Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your Schylling Steel Works set, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe parts with a dry cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals, as this may cause rust or damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly or operation, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Missing Parts:
  • Carefully check all packaging materials. Small parts can sometimes be overlooked.
  • Refer to the parts list in the instruction manual to confirm what should be included.
  • If parts are genuinely missing, contact Schylling customer support.
