How do I clean the tow truck?
You can clean the tow truck with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the wooden parts in water or using harsh cleaning agents.
Can the tow truck lift other BRIO vehicles?

Troubleshooting
Car not staying attached to the tow hook.
Ensure the magnetic coupling on both the tow truck and the car are clean and properly aligned. Check that the tow truck's hook is fully lowered and has engaged the car's magnetic coupling securely.
Tow truck moves unevenly on tracks.
Verify that the BRIO tracks are laid flat and securely connected. Obstructions on the track or play surface can cause jerky movements.
Magnetic couplings not connecting.
Clean the magnets on both the tow truck and the car with a dry cloth. Ensure the pieces are brought close enough together for the magnets to attract.
