Troubleshooting
Drawbridge is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any small obstructions around the drawbridge hinges. Gently test the movement. If still stiff, ensure it is aligned correctly with its mounting points.
Pulley winch is not operating smoothly.
Ensure the cord is not tangled and runs freely through the winch mechanism. Check that the attachment point for the load is secure.
Paint appears to be chipping.
This is uncommon with child-safe paints. Wipe the area gently with a dry cloth. For minor chips, consider touching up with a non-toxic, matching paint if desired, though this is not essential for play.
