Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and continued enjoyment of your Toysmith Marble Run, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe down plastic components with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic. Ensure all parts are dry before storage.
• Storage: When not in use, disassemble the marble run and store all pieces and marbles in their original packaging or a suitable container to prevent loss and damage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during play, consider the following common solutions:

• Marbles getting stuck: Check all connections to ensure pieces are firmly joined and aligned. Sometimes a slight misalignment can create a blockage. Ensure no foreign objects are in the tracks.
• Structure instability: Verify that the base pieces are on a flat, level surface. Re-check all connections to ensure they are securely snapped into place. For taller structures, ensure the weight is evenly distributed.
• Missing pieces: Carefully check the packaging and play area. If a piece is genuinely missing upon initial unboxing, contact Toysmith customer support.
