Congratulations on your new toy crane machine! Setting up your arcade-style claw game is straightforward when you follow these steps. First, carefully unbox all components and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. You should have the main cabinet, crane mechanism, control panel, glass or plastic panels, and power cord.

Begin assembly by attaching the base stabilizers if included - these prevent tipping during enthusiastic gameplay. Next, install the front and side transparent panels according to manufacturer instructions, typically using provided screws or clips. Now carefully position the internal crane mechanism, connecting any electrical cables to the control board.

The most crucial step involves calibrating the claw. Power on the machine and test the claw's movement using the control buttons. Adjust the claw tension according to your desired difficulty level - tighter for easier grabs, looser for more challenge. Most machines include calibration instructions in their manual.

Once calibrated, fill the prize compartment with your chosen toys or prizes. Distribute them evenly to ensure fair gameplay. Finally, plug the machine into a standard electrical outlet, and your toy crane is ready for entertainment! Remember to place your machine on a level surface and maintain appropriate voltage for optimal performance.
