4. Operating Instructions

Once assembled, the LEGO City Downtown Fire Brigade set offers several interactive features for dynamic play.

Fire Ladder Truck:

• Light and Sound Brick: Press the button on the light and sound brick located on the fire truck to activate realistic emergency lights and siren sounds. This brick requires 1 Unknown battery (included).
• Extending Swivel Ladder: Manually extend the ladder by pulling its sections outwards. The ladder can be swiveled 360 degrees on its base to reach different parts of the burning building.
• Water Jet Function: Utilize the pump system on the fire hose. Press the pump mechanism to simulate a ‘water jet’ being sprayed from the hose, aiming at the flame elements on the building.

Crane:

• Swiveling Arm: Rotate the crane's arm manually to position it over different areas of the construction site.
• Functioning Winch: Use the crank on the side of the crane to raise and lower the winch hook, allowing for the lifting and moving of construction materials or debris.

Fire Helicopter and ROV:

• 3-Stud Shooter: Both the fire helicopter and the R.O.S.-T3 ROV are equipped with 3-stud shooters. Load the small stud elements into the shooter and press the trigger to launch them, simulating water or other projectiles.
• Helicopter Cockpit: The helicopter features an opening cockpit to place a minifigure pilot inside.

5. Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and enjoyment of your LEGO City Downtown Fire Brigade set.

• Cleaning: To clean LEGO bricks, use a mild soap solution and lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Avoid hot water or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic.
• Storage: Store the set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and warping of the plastic elements. A storage container can help keep all pieces together.
• Light and Sound Brick: If the light and sound brick stops functioning, ensure the battery is correctly installed. If issues persist, refer to the troubleshooting section or contact LEGO customer support.

6. Troubleshooting

Most issues with LEGO sets can be resolved with simple checks. If you encounter any problems, please consider the following:

• Missing Pieces: Double-check all packaging and sorting areas. If a piece is genuinely missing, LEGO offers a service to replace missing bricks. Refer to the support section for details.
• Light and Sound Brick Not Working: Verify that the battery is inserted correctly and has sufficient charge. If the brick still does not work, it may need replacement.
• Structural Instability: Ensure all bricks are firmly pressed together. Sometimes, a loose connection can cause a section of the model to be unstable. Review the instruction steps for the problematic section.
• Functionality Issues (e.g., water jet, crane winch): Check for any obstructions or misaligned parts that might be preventing the mechanism from operating smoothly.
