Operating Instructions
Using the Crane Car
The blue crane car is designed to lift and transfer magnetic cargo. It features a rotating crane arm and a magnetic hook.
- Positioning: Place the crane car on the railway track. For loading/unloading trucks, position it above the road section or next to a flatbed wagon.
- Lifting Cargo: Rotate the crane arm to align the magnetic hook with a magnetic boulder. Lower the hook to connect with the boulder, then raise it by turning the knob on the side of the crane.
- Transferring Cargo: Move the crane arm to transfer the boulder to a dump truck or the flatbed wagon. Release the boulder by lowering the hook.

Using the Dump Trucks
The blue and yellow dump trucks are designed to transport cargo on the road sections. Their beds can be tilted to unload cargo.
- Loading: Place magnetic boulders or other small cargo into the truck bed, either manually or using the crane car.
- Transport: Manually push the trucks along the road tracks.
- Unloading: Tilt the truck bed upwards to dump the cargo.

Train Operation
The red engine and other train cars connect via magnetic couplings, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly of trains.
- Connecting Cars: Bring the magnetic ends of two train cars close together; they will automatically connect.
- Movement: Manually push the train along the wooden railway tracks.
- Navigating Inclines: When ascending or descending elevated tracks, ensure the train is pushed smoothly to prevent derailing. Longer trains may require more careful handling on slopes.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity of your BRIO World Rail & Road Loading Set.
- Cleaning: Wipe all wooden and plastic components with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and finishes. Ensure all parts are dry before storage.
- Storage: Store the set in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or fading of the wooden components.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all pieces for any signs of wear or damage. Discontinue use of any broken parts to prevent injury.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues while using your BRIO World Rail & Road Loading Set, consider the following common solutions:
- Train Derailment on Inclines: If train cars frequently fall off the tracks on elevated sections, try reducing the number of cars in the train or pushing the train more gently and consistently when navigating slopes. Ensure track connections are secure.
- Loose Track Connections: If track pieces separate during play, ensure they are fully interlocked. Check for any debris in the connection points that might prevent a secure fit.
- Crane Not Lifting Cargo: Verify that the magnetic hook is directly over the magnetic boulder. Ensure the knob for raising/lowering the hook is fully engaged and turning correctly.
