4. Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your VATOS Water Park. Adult assistance is recommended for assembly.

Step 1: Prepare the Waterway Connectors

The waterway connection points are designed with pre-pasted waterproof stickers. Ensure these stickers are properly seated within the grooves of the red connector pieces. Do not attempt to re-apply or remove these stickers unless necessary for adjustment.

Figure 4.1: Proper placement of the black sealing strips within the red connector pieces to ensure a watertight seal.

Step 2: Connect Waterway Sections

To connect two waterway sections, align the red connector pieces with the slots on the blue waterway sections. Press down firmly and simultaneously on both sides from top to bottom until the pieces click securely into place. This method ensures a tight, leak-proof connection.

Step 3: Attach Accessories

Once the main waterway is assembled, attach the paddle wheel, tower crane, and other decorative elements like trees to their designated slots on the water table. These pieces are designed to fit snugly.

5. Operating Instructions

Once assembled, the VATOS Water Park offers various interactive play opportunities.

Filling the Waterway:

Carefully pour water into the assembled waterway. Ensure the water level is appropriate for the boats to float and the paddle wheel to operate effectively without overflowing.

Using the Paddle Wheel:

Turn the handle of the paddle wheel to create a current in the water. This current will propel the boats through the canals, demonstrating basic water dynamics.

Operating the Tower Crane:

Use the tower crane to lift and move small accessories or cargo blocks within the water park. This teaches children about the physical mechanics of leverage and simple construction tasks.

Navigating Boats:

Place the boats with their respective dolls into the water. Children can push the boats along the waterway, or use the paddle wheel to create currents that move them. Experiment with different water flows and boat placements.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your VATOS Water Park Toy.

• Cleaning: After each use, especially when used outdoors, empty all water from the playset. Rinse all components with clean water to remove dirt, sand, or debris.
• Drying: Allow all pieces to air dry completely before storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
• Storage: Store the disassembled or assembled water park in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can affect the plastic's durability.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all parts for wear and tear. Replace any damaged components to ensure continued safe play.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your water park, refer to the following common solutions:

• Water Leakage: If water is leaking from the connections, ensure that the red connector pieces are fully and securely pressed into the blue waterway sections. Verify that the pre-pasted waterproof stickers are correctly positioned and not dislodged. Re-align and press down firmly on both sides of the connection.
• Parts Not Fitting: If a piece does not fit, do not force it. Double-check the assembly instructions to ensure you are attempting to connect the correct pieces in the proper orientation. Some pieces may require firm, even pressure to snap into place.
• Stuck Moving Parts: If the paddle wheel or crane mechanism feels stiff, ensure no debris is obstructing its movement. Rinse with clean water to clear any blockages.
