Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down the truck and backhoe with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the toy in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
- Handling: While made from high-quality plastics, avoid excessive force or dropping the toy to prevent damage to moving parts.
Troubleshooting
- Loose Parts: If small, detachable parts (like side gates or ramps) become loose, they can typically be re-attached by snapping them back into their designated slots.
- Stiff Movements: If the backhoe arms or loader become stiff, ensure no debris is obstructing the joints. Gentle manipulation should restore smooth movement.
