Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is required upon arrival. Ensure you have a standard screwdriver and follow the manual carefully, as attaching the digging arm and the pedal mechanism requires precise alignment. For maintenance, periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight after heavy play. Keep the plastic components clean by wiping them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid leaving the excavator in direct sunlight for extended periods or storing it in damp areas to prevent the plastic from fading or becoming brittle over time. Always store the unit in a garage or shed during inclement weather.
