Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your Mega Construx Fire Truck, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the building bricks and figures with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the assembled truck and loose pieces in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps prevent discoloration and warping of the plastic.
• Handling: Handle the assembled model with care, especially the extendable ladder, to avoid accidental breakage of small parts.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly or play, consider the following:

• Missing Pieces: Double-check the packaging and surrounding area. Sometimes small pieces can be overlooked. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact customer support (information not provided in this manual).
• Difficulty Connecting Pieces: Ensure the pieces are correctly oriented and aligned. Apply firm, even pressure. If a piece is too tight, gently wiggle it into place. Do not force pieces, as this may cause damage.
• Ladder Not Extending/Swiveling Smoothly: Check for any misaligned pieces or obstructions in the ladder mechanism. Ensure all connections are secure as per the instruction booklet.
• Figures Not Posing Correctly: Ensure the figure's joints are clean and free of debris. Gently manipulate the joints to achieve the desired pose.
