To ensure the longevity of your Schleich playset:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the playset and figurines with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

If you encounter any issues with your playset, consider the following:

• Loose Parts: If small parts like guard rails or plants detach easily, ensure they are correctly inserted into their designated slots. Gentle re-attachment is usually sufficient.
• Tranquilizer Cannon Not Firing: Check if the projectile is correctly loaded and the firing mechanism is fully engaged before pressing the button. Ensure no obstructions are present.
• Crane Malfunction: Verify that the cable is properly wound around the winch and not tangled. Ensure the crane arm is securely attached to its base.
