4. Setup
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Placement: Position the animatronic in its desired location. The unit is designed to sit, so a sturdy chair or similar support (not included) is recommended. Ensure the surface is flat and stable.
- Connect Power: Connect the power adapter cable to the designated port on the animatronic. Then, plug the power adapter into a standard household electrical outlet.

- Activation: The Scary Sitting Scarecrow Animatronic is primarily activated by its integrated motion sensor. When movement is detected within the sensor's range, the animatronic will initiate its scare sequence.
- Scare Sequence: Upon activation, the scarecrow will rise up with a pop-up motion, accompanied by sounds and illuminated eyes (if applicable).
- Power Off: To turn off the animatronic, simply unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the animatronic, gently spot clean fabric and plastic components with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Do not immerse any part of the animatronic in water.
- Storage: When not in use, unplug the animatronic and store it in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure all components are completely dry before storing.
