In our continuing effort to ensure that your experience with Tropitone furniture is positive with regard to comfort, quality and design, and also with regard to safety, please note the following important safety information, in addition to other safety information noted in this booklet.

SAFETY WARNING! Use of furniture needing care and maintenance or use of damaged furniture can result in injury. Also, minor repair issues can become major repair and service issues, and create potential safety issues. Contact your local Tropitone Dealer or Sales Representative for support.

PRODUCT INSPECTION

Periodically and carefully inspect all Tropitone products for breakage and/or indications of wear. Inspections must include, but not be limited to, spring assemblies and the weld areas of product seats, arms and legs. If any cracks should appear on the product or at welds, the item must immediately be removed from service until repaired.

Inspections must include all bolts (on seating pieces, tables, umbrellas, etc.). Should any loose or missing hardware be detected, the item must be removed from service immediately until the hardware can be properly tightened and/or replaced.

Inspections must include straps, slings and EZ Span™ segments. Should any loose, missing or damaged straps, slings or EZ Span™ segments be detected, the item must be removed from service immediately until repaired and/or replacement parts installed.

Inspections must include chaise lounge and recliner headrest ratchets. Periodically tighten the headrest bolts on all chaise lounges and recliners. Confirm all other hardware is tight, movement is smooth without binding, and that the ratchet engages properly at each position. At the same time, carefully inspect the headrest ratchets for breakage and/or wear. If headrest ratchet breakage and/or indications of headrest ratchet wear are present, a replacement headrest should be ordered. The furniture must immediately be removed from service until repaired and/or replacement parts installed.

To obtain replacement parts, please see the SERVICE / ORDERING PARTS AND ACCESSORIES.

Product failure caused by a lack of reasonable and necessary care and maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.

Notice for Commercial Installations
Periodically and carefully inspect all Tropitone products for breakage and/or indications of wear. Such inspections must include all products of a like kind and model, not merely a random sampling within model categories or among like products.

Regular random inspections of a sampling within model categories and among like products must be undertaken in addition to the periodic inspections of all products.

CHAISE LOUNGE AND RECLINERS

Chaise Lounge Headrest Ratchet Replacement
Tropitone’s chaise lounges are equipped with metal headrest ratchets which are welded in place and normally do not need replacement. If an older chaise lounge is equipped with nylon headrest ratchets, discontinue use of such chaise lounges immediately.

Consumers
Contact your local Tropitone Dealer for replacement.

Commercial Customers:
Contact your Tropitone Sales Representative (except for ratchets that have been retrofitted with a Tropitone “J” bracket retrofit kit).

Headrest Adjustment

SAFETY WARNING! Chaise lounge and recliner headrests must NEVER be adjusted while seated in the chaise. Serious finger, hand or other bodily injury may result from adjusting the headrest while seated. Headrests must always be adjusted while out of the furniture and standing to the side.

Notice for Commercial Installations
Include the following or substantially similar conspicuous written notice as part of the posted Rules and Regulations at poolside, and elsewhere wherever chaise lounges and recliners are available for use: “Never adjust chaise lounge or recliner headrests while seated. Serious finger, hand or other bodily injury may result from adjusting headrest while seated.”

SAFETY WARNING! During windy conditions, chaise lounge and recliner headrests may be blown forward, possibly resulting in head, neck, facial, arm and/or back injuries. During windy conditions the headrests must be lowered to the fully down position. The use of the chaise lounges and recliners must be discontinued and users should leave the area.
