6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper function of your playset:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the playset with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not immerse in water. Avoid harsh chemicals.

  • Inspection: Periodically check all connections and moving parts for wear and tear. Ensure the launcher mechanism operates smoothly.

7. Troubleshooting

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