Welcome to Your Neptune’s Ocean Discovery Jumper Assembly Guide

Thank you for choosing the Neptune’s Ocean Discovery Jumper from Baby Einstein. This guide will help you assemble your new jumper with ease. For more detailed information, 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

Before you begin, gather a Philips head screwdriver and three AA batteries. Ensure all packaging materials like zip ties, cardboard, plastic, and foam are removed.

Step 1: Assembling the Base

Start by assembling the base using part number 12, which includes three base tubes. Connect these tubes by inserting the ends into each other. They will only fit in one way, forming a circular base. Listen for a click to confirm the locking pins are engaged securely.

Step 2: Adding the Play Surface

Next, find part number 11, the play surface with three spring legs. Attach these legs to the short tubes protruding from the base frame. They will only fit in one way, and you should hear a click when the locking pins engage. Ensure the connection is secure.

Step 3: Installing the Batteries

Locate part number one, the Neptune piano. Use a Philips head screwdriver to open the battery compartment door on the back. Insert three AA batteries as indicated. Turn the power on to check the batteries, then switch it off and secure the battery compartment door.

Step 4: Adding the Toys

Snap the toys into their designated slots on the play surface. Refer to the product packaging and instruction manual for guidance. Tip: Align the small tabs on the toys with the slots on the platform for proper installation.

Step 5: Adjusting the Seat Height

To adjust the seat height, move the red buckles along the yellow ridges on the spring legs. Ensure all three legs are set to the same height level.

Step 6: Adding the Seat to the Play Surface

Insert the completed seat into the opening in the middle of the play surface. You will hear a click when it is securely in place. The seat can rotate 360° in either direction.

Care and Cleaning

To clean, remove the seat from the play surface by pushing the three tabs under the seat ring toward the center. Detach the six black clips along the seat ring’s bottom to remove the seat pad. After cleaning, align the warning label on the seat pad with the higher part of the seat ring. Insert the seat pad, fold it over the seat ring, and secure the six black clips into their grooves. Push the seat back into the play surface until it clicks.

Storage

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.
