Setup and Assembly

Tools required: Phillips head screwdriver (not included).

1. Attach Legs: Insert each of the four leg supports into the designated slots on the underside of the water table base. Apply firm pressure until they click into place. If a leg is difficult to insert, applying a small amount of dish soap to the connection point can assist.
2. Install Drain Plug: Locate the drain hole at the bottom of the water table. Insert the drain plug firmly into the hole. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks. If the plug is difficult to insert, soaking it in warm water for a few minutes can make it more pliable.
3. Assemble Wavemaker Wheel: Attach the wavemaker wheel assembly to the side of the water table as indicated in the diagrams. Secure with screws if necessary (refer to specific product diagrams for screw locations).
4. Position Skull Island Waterfall: Place the skull island waterfall unit in its designated central position within the water table.
5. Insert Palm Trees: Place the two palm tree accessories into their respective slots on the water table.
6. Final Check: Ensure all components are securely attached before filling with water.

Operating Instructions

1. Fill with Water: Fill the water table with clean water to a suitable level, ensuring it does not overflow.
2. Create Waves: Turn the red wavemaker wheel located on the side of the table. This action will generate waves that move the included characters around the central skull island.
3. Activate Waterfall: Pour water into the top of the skull island unit using the included water bucket. Water will cascade down, creating a waterfall effect for characters to slide through.
4. Interactive Play: Utilize the included characters (shark, mermaid, narwhal, pirate on a boat) and treasure chest for imaginative play. The treasure chest can be hidden in various locations within the table.

Maintenance

• Draining: After each use, remove the drain plug to empty all water from the table.
• Cleaning: Clean the water table regularly with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue. Pay attention to nooks and crannies to prevent mold or algae growth.
• Drying: Allow all components to air dry completely before storage.
• Storage: Store the water table in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong its lifespan and prevent material degradation.

Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Assembling Legs/Plug: If legs or the drain plug are difficult to insert, apply a small amount of dish soap or warm water to the connection points to make the plastic more pliable and reduce friction.
• Water Leaks: Ensure the drain plug is fully and securely inserted. Check for any cracks or damage to the water table basin.
• Wavemaker Not Creating Strong Waves: Ensure the water level is appropriate. The wavemaker is designed to create gentle waves to move the lightweight accessories, not large surf.
• Algae/Mold Growth: This indicates insufficient cleaning and drying. Follow maintenance instructions to clean thoroughly and ensure complete drying after each use.
