4. Setup and Assembly

The Goki Wooden Crane Toy is largely pre-assembled. Minimal setup is typically required to prepare it for play.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for storage or disposal.
2. Minor Assembly (if required): Some models may require attaching the boom to the tower or securing the base. If screws are provided, use a suitable screwdriver to firmly attach these parts. Do not overtighten.
3. Check Stability: Once assembled, ensure the crane stands stably on a flat surface. Verify that all wheels rotate freely and the crane's rotating mechanism (if applicable) moves smoothly.
4. Hook and Pulley System: Ensure the string for the hook and pulley system is correctly threaded and the hook moves up and down smoothly when the winding mechanism is operated.

5. Operating Instructions

The Goki Wooden Crane is designed for intuitive play, simulating the functions of a real construction crane.

• Movement: The crane can be moved across flat surfaces using its wheels. Encourage pushing or pulling from the base for stability.
• Rotation: The crane's boom and tower can typically rotate 360 degrees on its base. Gently turn the upper section to position the hook over desired objects.
• Lifting Mechanism: Use the winding handle (usually located on the side of the tower) to raise or lower the hook. Turn clockwise to lift and counter-clockwise to lower.
• Attaching Objects: The hook is designed to pick up small, lightweight objects. The included lifting platform can be used to transport miniature cargo.
