Before attaching the

check that the tall boy is
square.
To do this, measure from
the bottom corner of
one side panel to the top
corner of the opposite
side panel, see diagram.
Now measure the
opposite diagonal. If the
measurements are
unequal then the tall boy
is not square.
To square the tall boy,
gently push the top
corner of the longest
diagonal towards the
shortest top corner and
re-measure, continue
until equal (a 2-3mm
difference is acceptable).

screw (R) and washer (S)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE & MAINTENANCE
1. WARNING: Never leave your child unattended. The safety of your child is your responsibility.
2. Before use, ensure the tall boy is on a stable, level surface.
3. Do not allow children to climb on the tall boy.
4. Never use the tall boy if any parts are broken or missing.
5. Never pivot or drag the tall boy on its feet, the tall boy must always be lifted by at least two people when moved.
6. Do not place the tall boy in the near vicinity of open fires or other sources of strong heat, such as electric or gas fires.
7. Always leave the tall boy clean and dry. Wipe away any spillage straight away. The tall boy can be cleaned with a
damp cloth. Never use abrasive, bleach or strong detergents.
8. Check regularly that all fittings and screws are correctly tightened and are not damaged.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE OF THE WALL STRAP
1 THE WALL STRAP IS ONLY INTENDED TO BE USED WITH THE MAMAS & PAPAS PRODUCT THAT IT IS
SUPPLIED WITH.
2 Never attempt to modify or change the wall strap in any way. Never use any other fittings for attaching the
strap to your furniture than those supplied.
3 Never use the screw provided to attach the wall strap to the wall.
NO WALL ATTACHMENT FITTINGS ARE SUPPLIED. This is because the type of fittings required to attach the
wall strap to the chosen wall is determined by the walls composition.
If you are in any doubt about the correct type of fittings to use when attaching your wall strap, consult
a professional before attempting to fix it to the wall.
4 The wall strap must not be used to replace any other fitting supplied with your piece of furniture.
5 Furniture falling over is generally due to the surface the furniture is placed on. A warped floor or wall-to-wall
carpeting will enable the furniture to rock, so greatly increasing the potential for the furniture to fall. If the
furniture is placed on a flat level wood or tiled floor the risk is reduced, but we still recommend the wall
strap is fitted.
Due to constant updating and improvements, some components may occasionally differ slightly from the diagrams
shown in these instructions. Any spare components should be thrown away after you have fully constructed your
product. We reserve the right to change the specifications of any piece of furniture without prior notice.
