Operating Instructions

The John Deere S690 Combine offers several interactive features for engaging play:

• Lights and Sounds: Press the yellow button on top of the combine's cab to activate realistic engine sounds and flashing lights.
• Operating the Auger:
  • To extend the auger, gently pull it out from its stored position on the side of the combine.
  • To simulate unloading, open the grain tank cover on top of the combine and pour in small, dry materials like popcorn kernels (not included).
  • Turn the small knob located near the auger to activate the internal mechanism, which will move the kernels out through the auger.
  • When finished, carefully retract the auger back into its stored position.
• Changing Heads:
  • To remove the currently attached head, gently pull it away from the combine's front until it detaches.
  • Select the desired head (corn or draper) and align it with the combine's front attachment points.
  • Push firmly until the head locks into place.
• Movable Ladder: The ladder on the side of the combine can be moved up and down to simulate entry and exit from the cab.
• Adjustable Head Position: The attached head can be manually moved up and down to simulate harvesting or transport positions.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the combine with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the toy in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
• Battery Replacement: If lights and sounds become faint or stop working, replace the 3 AAA batteries. Always use new batteries of the same type.
• Component Care: While durable, some smaller parts like the auger and steps can be delicate. Handle with care to prevent breakage.
