Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for the Beach Bus; it arrives ready to play. To maintain the finish, store the bus in a dry environment away from extreme heat, which could affect the magnets or the paint quality. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or submerging the wooden toy in water, as moisture can damage the wood and the magnetic components.
