2. Safety Information

WARNING: Not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts which may present a choking hazard.

Always supervise children during play. Ensure all components are used as intended to prevent injury.

3. Assembly Instructions

The Domino Express Starter Lane is designed for quick and easy setup. Follow these steps to assemble your first cascade:

Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the box. Verify that you have all components: 1 labyrinth with its ball, 1 bridge, and 60 dominoes.
Prepare the Play Area: Choose a flat, stable surface for building your domino cascade.
Assemble Obstacles (if applicable): If your set includes a labyrinth or bridge, position them according to your desired cascade design. The labyrinth typically involves placing a ball at the top to initiate the domino fall.
Arrange Dominos: Place the dominoes upright, ensuring they are close enough to each other so that when one falls, it triggers the next in sequence. Experiment with different spacing to achieve a smooth cascade.

4. Operating Instructions

Once your domino cascade is assembled, it's time to initiate the chain reaction:

Initiate the Cascade: Gently push the first domino in your sequence, or release the ball from the labyrinth if you are using it as a starting mechanism.
Observe the Reaction: Watch as the dominoes fall one after another, creating a captivating chain reaction.
Experiment and Create: After observing your first cascade, rearrange the dominoes and accessories to create new and more complex designs. Try incorporating the bridge or other obstacles to add variety to your cascades.

5. Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your Domino Express Starter Lane set, follow these simple care instructions:

Cleaning: Wipe components with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Do not immerse in water.
Storage: Store all pieces in their original packaging or a suitable container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or discoloration.
Handling: Handle dominoes and accessories with care to avoid damage.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Domino Express set, consider the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Solution
Dominos do not fall in sequence.	Check the spacing between dominoes. They should be close enough to trigger the next, but not so close that they fall prematurely. Ensure dominoes are placed on a perfectly flat and stable surface. Verify that all dominoes are standing perfectly upright.
Labyrinth ball does not trigger dominoes.	Ensure the labyrinth is correctly assembled and stable. Position the first domino directly in the path of the ball as it exits the labyrinth.
Components feel loose or unstable.	Re-check all connections and ensure pieces are firmly interlocked where applicable. Ensure the play surface is completely flat and level.
