certain
period of time. The timer button, located between the two
speed buttons, sets the swing time in ten-minute increments
up to 40 minutes. Push the button once; the swing will run
for ten minutes.
To add time, push the timer button once more for every
ten minutes you wish to add. The active speed setting
light will blink in repetition, one blink for every ten minutes
programmed. The number of blinks will decrease to give
you an indication of the time remaining.
The light will blink continuously when a minute or less of
time is remaining. If you do not set the timer at all, your
swing will run until you turn it off. To cancel timer mode,
press and hold the timer button until the light stops blinking.
If you are using the timer, both the swing and the music will
stop when the time runs out.
To Use Music
If you want music for your baby, push the music button until
desired volume is reached:
Push once for high volume.
Push a second time for
*
medium volume.
Push a third time for low
*
volume.
Push a fourth time to turn
*
music off.
The music control is independent of the speed and timer
settings. You can have any combination of speed, timer and
music settings.
For example, if the center light is red and its blinking two
times quickly between pauses, your swing is on speed 5
and will run for twenty minutes before stopping.
To add time, push the time
button once or twice.
To turn swing off, press and
hold either speed button
briefly.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
!
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
!
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
!
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
!
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Your swing has six speed settings. The LOW button
controls the three low-range speeds and the HIGH
button controls the three high-range speeds.
The lights indicate what speed is activated. The green
lights indicate the three low range speeds and the red
lights indicate the three high range speeds. For example, if the far right light is green, speed 3 is activated.
Push the LOW button once for speed 1, twice for speed
2 or three times for speed 3.
Push the HIGH button once for speed 4, twice for
speed 5 or three times for speed 6.
To go from speed 2 to speed 3, just push the LOW
button once.
It is not necessary to start at lowest speed and move
up. The swing can begin directly at speed 5, for example,
by pushing the HIGH button two times. Or it can go from
speed 6 to speed 2 by pushing the LOW button twice.
After choosing speed, start swing by giving it a gentle
push. Observe swinging motion for a minute. It takes
time for the swing to adjust to a setting. Change setting
as needed.
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.
