Welcome to Your Neighborhood Symphony Activity Jumper Assembly Guide

Thank you for choosing the Neighborhood Symphony Activity Jumper from Baby Einstein. This guide will help you assemble your new jumper with ease. For additional details, please refer to your instruction manual. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to our consumer services department at 1-800-230-8190.

Getting Started: Tools and Preparation

Before you begin, gather a Phillips head screwdriver and three AA batteries. Make sure to remove all packaging materials, including zip ties, cardboard, plastic, and foam, to ensure a smooth assembly process.

Step 1: Identifying and Organizing Parts

Locate all the parts needed for assembly and compare them with the diagram in your instruction manual to ensure you have everything required.

Step 2: Assembling the Base

Find part number 11, which consists of three base tubes. Connect these tubes by inserting the ends into each other. They will only fit one way, forming a circular base. Listen for an audible click to confirm the locking pins are securely engaged.

Step 3: Attaching the Play Surface

Next, locate part number 10, the play surface with three attached spring legs. Connect these spring legs to the short tubes protruding from the base frame. They will only fit one way, and you should hear a click when they are properly secured.

Step 4: Installing the Batteries

Find part number 5A, the drum station. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to open the battery compartment door on the bottom. Insert three AA batteries as indicated. Turn the power on to check if the batteries are working, then switch it off and securely close the compartment door.

Step 5: Adding the Toys

Attach the toys to the play surface by snapping them into their designated slots. Refer to the product packaging and instruction manual for correct installation. Ensure that the three tabs on each toy align with the slots on the platform.

Step 6: Adjusting the Seat Height

To adjust the seat height, move the green buckles up or down the yellow ridges on the spring legs. Make sure all three legs are set to the same height level for balance and safety.

Step 7: Care and Cleaning

To clean, first remove the seat from the play surface by pushing the three tabs underneath the seat ring toward the center. Detach the seven black clips along the bottom of the seat ring to remove the seat pad for cleaning. When reassembling, align the warning label on the seat pad with the higher part of the seat ring, insert the seat pad, and fold it over the seat ring. Secure the seven black clips and ensure the seat and tabs are properly installed. Push the seat into the play surface opening until it clicks into place. The seat can rotate 360 degrees.

Step 8: Storing Your Jumper

For storage, press the locking pins at the bottom of the spring legs and pull the legs up to detach the base from the play surface. Lay the play surface on top of the base for compact storage.
