Setup

1. Battery Installation

  1. Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the motorized Elefun body.
  2. Using a Phillips head screwdriver (not included), open the battery compartment cover.
  3. Insert 4 "C" batteries (not included) into the compartment, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated.
  4. Replace the battery compartment cover and secure it with the screw.

2. Assembling the Trunk and Nets

  1. Attach the plastic trunk to the top of the Elefun body by firmly pressing it into place. Ensure it is securely seated.
  2. Assemble the firefly nets by attaching the net fabric to the plastic rims, then securing the handles to the rims.

Adult assembly is required for initial setup.

Operating Instructions

Playing the Game

  1. Place the Elefun game on a flat, stable surface.
  2. Load the fireflies into Elefun's mouth opening.
  3. Turn Elefun on using the power switch located on the base. The elephant will begin to blow air, sending the fireflies up through its trunk and into the air.
  4. Players use their nets to catch as many fireflies as possible as they float down.
  5. For continuous play, reload Elefun by placing caught fireflies back into its mouth.
  6. The player who catches the most fireflies by the end of the game (or a predetermined time) wins.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Wipe the Elefun body and plastic components with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motorized unit in water. Ensure all parts are dry before storage.
  • Storage: Store the game and its components in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Battery Removal: If the game will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage.

Troubleshooting

ProblemSolution
Elefun does not turn on or blow air.
  • Check if batteries are inserted correctly with proper polarity.
  • Replace old or depleted batteries with new "C" batteries.
  • Ensure the power switch is in the "ON" position.
Fireflies are not blowing out or get stuck.
  • Ensure the trunk is securely attached and not obstructed.
  • Check if the fan mechanism inside Elefun's body is clear of debris.
  • Verify batteries have sufficient power; low batteries can reduce fan strength.
  • Do not overfill Elefun with fireflies; load a reasonable amount at a time.
Nets are not staying together.
  • Ensure the net fabric is properly secured to the plastic rim and the handle is firmly attached.
  • If parts are damaged, contact customer support for replacement options.
